bigtplaystew Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 <p>It's annoying me a little bit that the WWE said "every WWE, WCW, and ECW PPV EVER AT LAUNCH" They were specific words. They also said every episode of ECW tv AT LAUNCH, which obviously isn't the case.</p><p> </p><p> Is it a big deal? Probably not there is more than enough to watch right now. But it bugs me. Neither of the 2014 PPVs are up. Which, hey, maybe they can't and i'm sure there are reasonable explanations for why they can't. Maybe it's as simple as some kind of distribution rights in place with a cable company or two? Maybe it's as devious as they want to wait for DVDs to come out. I'm fine with it either way, but then don't say EVERY PPV EVER! And there's a few missing here and there. </p><p> </p><p> I can forgive the server problems. I can understand the streaming issues and not every app will work right with SO many different devices available at launch. But don't advertise crap as being available AT LAUNCH that isn't available.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayW Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 The only PPV's I've seen anyone mention that were missing were the overseas WCW ones (the NJPW shows and the German PPV) and the overseas WWE ones (Inserrextion etc). I'm not sure why these aren't on there but it's possible that at least with the NJPW shows that WWE don't own the full rights to the shows. If they were co-produced then it might be joint rights most likely meaning that NJPW would be due a cut. If that is indeed the case then it makes sense from a business standpoint to leave them out.

Jaysin Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 They said Elimination Chamber wasn't going to be on the Network until 30 days later because the Network was launching the next day. In theory, people wouldn't want to pay $50 to see Elimination Chamber live if they could watch it on the Network the next day. Anyway, catching up on NXT and Tensai could actually turn into a real solid color guy. I'm enjoying him greatly. Rusev's manager Lana is really coming into her own on the mic as her confidence grows. Tensai doing the Emma dance is fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Sin Cara & Los Matadores vs. The Shield on Main Event here on the Network has been one heck of a match.

They teased a lot of tension between Swagger and Cesaro throughout the match.</span></p><p><span style="color:#C0C0C0;"> </span></p><p><span style="color:#C0C0C0;"> - We see Alberto Del Rio talking to Vickie Guerrero backstage. He asks for the night off, but she refuses to give it to him. Sheamus ends up coming in and challenging him to a match.</span></p><p><span style="color:#C0C0C0;"> </span></p><p><span style="color:#C0C0C0;"> - Alexander Rusev and Lana come out to the top of the stage to cut a live promo.

Sheamus via Disqualification. The finish saw Christian coming out to attack Sheamus. He hit him with his Killswitch finisher.

milamber Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 <p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Raw Review:</span></strong></p><p> </p><p> <strong>Del Rio vs Batista</strong> - Slow-paced and not much better than a divas match. At least they finally addressed the fans' reaction to Bootista.</p><p> <strong>Big E vs Cesaro</strong> - Good match with an interesting finish. Big E is proving he can wrestle well in longer matches. Cesaro should be the next IC champ.</p><p> <strong>Cena & The Wyatt Family</strong> - Strong segment to kick this feud into gear.</p><p> <strong>Christian vs Sheamus</strong> - Good physical match. I've enjoyed watching Sheamus since his return. Christian is more interesting as a heel.</p><p> <strong>Bryan vs Kane</strong> - Bryan is one of the few guys who can get a good match out of Kane. Both the pre-match and post-match promos were solid. Fantasy booking: Bryan pulls double duty at Mania, beating HHH in the opening match to earn a spot in the WWE Title Match.</p><p> <strong>Summer vs Emma</strong> - Finally got the full dorky entrance with bubbles! The match was OK. Summer looked good. The Emma Lock is badass.</p><p> <strong>NAO vs Usos</strong> - More effective than a full rematch. Still don't know why the Usos didn't win at EC but whatever.</p><p> <strong>Reigns vs Bray</strong> - A bit disappointing. The pace was too slow and they both need better opponents to carry them. Not keen on the DQ finish since they already did it earlier in the show. The crowd sucked ass for most of this match.</p><p> <strong>Lesnar, Heyman & Undertaker</strong> - This awesome segment got me pumped up but I'm still unsure about this match. I fear Lesnar will have to hold back so he doesn't injure Taker. And as badass as Lesnar is, his part-time status means that unless you're a total mark it's obvious Lesnar has 0% chance of winning. Also, Taker should be putting over younger guys before he retires.</p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Verdict:</span></strong> Good show but not as good as I was expecting.</p><p> </p><p> <img alt="tumblr_n1j89wBw5w1rnjfjfo1_r1_400.gif" data-src="https://31.media.tumblr.com/65dcd25fad3b84f8a862ea452ac70ee2/tumblr_n1j89wBw5w1rnjfjfo1_r1_400.gif" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Some on demand content has become a bit better here. Not that much, but it has been more watchable than yesterday. I was able to watch some 20 minutes of Royal Rumble 2010 with no buffering, but well...after Christian vs. Ezekiel Jackson ended it became a completely different story. And that's some content. Money in the Bank 2010 has been unwatchable and i'm excited to be able to watch it as it is my favorite PPV of 2010. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
