I have an American address but spend a lot of time in Canada.

Has any statement been made about American customers who want to access the service outside the states? Alternatively, what would I need to do to spoof my location for the app/website/whatever to work if I'm accessing the service outside of the states like some people do for netflix?

Well, I'll be a guinea pig for international people who have a US address to use I guess, because gently caress it it's just $60 and I can watch stuff while I'm in America too

I didn't see it mentioned in here, but in the latest Wrestling Observer, its mentioned that the 2014 Elimination Chamber ppv won't be included on the day of launch. The earliest it can go up on the network will be March 25th. Just a heads up for the few people that were talking about not ordering it and then just watching it the next day when the network launches.

Just pay for the network and stream it guilt free since you've paid for it already.

I'm kind of looking forward to spending money on this thing in a couple of days, if just to watch the entire run of ECW shows & PPVs in their entirety just to watch a group of drug addicts swinging metal buckets and pails and tubs and scuttles at eachother under the direction of a crazy person who spent the better part of a decade lying about money to his employees, and also to verify that said group of bucket swinging lunatics were more entertaining than highly trained and meticulously criticized athletes who can't be bothered to go on a crack binge like a proper Wrestling Superstar.

I am also planning on flushing a nickle down the toilet every time New Jack shows up, just so he gets the royalties from my viewership without having the money filtered through the WWE first.

My post was mostly in response to people asking about ECW Hardcore TV on the Network. If you're buying the network expecting it, I would wait a bit.

According to Joey Styles, they'll be on the network on day 1

We'll figure out what's on the network in 7 hours. If it's almost entirely PPV and DVD releases, PSP is going to have a mixed reaction. While that's by far the most demanded stuff, it's also the most common and a lot of the people who would care about online video archives have already seen it recently.

I really hope Joey means a ton of Hardcore TV episodes and they won't just be "airing" on the stream, because ECW PPV is severely limited. It's only 6 shows a year, none before April 1997.

It would be hilarious if the best thing WWE could think of to kick off the live-streaming part of the network is an 8 hour marathon of dead people getting concussions and violence against women.

In the ghetto
Get tough on the streets
Get tough with a gang
Watch your back
It's a hardcore thang

In the ghetto
There's no surprise
When a man dies
And nobody cries

In the underground
You better look around
And use your eyes

In the ghetto
In the ghetto
In the ghetto
In the ghetto

This is total poo poo so far. I understand there's going to be traffic problems, but the setup is total poo poo. Can't search whatsoever on the PS4 app, though the search function is present in the PS3 app. But searching for something like Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Bret Hart brings up no results. What? I thought this thing had search metadata and I saw an earlier post that you're supposedly able to skip segment by segment through shows but I see nowhere to do that on wwe.com and pressing L1/R1 in the PS4 app doesn't work at all. Am I missing something, or is all the search stuff not working because of traffic?

The live stream is really screwed for me at this point and keeps buffering and freezing and chopping and repeating. Old PPVs stream just fine, though.

This is a cool product and I hope it's up and running completely for tonight's RAW

Yeah just worked for me too!

I signed up in Canada, FYI. Seems to be working fine with an extension I use called "Media Hint". Loaded up Wrestlemania 17 just fine.

I have a proper VPN at home, but at work I just use the Chrome extension.

I've been using Hola with the region set to USA. On Demand loads great, streaming buffers lots. I seem to be the only person with this problem, though, so I'm trying different extensions and stuff. Media Hint gives a "Media Not Found" error for the livestream.

What VPN stuff has been working well for this, so far?

Watching old promos makes me kind of thankful for writing teams.

I wonder if any international people could post how things are going for them right now. It seems like you need a VPN to get the live stream working if you're outside the US, or at least that's my experience:


- With just something like Media Hint or Hola, I can only see on demand stuff. The livestream gives a "media not found" error.
- With a VPN service like Unblock US, I can see the livestream and on demand stuff.

I will also make a habit of this when it starts airing. Especially because I like the idea of seeing such new blood that will be the old blood many years from now.

Realistically, it'll be more like watching the Jung Dragons in WCW, in that Jimmy Yang will get hired/fired 3 times and the others will be unheard of for all of eternity.
