Crackle in India. Peacock in the States. Now this. You international WWE Network users enjoy it while it lasts. They'll keep selling the Network until it's gone as long as someone's buying.

Of course it did.  Any movies or shows labeled with "Touchstone Pictures," "Hollywood Pictures," or "Buena Vista" are all from Disney.

And The Muppet Show includes references, clear and otherwise, to Superman and Wonder Woman, for example.

One company blocking something for including its IPs is possible, mind you. (see also: one of the "banned" TMS eps being due to using elements from The Wizard Of Oz, the 1939 film). Otherwise...if anything, it seems like Disney blocks its OWN IPs more often...see what could and couldn't be done on the 20XX DuckTales, for example.

So this means we get both John Morrison's wrestling debut and his film debut (Russell Madness) on the same service.
