DaMegaFish Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 So anyone watching the original shows on WWE Network yet like Wrestlemania Rewind? I personally thought the first episode was a fun watch, and I really enjoyed they showed the full tag match between Hogan and Mr. T vs Mr. Wonderful and Roddy Piper. I had never actually watched the full match and it was a actually a better match than I expected. They kinda got real loose with the tagging rules, but that really helped make Mr. T look a lot better, so I was okay with it. Anyway, looking forward to more of the original shows if they are all quality as that one was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TakerNGN74 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I only have access to the network on my PC because I am not a gamer and don't have a system nor do I have roku. I watch most of what I do on my computer anyway. NXT was fine for me tonight I had to refresh the stream once or twice but I got to see everything so I can't complain. The live channel is great however it takes me a while to find something in the VOD that actually works. I was able to watch some of WWE Wrestlemania 14, 16, and 17 which was an improvement from yesterday so it looks like slowly but surely the problems with the VOD are getting fixed. However if six months down the line the VOD problems are still there then I will probably wont renew once the first six month period is up.

Teh_Showtime Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 <p>For the most part NXT was flawless on my laptop. I few hiccups during the Russev segment and one during the main event but other than that it was great.</p><p> </p><p> NXT was a great show. Zayn/Cesaro delivered of course while Paige and Emma had the best women's match in WWE history legitimately. Main event was good too.

With the Roku update (thanks for mentioning TheBooker!) the VOD playback is more stable - could get through Starrcade 83, but if I tried to load Starrcade 84 it would actually boot me out of the channel entirely. Starrcade 85 loaded up fine though.</p><p> </p><p> Hopefully they'll get it sorted as they figure out just what their typical usage rates are.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UkWrestleFan Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 <p>Finally sorted my access out from the UK using Unblock-us. I was hoping to have access via my 360 but it seems I'm plagued by some issues that others encounter and am told my details are not correct when I login (even though they are) so I guess I'll just have to work.</p><p> </p><p> I watched WrestleMania I on my laptop this morning and it was mostly fine. Had a few tiny little bits of lag / skipping but it didn't cause too much of a problem for me. I also watched Taz vs Bam Bam in ECW. Don't recall the event, or year, but it was pretty good.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
