Real ? ...it sounds very very interesting to me, and this is coming from a ? that was a die hard wrestling fan and then I stopped watching around 04 and have recently got back into it right after the Miz won the money in the bank.......I might be gettin this when it starts...here's the memo thing that they sent out explaining what it's all about.



Imagine a 24-hour cable network that was run by The WWE. It featured a mix of WWE-made programs, including new shows, repeats of Raw and SmackDown from USA and Syfy and "classic" or "historical" programs featuring shows from different promotions like classic WWE footage, WCW, ECW, NWA, AWA, etc. from years past.
It would have two new weekly WWE live in-ring shows (wrestling), but not SmackDown or Raw.

It would have a daily live in-studio viewer interactive show similar to SportsCenter.

Additionally, this network would include WWE's "classic big 4" pay-per-view events including WrestleMania, SummerSlam, Survivor Series and Royal Rumble to the lineup at no additional cost. Rather than having to pay for them, they would now be specials with the same match quality you're used to seeing on pay-per-view for no additional cost. These 4 events would only be available on The WWE Network.

In addition to The WWE Network, you would receive approximately 30 additional channels including NFL Network, NBA TV, Biography Channel, Fox Business Network and Fuel TV.

How interested would you be in upgrading your service for an additional $7-$12 per month to a tier which would include the WWE Network described above?"

    yea this definitely works for me ? with Time Warner I don't get NFL network (I guess I gotta pay extra for it) so if I can get this wwe ? and the NFL network to add on to already having NBAtv and MLB network thats cool with me. I'd really love to get like the CBS sports channel so I can get all them extra college games.

    What if you have that package already then? I'm paying the extra for it, why would I pay $7-$12 for just one WWE network when it comes as a package for that? It would have to be included, and it's not free, it's just added on to the package in which I'm already paying for.

    Right? ? is confusing.

    True..you can watch ESPN on that ? , but I ain't run to watch that ? on JTV when I can just change to the that channel.

    Especially when it's in HD...WWE Network in HD. I'm Sold

    I'd pay the money because i know I would be watching the ? all of the time.. The reports look decent and if they have a good network model then it would defiantly work

    If it's $10-15 a month then you cheap ? should get it. It'll be better if all the PPVs were available. The only problem with me is that I barely watch tv.

    I've had WWE Classics on Demand since it first came to Comcast in 06, I think. That cost $8 a month. They offer plenty of stuff you ain't gon find on Justin.tv I guarantee it. So as long as they keep the On Demand channel and this comes with the sports entertainment package for Comcast (which I already have) it's all good for me.

    You're half wrong. On justin.tv, you will usually only find whats shown this week and WWF "Attitude era" stuff from 97-02 Invasion. But the truth of the matter is there is more content online then they will ever be allowed to show on a WWE network. Chris Benoit for one... secondly I can find all the shows I want ever from every WWF metal show to every Saturday Night Jakked, Metal, Velocity, Sunday night heat.. even superstars today that they don't show on tv or nxt season 5 that they only show online also... WWF Tuesday Night Titans, NWA/WCW b4 it became WCW in the early 90s , WCW Saturday night main event...

    True only the stuff from 07 and after is available in 720p, but I found alot of great DVD rips of late 90s and early 90s WWF ppvs at least and the other quality isn't bad at all. In addition to that, I have found many sets of singular matches such as all the matches from Austin in 2000, or every AJ Styles match from wcw / tna 2001-2003.or evey Brock Lesnar match from 2002-2004. or every HBK or Undertaker match. Every match in a feud. A real nWo dvd with all the major matches and events, that puts the WWE nWo dvd to shame, a real tribute to the macho man with every feud with every match and promo he ever had. Just some amazing ? .

    There are tens of thousands of people who already caught onto this. Jtv is already the napster of premium content anyhow. I mean if people want to live in the dark ages thats on you but the knowledge is out there. I guess people feel better about WWE taking money out their pockets. Don't get me wrong I still go to shows to support them but thats as far as it goes for me.

    *continues downloading WWF content to my external drive*

    p.s. xtremetorrents.. google it.

    I don't have a problem paying for good entertainment, I still buy movies and music even though I can get them for free. I check out the justin.tv lstuff and some of the stuff on youtube too. I even still have the online version of Classics on Demand. All those options work for me. I don't mess with torrents at all.
