I've heard some good things about TNA in recent months, I noticed they are currently doing a free month for their app. Have not even watched any yet though as been watching from the start again.
Currently on ppv 32 and Russo is on camera now with his S.E.X faction, it's so bad it's so good.
WWE Network won’t be available after December.
Select programming and historical ppvs is the phrase used for what would be available on netflix, as much as the network is great for past years, I don't think many are seeking out the 70's/80's other territories/promotions.Quote:

WWE vault is amazing, lots of survivor series matches been posted this week, yet to watch the story of the first elimination chamber documentary yet, did watch the Kevin Nash career retrospect which was a good and quick watch.
Raw in Glasgow at least £200 a ticket!
Absolute rip off.
Ooft. Shambles that.Quote:

Got Netflix the other day, nothing available yet but I think old WWE ppvs will be available from the 1st, no WCW or ECW yet. Vault have uploaded an ECW show from the arena from 2006, I'm guessing the first time back since ECW closed.
Not watched any WWE or AEW in a couple months.
Just watching wrestlemania 17. Jericho vs regal was OK, but so short. Rtc vs tazz and apa was about 3 minutes long.
Onto kane vs raven vs big show for the hard-core championship. It is absolutely stupid. (In a good way).
Guys, this eddie guerrero seems like a bit of a cheat... he wins against test.
Next up kurt angle vs... never mind actually.
Royal Rumble next year is meant to be in Saudi Arabia. They'll get a WM before the UK does.
Funny I watched that the other day, when raven crashes the golf cart lol story goes he was close to cutting the power for the show unless it's bull****.Quote:

I’ve just put it on 😂 a little disappointing the amount of ads on the ring mat, I know they had prime before but nearly on every available spaceQuote:

I watched the 2000 Royal Rumble and whilst the Cactus Jack v Triple H street fight was lengthy (and brilliant) some of the other matches were ridiculously short. The Tag Team title match between the New Age Outlawz the Acolytres was under 3 minutes and Kurt Angle v Tazz was only just over 3 minutes. By contrast the shortest match in 2024 was 14 minutes, in 2023 was 5 minutes and in 2022 was 10 minutes.
Same with the Raw and Smackdown episodes from the time. Whilst it was good actually seeing the champion wrestle every show or at least every other show compared to the lighter schedules now, matches were often very short. The storylines are ridiculous and don't really stand up today but it's still great fun from a nostalgia viewpoint.
Just watched Raw and agree the in ring action was rank, I love the fact it's now on Netflix but think I will do my usual and catch weekly highlights on Twitter and just watch the Pay per views
I'm not pro one of the other but AEW is definitely more for me and has been since it started
Thought one of the benefits of Netflix was that they could do a less PG product. What was with them bleeping out minor swearing in that case?
Is Netflix planning on adding more of the back catalogue over time?
There isn't a huge amount of Raw and Smackdown on and none of the old Armageddons yet.
Also doesn't seem to be a lot, if any, old ECW or WCW stuff. I think there is still some content on Peacock in the US so not sure if that is the reason for a delay or if there is just no plan to include it at all.
It's pretty annoying. The amount of bleeping was ridiculous.Quote:

Given what's come out about McMahon, Laurinaitis, etc. I'm amazed that anyone at WWE/TKO thought it would be a good idea to hire him.
Yep that's the plan, to keep people subscribed by adding stuff over a period.Quote:

Currently watching the overlap us interview with sheamus.
I seen something about netflix raising the prices in the USA, don't think it's a big increase but probably was expected since the WWE announced the deal.
Currently watching some invasion era, KOTR 2001.
DDP the stalker of the undertakers wife with a hot wife like Kimberly made no sense.
Kurt was a animal of an athlete, going 2 matches in the king of the ring which yeah they weren't all out matches, then the brutal match with Shane.
That match with Shane is one of my all time favourites.Quote:
