All I saw of WCW TV was January 2000 until the end. You poor, tortured soul.

I signed up for the free trial. I didn't realize how cool it would be to sit on the computer doing work on one screen while watching Halloween Havoc 89 on the other. The main issue I have with the stream is the freezing. If I fast forward a match or segment I don't care for the stream starts to lag and freeze. My internet connection is fine for everything - netflix - else. This would be the make it or break it for me. If they can fix the streaming/fast forward issues and aim to be like netflix or better then I may consider subscribing.

This is one of those few times where they need to appeal to the hardcores and nerds. People who'd actually spend money on MORE WRESTLING.
The Mainstream fans that they need for tv, they ain't dropping more money for a network. WWE needs to start kissing the asses of all those IWC "nerds" and Butthurt WCW fans who left after 2001, and the ones watching RoH and TNA.

Yeah I just started the free trail today (wish I had known about it earlier) and there are some serious problems with this player and I'm actually discouraged from signing up if anything.

I would think it be dependent on what the PPVs Are They would need to be something Special Nostalgia PPVs like one night stand Could work Or gimmike PPVs True true. What if the wwe were to sign a bunch of indy feds ROH, Chikara, 5 Dollar Wrestling(wishful thinking) and maybe even japan companies and had their shows and ppvs network exclusive? I think I wrote this somewhere before but don't recall where. Is NXT network exclusive? FWIW the stream seems to be working better today.

I think NXT is exclusive on the network in America I doubt wwe would be willing to use those company's But I think it be great as a wrestling network and not just wwe But if those company's sign with wwe they may have to change the type of shows they are

It's so strange for me to see people having such issues with the Network. I've had it since launch day, and the only problems I've had were A.) Getting signed up in the first place on launch, and 2.) the stream screwing up during NXT ArRival. It's been smooth sailing ever since.
I should note that I use it on my laptop and PS4.

Same here works flawless on my Roku, 360, laptop and even on 3G on my phone. The people bitching about it not working has nothing to do with WWE it's on their end.

When it works fine on people's laptops and phones but then starts stuttering the f*** out on 360 or whatever, then its a problem with that app. If it doesn't work on anything, then it's a problem on their end.

It's a shame. I don't really watch the Network outside of the PPVs, but when I'm working on a story or gaming with friends, the Network's live stream is absolutely perfect background noise.

What I found funny about last night was the big push for the free preview, when if someone who thought about buying finished watching RAW, they'd only have got that Nitro programme, and then it would be cut off, and they'd be asked to pay.
I bet some thought "if I get this tonight, I'll get it free for a week, which means I'll get Battleground for free". Not how it works, sadly for them.

So I left the live stream running on my Xbox overnight. I just now got home from a baseball game and the stream is still playing. If it weren't for the fact that I was going to be out of state this weekend (staying with a relative that doesn't have internet, no less) I could theoretically get Battleground for free if they don't fix it. Where do I go to report this type of bug? I'm sure the last thing WWE needs right now are moochers abusing the system.
EDIT: As soon as I submitted this post, it shuts off. Apparently posting on FAN is the way to fix it. Instantly.

Not necessarily The wifi adapters that come inside new Xbox 360s are f***ing awful. The USB ones for the older models are even worse. Part of me wonders if this is why alot of the issues people are having with the xbox version. I mean when I use my Xbox for netflix in bed on my tv it is useless, constantly switching to the lower bitrate stream and back. When Im sat at my desk next to it (which the xbox is actually sat on) and watching on my PC Netflix works flawlessly.
