Astil Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 You can use paypal in America. Not sure about other countries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moe Hunter Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I'd be more interested once it rolls out in Australia if you could get Raw and Smackdown after 48-72 hours. I haven't got time to watch old matches, I only watch the Main Event highlights, don't watch Superstars and NXT is free on Hulu. I'd only be getting it for the PPVs. Edit: Seems like it rolled out in Australia a few days ago. Can't find a price, though. $9.99USD is $10.72AUD with today's exchange rate which would be a pretty good price. You do pay in US$. They don't have any BS regional pricing like some other services (*cough*Steam*cough*) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackman Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 You do pay in US$. They don't have any BS regional pricing like some other services (*cough*Steam*cough*) Which is good. As for the 'distraction finishes': we had two countout finishes in one week: Ziggler's and AJ's. It's too much imo. It used to be a rare occurence. I can't believe I'm going to have to beg someone to couple their credit card to my account, only to remove it immediately, if I want to have the network. Or I should do what thousands others do and change my IP to a US adress. And again: paypal is mentioned as an option, but you still need to couple your credit card to it, which I don't want to do for obvious reasons.

ThatChizzle Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 heh I only really use the WWE Network for the PPVs, 9.99 a month from network is a steal since the cable company wants $50 for every ppv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoganRodzen Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 heh I only really use the WWE Network for the PPVs, 9.99 a month from network is a steal since the cable company wants $50 for every ppv. Same here. I enjoy watching WWE PPVs every month. They always have something I want to see. For $10/mo its a no-brainer. Getting to watch older matches and shows is just a bonus in my opinion. They have a lot of material on the WWE Network and continue to roll out new and old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayden Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I have a question regarding the network for anyone who has had it a while. Summerslam was to be the first ppv I would get to watch on the network so I booked the day off work and everything but as I go to load the video I just get a "error: can't load video at this time" message. Is this normal for ppvs? Like is it an overload thing? I'm hoping it comes round soon cos otherwise my plans for the day are wasted...

lazorbeak Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I really thought Hogan was going to come back out during the Rusev anthem spot. Now I'm hoping Rusev can gingerly put Hogan in the Accolade on Raw tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CQI13 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 That error message seems to be an overload thing (it was far more common in the first few days of the Network). It happens now, but very rare - I can back out of the video and go back in and it works fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guyver3 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I had the same thing happen to me and the summerslam feed has been low quality for most of the show so far although it's gotten better during the lumberjack match but this is definitely the worst it's ever been for me for a ppv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvdWarrior Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 It's a great deal for me because NXT is the best Tv wrestling by far (this week's episode was proof) but the old content is pretty much useless to me unless I want to pick and choose matches to watch and it's a chore to do that too. I'm not sure how many people can just watch random PPVs with no context It takes some getting used to, admittedly, but I usually find myself a lot more drawn to the old stuff than the new usually. I'm probably just a little too into reliving my childhood though. I also watched a Cowboys - Dolphins game from 1993 on the NFL Network just to wallow in the nostalgia. I'm a little weird that way, or so I've been told. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazorbeak Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I loved that main event. Called back to Wrestlemania, showed that you don't always need to book 51/49 every match, especially with Roman/Randy being the "traditional" end of match sequence where it's just "guy goes for finisher, gets reversed, other guy sets up for finisher." Not to dump on that match, it was fine, but it would've been irritating if Cena Brock was all STF's into Kimura counters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatChizzle Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 guess Brock can't wrestle lol, but who needs to wrestle when you can just suplex someone 16 times in a row? heh Brutal match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sockpuppet Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 guess Brock can't wrestle lol, but who needs to wrestle when you can just suplex someone 16 times in a row? heh Brutal match. Can't wrestle, can't sell and was gassed 4 minutes into the match. He was even two moves short of five moves of doom! F5, chin lock, German suplex. Lather, rinse, repeat.

F5, chin lock, German suplex. Lather, rinse, repeat. To reiterate, this match ruled. I really enjoyed it. Sweaty =/ gassed. Lesnar could've dead-lifted John Cena sixteen more times. I like the WWE main event formula fine, but I thought it was great to dramatically get away from it for the main event: made it feel special.

djthefunkchris Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I don't think Brock looked gassed at all. I have to agree with Lazor, looked to me like he could throw Cena around for another hour if he wanted to. I also enjoyed it, looked really brutal. One of the earliest suplexes looked like it could have legitimately hurt Cena (I kind of cringed while watching it) the way he landed on his neck, but he looked alright later.

Kitarzu Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Now, who's gonna beat him? For me there's only one plausible option... Daniel Bryan. I'm convinced he was the design victim for Brock Lesnar, but the injuries scrapped the plans and change the actors of this story. I still think the WM31 main event in original was Cena vs Lesnar. The only concern is the injury, unless they are trolling on his health status, like they did in the past. The super monster against the ultimate underdog. Easy to write, not to so easy to excute, considering the initial idea for the WM30 main event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't there originally going to be a Rock-Brock WM31 match until Rock injured himself filming Hercules and needed surgery or something? I also think Bryan would be the ideal guy but all signs seem to be pointing to Reigns-Brock WM judging by how Reigns has been pushed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minarin Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 The way that the Lesnar vs Cena match was perfect. If they keep this up with Lesnar destroying all comers (when they can use him), it'll make a instant star out of whoever beats him. That is if WWE don't screw it up.

ThriceP86 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Summerslam last night (or what I have officially dubbed it Smummerslam because it sounds funny :p;)) is a total contender for show of the year for WWE. From top to bottom I found many things I could enjoy from Ziggler winning the IC title, Paige winning the Diva's title, Lesnar dominating Cena, and I even got a little kick out of Nikki's turn on Brie even though I could see it coming a mile away. The only thing that puzzled me was that Cesaro lost to RVD in the pre-show. What the hell has Cesaro done to deserve losing now? I thought he was going to get a good push after winning that Andre Memorial Battle Royal at Mania? WTH?! Anyways, I thoroughly enjoyed Smummerslam and Rollins vs Ambrose was definitely match of the night. Once again: Smummerslam! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayW Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 After reading the comments here it seems I may be in the minority in that I didnt enjoy Brock vs Cena. I love MMA, I love wrestling. I love one sided MMA fights. It's something you know you're getting yourself into when you buy an event. If it was a UFC event last night and Lesnar done 16 German suplexes I'd be marking out that he could do that to someone in a legit battle. But this is professional wrestling. I don't buy an event to see an extremely one sided main event. I buy to be entertained. And sixteen German suplexes isn't entertaining in professional wrestling. I get what they are trying to do, it's the whole "Lesnar still has the MMA mentality", but come on. I want to see professional wrestling when I buy WWE events, not faux MMA combat. Anyway... Other than that, it was a top event. Thoroughly enjoyed the Ambrose / Rollins match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FINisher Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Really loved the main event, I wouldn't have enjoyed as much if it hadn't been someone else than Cena taking the beating. Not that great as a match but great as a moment. Anything where Cena takes a beating and actually loses, I like. Though I do like Lesnar but after beating Taker and Cena, who's really left for him to take on? Roman Reigns seems to be the only face who has atleast some credibility to take on Lesnar. Ambrose - Rollins was fun to watch, really loving the whipping lariat from Ambrose. Paige vs. AJ could have used more wrestling and more spots but I'm not complaining, they're both awesome. I was disappointed with Steph vs. Bella though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
