If the WWE wanted to eliminate piracy of their content, this was honestly the best way to do it. They're losing money from potential PPV revenue, I would assume. But even without the PPVs, I would have bought the Network because it's just too good of a deal to pass up on. It's a lot like Netflix or Steam. If you make it more convenient for me to just buy the products I wouldn't have a reason to pirate them. I've never had Dish or Satellite, so the only time I was able to order PPVs is when I went over to my friend's place, and it was still a really steep price to order them too, so I refrained from buying anything but really big shows. I don't really mind the 6-month commitment at all. I was planning on buying Wrestlemania anyway, and the entire 6-months of the WWE Network is the same price I would have ended up paying for Wrestlemania alone. Simply put, this deal is too good to pass up. I hope it does well for the WWE, because if it does they might start releasing more content, and more companies will start to follow suit.

Okay it looks like the free 7 day trial forces you to commit to the 6 months anyway. It's just 7 days free? Whatever I signed up anyway.

Acrolos posted:That's really smart. If you're being charged on a monthly basis but know you're required to commit to six months, you're much more likely to let it keep charging you after the commitment is over. I don't see the option to pay off all 6 months at once, if you select buy as gift it lets you pay up-front for a whole year, but there's no slider for just 6 months.

I'm watching Heatwave 2000 and they're censoring "poo poo". It's rated MA but I have no idea if it was filtered before or after since I never watched the original.

All profanity, including rear end, has been edited out. The Kat's breasts have been blurred out. None of this is completely uncensored. Getting a refund, suing for false advertising.

The profanity filtering on the ECW content is really jarring. It's ECW. They're showing chair shots to the head and extreme, graphic blood and violence. Censoring the word "rear end".

The live Network has been absolutely flawless, other than exposing to Michael Hayes. The VoD has been spotty but I won't hold it against them. If it's still doing this by the time my trial is over, I'll cancel.

What music were they playing in 1996 WCW that keeps getting replaced by this super cheesy generic production rock music? It keeps being put over NWO packages, the intro to PPVs, the lowering of the cage in War Games, ect. Was it the Nitro music? My memory is so hazy that I can't even remember what it could have been. e: I looked it up and apparently they actually used that song constantly, wow.

Would I be better off tracking down the originals if I want to binge on ECW? Harlem Heat in 1996 was still something. They still had the rich white slave owner gimmick and Sherri was always coke'd up.

Good lord, was Sensational Sherri as coked up in the WWF? She's absolutely tweaking out of her mind in WCW when paired up with Harlem Heat. The white dots work great for me in Streaming now. Using Chrome, having no issues anymore. Service works great, and it's excellent background noise.

triplexpac posted:Has anyone else noticed crowd sweetening in old stuff? I swear WWE tinkered with the sound in this Brother Love/Andre/Warrior promo they showed yesterday. The entire time Love talked to Andre, the crowd was doing this droning kind of "boo", then when Warrior came out it changed to this non-stop Smackdown-ish cheer. I never really paid attention to how good WCW's short-lived Women's division was. Madusa was probably the best American female wrestler at the time, and they brought in a lot of good names for their tournament. Then they dumped their title a year later and in 1999, along with the quality of the rest of WCW, they brought in a bunch of Nitro Girls and other useless talent that would make the current Divas look good. e: Cannot count the number of times that the WCW crowd starts USA chants in matches where there's a Japanese superstar and Rey Mysterio, who was always being billed as from Mexico. I guess they're all really huge fans of Nick Patrick and Mark Curtis.

If the WWE wants more filler for the Network, they should take every single advert for the WCW/ECW/WWE PPVs they've ever had and just stick them online. It'd be a great way to gain interest in random PPVs that are also on the network!
