I haven't watched any of the live Main Event shows, nor do I watch much live stream at all, but for those that have - is the live experience on the Network up to par? Do you think it will be able to handle the influx of viewers on the Network? It's pretty much a do-or-die scenario with how well the Network handles the WM broadcast. Thoughts?

I haven't had any problems with the stream... (actual live stuff or whatever htey have airing) but Wrestlemania is a whole different beast from what they've streamed so far.

It'll probably lag like crazy in the beginning, but I'm sure they'll have all hands on deck to fix anything. Either that or we'll all be watching the next day on VOD.

It's going to be a massive fail, I'm sure of it.

Would it really be that different from them what they've been doing with their online PPV streams?
Cause they've been doing that for years.

Personally, I never had a problem with the streams.
But again that doesn't mean it didn't happen.

I bet it will glitch but nothing like ArRival.
Also if it does, they aren't refunding shit. They don't care. Wrestling fans gets the scraps and deal with it.

The question isn't just will the Network be ready for Mania, but will ALL viewing forms of The Network be ready for Mania? I STILL get dropped and lagged programming on 360, which I was planning on using to stream Mania to my big TV.

If they can learn from what happened to ROH then they should be fine, I have had no problems the only lag I get is when my mom is on the other computer playing games or my sisters boyfriend is playing WOW

I'll believe it will be glitch free (or at least only having minor issues) when I see it. This isn't me guessing based on how the live stream has done because it has been great for the most part, just there has been nothing on the Network since ArRival that has drawn significant traffic and ArRival won't touch the numbers Mania will. I just don't see this going well for WWE, either WWE.com will crash or MLBAM will explode under the weight of the traffic. I want and hope to be wrong but like I said, I'll believe it when I see it.

I see the Hall of Fame ceremony as a dress rehearsal for WWE Network. It's a big part of 'Mania weekend and WWE's last chance to see how the servers hold up under duress. I really want to hear what everyone's experience was like the Monday after the show. My biggest concern will be the power going out at the Superdome.

I'm sure it will be somewhat glitchy. But since this is Wrestlemania, I don't want to watch any glitches. I'm getting it through my cable provider in case there is a catastrophic failure of the network. If I hear good things about it, I'll get it for future PPVs

Would expect a lot of angry people after Mania I know. Imagine how angry Daniel Bryan fans will be when they don't even get to watch their hero lose to Triple H because the Network decided to shit the bed.

I expect it won't be perfect for me. I haven't had many issues lately, but sometimes it still glitches and crashes. With on-demand content it's not a big deal but with a livestream that's a different story. I missed the NXT Arrival main event and I sure would hate that to happen at Mania. I'm expecting to miss a few seconds or minutes here or there during the broadcast, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I don't have any extended outages or crashes during key moments. I also expect many people will have issues far worse than me and there's going to be a lot of griping about that.

Given it crashed during Main Event this week, I guarantee it's going to happen during Mania and most likely during the Hall of Fame as well. If I were to guess, when it does fail it'll probably be at around 7:15 or so, since not as many people will be watching the preshow as the event itself and there'll probably be some people starting it up late.

At the very least, I expect Daniel Bryan vs. HHH to be the match where the problems really start.
