I take it this includes Ireland. I hope it will be on PS3/PS4 because I really don't want to connect up my 360 for this. It does. WWE consider Ireland part of the UK. Even under Ireland on the 'when is it available' thing on WWE.com it's always said 'WWE Network will be available in the UK on....'

If you only want to buy Rumble, WM and SS that's £51.85 which is less than what 12 months of Network subscriptions work out to. For the free month I'd not be surprised if upwards of 200,000 people signed up Do you think it will be that many? I saw it reported that there were 31,000 new subscribers to the WWE Network since its global launch in August "Of those 31,000 new subscribers, 28,000 of them came from overseas. Only 3,000 came from the United States" I think even with the incentive of a free month a figure in the region of 200,000 sounds a tad optimistic, that would be almost ten times the figure for the rest of the world combined since the global launch.

Raw regularly gets circa 150,000 people to watch Raw at 1am-4am, which is ridiculous if you think about it and whilst many of them are DVR recordings most actually view it live. I think everyone who stays up to watch Raw pass the 'dedication' test and you could perhaps guestimate a 70% interest. Plus you've the other fans who are happy to wait for repeats and watch the lesser shows, maybe school children who'll pester their parents to get it and then add in casual fans who'll get it just because it's free. What it'll be AFTER the free trial is anyone's guess but 70% of the 150,000 might not be too far off. Also I think they'll promote it far more aggressively specifically for the UK audience than they have done for anyone thus far outside the US. What with the touring next week and everything I expect a media blitz of wrestlers going on every talkshow that'll have them shilling the bejesus out of it.

I'd love it if we could get something like that, it would really put the US network figures to shame considering they get 700,000 Network subscriptions from a pool of around 5 million weekly tv viewers.

I am guessing RAW on Monday will be filled with Network plugging.

They still list the Survivor Series as being "live only on Sky Box Office".
Maybe we'll only be able to access the replays?

For less than seven quid even if I only watched the PPVs this would be more than worth it. This is f***ing brilliant. So glad I booked the days after the Rumble and Mania off so I can watch them live.

I imagine it will be (for my benefit too!). Perhaps Sony haven't got back to them with a date they can add it on to their Store for download, so having learnt their lesson with the October 1st launch date, they aren't announcing definite dates til they are 100% certain.

As long as it's on PSN on 12th or 19th November (roughly when everything else gets the App) then I'm fine. If I am stuck having to lug my laptop around to connect it to a TV to watch it when everyone else can see it on TV properly, I'll be annoyed. Especially since Sony PS4 is destroying Xbox 1 pretty much everywhere. Seems odd to cut the larger fan base.

I'm most looking forward to starting my Clash of Champions marathon. I've got the Best Of compilation DVD they released a few years ago so to have all the episodes will be really cool
