Because this is a backwards country and Rogers has entirely too much power.

How is having the Network as a channel a bad thing? I've never had a streaming issue lol

Do they have commercials on the WWE Network in Canada? If they do, is it like G4 was when all they could advertise were metal detectors, and other junk? I can’t imagine enough people are watching a WWE Network channel at this point to entice companies to buy ad space.

The actual channel is exactly the same as the live feed on the Network.

Oh, then forget it. Fans are lucky that it became a streaming service. If not, then the wrestling side of WWE would’ve been swallowed up by the films in an attempt to make the network profitable. It’s funny looking back at those movies, and remembering that they would take hot acts off TV to shoot a movie for two months.

I don't mind paying an extra 3 dollars a month for the convenience of having the Network as a regular channel. It's also great for older people and non techies, like my father, who wouldn't have such easy access to the Network otherwise.

They did have an animation block at one point in the 90’s. Captain N, Swamp Thing, and Super Mario World are shows that come to mind.

Ah, fair enough. I was into it with Saved by the Bell and those shows, so that's what I was thinking about.

What convenience? The appeal of the service is mainly the archival content these days.

But at least Rogers gets their cut.

If you had quoted my whole post you would see a convenience that clearly stated lol

Clearly stated? Someone who's that tech adverse can barely use the service because most of it is online.

But getting into that would mean I'd need to be the asshole and point and laugh at the notion that a person would need to be a "techie" to figure out how to use a streaming service in 2019. So I cut that part out. Maybe the older people in my life are different, but I explain things once or twice and they catch on. And I'm certainly no "techie."

I clearly stated that based on my own personal experience, having the Network as a channel is a convenience that I don't mind paying a few dollars extra. I also stated earlier that having it as a channel avoids buffering issues. And I think you still bitching about my opinion that having the Network as a channel does kinda sorta make you an asshole lol. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday, pal.

It’s Canada, 90% of it is rural. So understand the need to have a over the air channel, over a streaming service requires a stable connection.

I have no need for cable company talking points, you paid shill!

Speaking of NXT and kids shows, does NXT Kids still exist? Is that a thing?

The just did the pilot and then forgot about it because that’s what happens with their good ideas

Can you imagine how better it would be if we lived in a world where all of the modern guys who idolize HBK idolized Bret Hart instead? I can and it hurts.

I imagine a world where everyone loves Keiji Mutoh like they do Shawn Michaels, and it’s a wonderful utopia.
