Listen here, funnyman!
What WWE was originally going for with Ryback was that he was supposed to be a pseudo-cyborg that just decimated people in matches and thought like a machine in very exact terms.

But I like the O'Doyle description better.

Yes hello it is I Kurt's Secret Son


So I am watching SuperBrawl 3 from 1993 for the first time because Vader and Sting are cool and I love that the first match is a tag bout between the team of Steve Austin and Bryan Pillman (uh huh ho hum) facing Eric Watts and Marcus Bagwell (ROOKIE OF THE YEAR THESE GUYS ARE GOING PLACES!) Hindsight and all that.

It's effectively canon. He tweeted out once about it, although it got deleted when he started doing his tweet-delete-repeat routine.

Just some quick questions because the WWE website itself is lovely to navigate. Thanks in advance everyone!

I checked the first page of the thread and didn't see an answer: when do Raw and Smackdown replays become available? Being able to watch the latest Raws when I want to would be a godsend.

Another thing: I'm considering splitting the network with my housemates, does the network still allow only 2 logins at a time? I imagine that means all four of us wouldn't be able to access the network from the same household at the same time, then? What happens when a third logon attempt happens?

Right now it seems to be close to about a month or so delay between broadcast and upload.

You could try something like http://watchwrestling.ch/home/watch-wwe-raw-42814/ , although it's not official that's how I watch Raw if I missed an ep. They actually post segments as they air I think, so you could watch the whole episode pretty soon after it wraps up if you needed to.

Okay, thanks. I wasn't sure how kosher streams and things were. I might still end up going with the Network, as access to all the PPVs and past shows is pretty tempting, just a shame I can't access the main shows in an official way just after they've happened :( NXT replays are still on the Network quickly, right?

Oh yeah, definitely still get the Network, it's a great value. It's just not where you go to watch Raw or Smackdown.

I think the Network is the primary way to watch NXT really, unless you live in Canada or Europe. I may be wrong on that though.

Yup, that's how I watch it too, though I think if you watch it during the broadcast (they post short 5-10 minute segments to Dailymotion) you can sometimes miss the odd promo coming out of the commercial, like the Bo Dallas stuff.

They're also posted to Hulu the day after airing, though Raw is cut some for time and the cuts don't always make sense.

Nope. The only alternate way besides singing up at WWE.com is through Apple TV.

Also, The Network is now available on Xbox One.

Yep. Apple TV has the option to signup through them for the full $60 price at once, but they will take 30% if you do it that way. AFAIK no other device offers this option.

They are probably going to start adding them the same time Monday Night War starts, and do one a week or whatever along with one Raw a week along side that show. That's the current theory anyway.

Remember: if the balloon pops, the noise makes the angels cry.
I haven't watched wrestling consistently since about the point Benoit et al left WCW for WWE, and I've recently started again and purchased the network. I've kept track of what has happened in the vaguest sense, but I know I've missed a lot of good stuff. For comparisons sake, I've never seen a CM Punk match and I've maybe seen three Cena matches ever. The amount of material on the Network is a lot to sift through - I've been watching the Legends roundtables and some old PPVs. What are some good things I can watch on the network to try to catch myself up?

CM Punk vs John Cena - Money in the Bank 2011 is a good place to start. Main event of that PPV: http://network.wwe.com/video/v31359911
CM Punk vs John Cena on Raw from last year was also a great match. Main event of this Raw: http://network.wwe.com/video/v31328437

Watch pretty much the entirety of Summerslam 2013: http://network.wwe.com/video/v31280129 It featured two spectacular matches that are two very different styles, plus Christian/Del Rio is pretty good on its own.

I'm missing a lot, but watch those and this year's Mania and you've got a pretty good sense of what's up these days.

I was sharing with a friend. Only two of us were using the network, him on PS3 and me on Roku. Our account got closed and I had to buy him another one since I was the one who talked him into sharing. I guess I paid $60 to watch Wrestlemania after all.

3 people in my house watched Wrestlemania on 2 computers and an XBox simultaneously. Keep it in the house and you shouldn't have an issue.

I am not the only person who is annoyed at the lack of territorial content on the Network. There's a lot of bitter old fucks who expected more. I still think the Network is worth it for the PPVs and NXT specials but I do think it's nuts they are being stingier on territorial stuff than they were on Classics on Demand.
