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.

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.

I think WWE will keep uploading old stuff onto their WWE vault YouTube channel.

[Tambo]

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.

[Tambo]

Would love to spend the day or two in the WWE video library room, vault channel has not long uploaded a HHH vs Tajiri title match from Japan, will give it a watch later.

[Tambo]

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).

[Onceinawhile]

Guys, this eddie guerrero seems like a bit of a cheat... he wins against test.

Next up kurt angle vs... never mind actually.

[SteveHFC]

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****.

Confirmed to be in Saudi. Feels like the European market will never get a big ppv now.

Raw was hugely disappointing. Punk/Rollins was good but it was a terrible show.

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 space

I think that was always going to be the case with TKO. The UFC octagons are covered in them.

It was probably one of the areas TKO could most influence on the wrestling side of the business. They would know SFA about the creative aspect of it so commercial stuff is probably where they saw scope to do something with WWE

I've been watching some of the older stuff on Netflix and one thing that struck me is how short a lot of the matches were.

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.

[Mon Dieu4]

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

[overdrive]

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?

[Pretty Boy]

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.

WWE Vault on Youtube keeps uploading stuff. Think the plan is to get more stuff added eventually.

I noticed at the end of Raw they listed the Exec Producers as Paul Levesque and Lee Fitting. I wasn't sure who Lee Fitting was so I googled him. He's Kevin Dunn's replacement so the guy that's being credited for the change in camera shots, etc. However, when googling him all these stories pop up about how it looked like he was let go from his previous job at ESPN for sexual misconduct. 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.

Vault is great, not been watching anything wrestling wise past few weeks, no surprises that raw sounded bad.

Currently watching the overlap us interview with sheamus.

[Tambo]

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.

[Tambo]

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.
