Tromatagon Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 It's going to be such a downward spiral from a promotion I loved to one of the shittiest PPVs of all time. I don't think I'll make it all the way through. The music replacements will also bug the shit of me. I don't know if you guys have heard the fake New Jack song they use but it is so horrible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyLaw Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 They will be taking content down from time to time but I don't know if that means PPVs. I'd be a little surprised if they took any of the shows down for the first six months. I would guess there would be some pissed off people. Has this been said by anyone other than da Meltz?

The Man Known as Dan Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 So... anyone else really love the idea of organizing group watches? I mean, Xbox Live seems like a perfect way to have big parties to watch shows together, yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tromatagon Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 There's actually a function for that on the xbl Netflix but we haven't received word that will be an option with the WWE app which doesn't even really work on Xbox as advertised right now anyway. Like you're supposed to see all the shit the app has not just be able to watch a ppv you have ordered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodhelmet Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Yeah, if they are delivering 720p on all of these then that's a huge upgrade. Also, while you can find a lot of these shows on YouTube, most are taken down by the time you get to watch it or are in very low quality or take a while to load, etc.. This is a much cleaner way of going about it with far less hassle and much better picture quality. To me it's a no-brainer but if you are someone who already owns a lot of the shows I can see why it'd be a little less awesome. One thing more.. I am thrilled to have every live PPV for less than ten bucks a month but there are also things like the NXT live PPV that have me hyped. If they continue to do little things like that... I mean there's so much potential here. That's why I'm excited. I am in this boat. I usually buy at least one PPV a year (usually Mania) so just to have it for 6 months would be worth it. I have most of that old footage in VG-EX VQ so I am actually looking forward to the new content and seeing how the actual live feed plays out.

Cobra Commander Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 that free week of WWE Network has to be free in the sense that free credit reports are free... ya know, where they have your credit card info and they charge you if you don't cancel after the trial period? it can't be that easy where there'll be some degenerates who'll get 6 days of free WWE network and then just burn everything and upload it to YouTube, right?

I'd love to be mistaken, but I fear that ECW was one of those perfect for the time type things that just don't feel the same outside of the moment.

I've watched a bunch of it and the good stuff is still good. Heyman's ability to mask his roster's deficiencies (of which there many) and promote their strengths was incredible.

You need to watch Goodhelmet's ECW comp and get back to me. I hope I'm wrong, but ECW seems like it is the wrestling equivalent of grunge rock, and gangster rap. There is a lot of it that still rides, but there is a lot of it that makes you wonder why we spent so much time with something that was so little fun. I hope that it is more like Pearl Jam and Wu-Tang than Candlebox and MC Eiht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 My impression is that a lot of what ages the best in ECW isn't what people remember but FBI tags and what have you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cristobal Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I'd think that what's going to age best is what went on to bigger and better elsewhere. Cactus' run, the luchadores and the Benoit/Malenko/Guerrero trinity. Dreamer/Sandman/Raven? Not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valcourt Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I wonder if the next generation of Wrestler will grow up and go through the indy's with a mentality more WWE centric because of the network.From my experience a lot of workers on the Indies work a style like they loved (or try to work at least). Guys who i've worked with love old school, so they work super old school. Guys who like to watch head droppy, do the head droppy. So, in a generation where HOURS of footage is going to be available, with a large portion of the WWE style, I wonder if the indies in the next 5-10 years will look different because of the influence of the WWE network? Just something I was thinking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how this will affect the rollout of the network there Sky Sports News@SkySportsNews9 hrs BREAKING NEWS: Sky Sports signs new 5-year deal from 2015 with WWE, including all events like Royal Rumble & Wrestlemania.

Kropotkin's Beard Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 There's nothing wrong with dumb music per se. Some of the time. I'm partial to Pantera's Walk. It can't all be guys doing weird time signature, sometimes you just need skinheads shouting at you to respect and walk. Or as I used to think the chorus went, "breathe, spit, walk" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
