Just for the sake of conversation, what kinds of marathons or strategies have you had on the network?
My initial plan was to watch all of the ECW PPVs in order before I realized that I'm just not that into ECW anymore. I jumped around on WWE PPVs for a while, watching as many of the 4/5 star matches that were recommended to me as possible. I'm having a bit of insomnia recently so tonight I started watching PPVs from 2013 to present in order. I don't want to go too far back but I kind of want to relive the build-up of Daniel Bryan. I think the whole build to screwing him over and tearing him down so he can rise at Wrestlemania is some of the best storytelling WWE has done in a LONG time. Plus there's Shield matches, etc etc.

I watched every WCW PPV. I skipped to the end of a lot of matches I wasn't interested in. Been trying to get into the ECW shows but just not feeling them. I saw most of the WWE stuff when it first aired and already rewatched the stuff I've wanted. I've kinda run out of stuff to watch on the Network already.

I am also going through all WCW PPVs weirdly enough. I am a little bit behind due to schoolwork and the fact that I am just not used to the style of wrestling present in the NWA in the early 1980s. Some of these early Starrcade matches are hard to get through.

I put together an efficient "who's awesome in WWE right now" set of matches for my girlfriend and for a friend who hasn't watched in a while:
1. The Shield vs. Ryback and Team Hell No (TLC 2012) 2. CM Punk vs. Brock Lesnar (Summerslam 2013) 3. Sami Zayn vs. Cesaro (This Is NXT) 4. Rollins & Reigns vs. the Brotherhood (Battleground 2013) 5. Bray Wyatt vs. Daniel Bryan (Royal Rumble 2014) 6. The Shield vs. the Wyatt Family (Elimination Chamber 2014) 7. Sami Zayn vs. Cesaro (NXT Arrival) 8. Daniel Bryan vs. Triple H (Wrestlemania XXX) 9. John Cena vs. Bray Wyatt (Wrestlemania XXX) 10. Bad News Barrett vs. Big E (Extreme Rules 2014) 11. The Shield vs. Evolution (Extreme Rules 2014)
The list can be trimmed or modified according to the preferences of the person I am watching with.

Been going through all the PPVs in chronological order starting from Starrcade 1983. I've been doing this since about late March. Sometimes I plough through a couple in a day and then other times I take a week break from them. At the moment I'm about to start Royal Rumble 1990.
It's really fascinating watching the production values become of a more higher quality, particularly on the NWA's side. They weren't as on top of everything like the WWF was (and continues to be) but they did a great job of making everything seem like a big deal.

Same style here- I can power through more, so I'm presently at Survivor Series 1996.

Currently watching RAW from the beginning and watching the corresponding PPVs they are building up to.
Finished Summerslam 1993 a few days ago and now continuing with the September 1993 RAWs.

I'm doing the same. I've included the WCW PPVs to the chronological viewing. I'm going to do the same with Clash of the Champions now that they are up. I'm completely done with 1993. I hope they have the Nitros up by the time I get to that time period.

I started from the beginning with WCW PPVs. I am on SuperBrawl '97 Damn IDK how you made it that far already! I've been trying to watch all the WCW PPVs in order since a year or so before the WWE Network came out (I already had them), but I don't think I've even made it out of the 1980s yet.

I am watching everything randomly as far as PPV goes. That way I don't get tired of any style, federation or wrestlers. Here are my last few:
Survivor Series 2002 Cyber Sunday 2006 Starcade 83 Vengeance 2011 Summer Sslam 92 1995 World War III

My plan is to watch all the PPVs (all 3 promotions) and Clash of the Champions in order. I'm on the third Clash of 1989 now but was ready for Halloween Havoc '90 before they put the Clashes up. Been slow going as I've been busy with other things.

I've been watching every Raw in order, and the PPV's when appropriate, as well as watching ECW Hardcore TV in order. Up to date on what's released for Raw, but only at November 1994 for ECW

The wife and I watched a "gimmick match debut " marathon - the first appearance of a gimmick match on PPV. There were roughly 90 shows in all. There were some real hidden gems in there, such as Sting and Flair vs. Funk and Muta in the Thunderdome (Halloween Havoc 89), Owen vs. Ken Shamrock in a "Dungeon match" (Fully Loaded) and Lance Storm's Penalty Box match from Sin. But by and large... Yikes. There's a reason why the bulk of those matches stayed buried.
We're currently going through the Clash of the Champions in order.

I've just been watching all my favorite matches and moments chronologically regardless of promotion. Most of it is from ppvs that are on the Network, but there's some from Raws and Nitros that I had to watch on YouTube. Right now I'm up to King Of The Ring 2001.
I was working my way through faster, but I have become a Star Trek fan, so now the time I was spending on it is being divided to also include Trek.

Started doing all the WCW PPVs starting in about 91, and am in 93 right now. But I took a break from that to watch all the awesome World Class shows. I plan on doing the old Raws and maybe all WWF PPVs at some point too.

I've been watching everything on the Network in order. Started with Starrcade 83, but with stuff added, I've gone back a little. Currently at the beginning of '83 in WCCW.
