We're pretty negative about WWE in general and the Network specifically, so how about we talk about what we love about the Network?
Here's a few of mine:
1. Even if I was just getting PPVs on Sky Sports/Box Office, the Network would still be cheaper and worth it
2. I can finally watch NXT
3. Some of the old Classics on Demand stuff like Legends of Wrestling freely available to watch

It's because of the Network that we no longer have to put up with blurry logos or "the WW(mute) champion" in historical footage. PWInsider said that its creation was a big reason why WWE worked out a deal with the WWF.
NXT, of course.
The Network lets me watch stuff that I've always wanted to see but never had access to. Full episodes of Saturday Night's Main Event, the early Clashes, complete PPVs from before I got into wrestling, and so on.

I can watch the PPVs airing live as they happen...provided I can remember when it's on. (When your PPV budget becomes just WrestleMania and nothing else, other PPVs just pass you by.) And I don't feel bad about turning in at 9pm when there's still an hour of the show to go.
Past stuff, I can recall a lot of moments when they originally happened and whisk myself away to that simple time.

Yes, its a point that has been beaten into the ground but that sort of price for getting to see a PPV each month is an insane steal. If you would have told me 5-10 years ago that I could watch Wrestlemania live for only $10, I would not have ever believed it.

There's just a ton of great content. If there's a night I can't sleep then I can just flip on the network and have something to watch. I wish I had gotten it sooner.

I watch it every night before bed. For some reason it puts me to sleep, not in a bad way like its boring. Its fun to do a mini marathon for a few weeks or different ppvs or clashes or nitros |

I don't understand why there is any negativity against the Network this is a wrestling fans wet dream, if you don't like the modern era there is plenty of other content to watch and content from various promotions, and its a steal for PPVs there is great original content (current and upcoming) its an awesome concept that WWE created and besides UFC no other sports organization can claim they have a network to such a great vault of older content

I watch it every night before bed. For some reason it puts me to sleep, not in a bad way like its boring. Me too! Especially a show from the 90s--I put it on and bam, I'm out like a light. Seeing those bright, colorful characters again and hearing Vince McMahon on commentary is like a warm blanket of nostalgia. Speaking of classic shows, I like that WWE makes a real effort to present them as close to the originals as possible. Now sure, sometimes music has to be changed because of licensing issues. And sometimes WWE will replace music for no reason whatsoever; see SummerSlam '91 and '93, for example. But compared to Classics on Demand, the Network is a vast improvement in airing shows as fans remember them. Themes that were edited back then are now restored. |

Growing up as a WCW kid, it's neat to go back and watch stuff I kind of hazily remember, and get the proper context for it.

I'm framing this negatively but it is a good thing.
There is so much on it that it makes me angry. I just can't watch it fast enough.
I've watched every ECW ppv, all of WCW from 1996 on (ppv and Nitro) and all of the countdowns and most of NXT.
AND that's only a dent

I watch something on the Network every day. My favorite part is that it is on every device I own, so no matter where I go (I travel a lot for work), it's always with me.

Having every PPV at my disposal is something I've wanted since I started watching when I was 5. The thing is literally a dream come true for me.

I'm not embellishing anything here, the network was so good I had to unsubscribe because I was neglecting my university work too much. I cant wait until next month when I can resubscribe and overdose on its extensive content all summer.
Best part about the network was its ability to allow me to discover a lot of new names whose work I wasn't familiar with.

Price
NXT
PPVs (and NXT) being on-demand, in case I've got to work.
It's pretty awesome, even though I'm pretty much done watching the old stuff.

No longer having to deal with Sky Box Office
Nxt
The Docs, Countdowns etc.
I was a bit annoyed at the €12.99 price at first but once I actually got the network I realized it really is worth the price.
One thing I really like to do is, if OSW has a new show coming out, I'll watch the ppv first on the network before I watch their review.

Just seeing random stuff I never ever would have. I grew up a WWF kid, in England we had almost no access before Nitro started, Superbrawl 2 comes up, why not watch, and discovering an awesome show I'd never have seen in a million years.
