<p>I just signed for the free trial and the only complaint I have is the video player. There's no preview and hovering the mouse doesn't tell you the time. There's also that the website doesn't remember where you left off and the video doesn't load ahead so if the internet goes out for a second the video immediately stops. Hope they add this features in the near future.</p><p> </p><p>

If this issues are only me someone tell me.</p>

I am guessing none of you are using an Xbox 360 than. A lot of people can't sign in at all. I can but no option to watch any WCW or ECW ppvs and can't select any Summerslams, Survivor Series, Royal Rumbles, or Wrestlemaina other than the most recent one. That being said I can actually watch the other stuff and it plays without freezing so an improvement over the last 2 days.

<p>Definitely worth reading:</p><p> </p><p>

<a href="http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1974587-triple-h-talks-nxt-arrival-wwe-network-performance-center-and-more" rel="external nofollow"><strong>Triple H talks about NXT, the performance center and the upcoming live show</strong></a></p><p> </p><p>

A few more points that weren't in the article:</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>* The conversation between he and Vince when Vince wanted Triple H to take a bigger role in the company was one that took place over a long period of time. He joked that it happened way before he got involved with Stephanie McMahon. He enjoys watching the behind-the-scenes process and felt like a “giddy dad” watching The Shield vs. The Wyatt Family at Elimination Chamber. He said Vince had a huge smile on his face after the match and said, “Wow!”</strong></p><p><strong>

* He said taking over WWE creative was part of streamlining the process because they want everything to match up.</strong></p><p><strong>

* He praised the NXT trainers.</strong></p><p><strong>

* He said the guys from the indies are doing great moves but they need to learn story telling and that slowing down and letting fans digest what’s going on is important.</strong></p><p><strong>

* They may do more live NXT shows on the Network in the future but right now they’re focused on Arrival. NXT shows around the big pay-per-views like WrestleMania and SummerSlam are possible.</strong></p>

I can't tell people enough to go ahead and keep letting Microsoft and WWE Network customer service know what's been going on because when I've watched it on my laptop, it's an awesome service. The people I have been able to talk to on the phone with WWE Network CS said that they have all received calls concerning that, as well as other technical issues when trying to watch it on the 360. I wouldn't be shocked if these bugs were Microsoft's fault. And be sure to let them know of EVERY glitch you encounter.</p><p> </p><p> BTW, @milamber, thanks for those tidbits from that Triple H OOC interview. It's always nice getting his perspective on things, whether you agree or disagree with him. It also helps to put things in WWE into perspective, even if I don't agree with everything that's booked.</p>

I think I'm going to just watch as many War Games matches as possible today.

 

And i'm starting a 2008 marathon, my first year marathon. I'm watching the Royal Rumble, and i'm cureently at the Rumble Match. Dude, this is awesome.

 

I'm going to be doing a little project of my own that I'm calling "30 Days of WrestleMania." Basically, I'll be watching every WrestleMania in order, from the first one to WrestleMania 30 coming up in April. BTW, anyone else notice that for SummerSlam '88, they kept the "WWF: What the world is watching!" opening video as is, but for whatever reason, used the edited one for the 1989 Royal Rumble? Odd. I did love seeing the outer space "recognized leader in sports entertainment" intro video from 1985 before the Wrestling Classic started up.

Does anybody else feel irked at how most of the Divas (both WWE and NXT) aren't wearing kneepads? (I notice it most on Emma, Eva Marie, Natalya, and Tamina)

I get that their matches aren't as high-impact as the mens', but COME ON, you would think they'd keep their knees protected, right?

 

You know, I never noticed that till you mentioned it. I'll be looking out for that now! I always felt irked when Randy Orton was going through that phase of not wearing wrist tape. Just didn't look right. I get when a wrestler occasionally may not wear it because they forgot it or what have you, but there was a time a few years ago when Orton seemed to think it was a good look. I guess he figured out it wasn't.

 

BTW, random WWE Network note, I was disappointed they didn't leave in Mean Gene's F-Bomb interview from SummerSlam 1989. :p j/k

I'm trying to remember, that was WrestleMania VI, wasn't it? Glad they left that in. :D

 

I like the Video Vaults and Best of the Worst that they play during breaks in live programming, though I hope they have more stuff than just Playboy Buddy Rose's Blow Away Diet and the Kennel from Hell, as funny as those are. :D

 

And am I the only one who was laughing when during the catchphrase episode of Countdown, they did that bit of playing Austin's "What?" and Bryan's "Yes!" back and forth?

That was a laugh out loud moment it would also be a hilarious promo if they did it. And yes it was WrestleMania 6 they also left Heenan cursing at Andre after the match scream "I'm the F**kin Boss"
