I'm considering it just for the archives.  The PPV's are a bonus, although I usually watch those a day late.  I always watch Raw a day late as well.

we are, but then again I have a 11 yr old that is really into it right now, so it is worth it for the ppv's alone ( we usually only get wrestlemania ). 
People ask me what I do in winter when there is no baseball.  I will tell you what I do. I stare out the window, and I wait for spring.

You know it's a 6 month committment, right?

Yep. So it's basically me paying for Wm and then getting a lot of extra content. I hope they show full episodes of Nitro

I second that.  Unfortunately, I have yet to see anything that would lead me to believe that.  But I could be wrong!  I hope I am.

They advertise a new program called Monday night wars, or at least I assume it's not a rehash of that ten year old DVD, so I'm hoping we get something from that.

So is this going to be like a WWE version of Netflix where you can search & watch any wrestling programs in their stable of titles?  If so, for only a 6 month commitment, that doesn't seem too bad.

Yes Jim. There will be a live channel and an archive.

No, it will be platformed for xbox and other means making it viewable on your tv without connecting it via pc, as well, just like nextflix.

PC, phone, XBox, PS 3 &4, Roku, and any internet ready TVs. I bought me a Roku just for this. Don't know how I lived this long without one. Next to the DVR, Roku is the best advancement to TV watching in 20 years.

Along with original content.  They shot a legends house reality thing a while back.  Piper, Duggan, Pat Patterson, were there.  It would've been wild had it been done a couple decades ago.

What they should do is legends house with, say, Sheik, Hogan, Warrior, Cornette, Brian Blair, New Jack, and so forth.

I'm getting it.  Every past ppv from WWE/WWF, WCW, and ECW on launch day plus all upcoming ppv's.  Sign me up

Judging from the current performance of the network, I predict a complete cluster frick when Wrestlemania happens. WWE won't be the first to fail at Internet Pay Per Views though.

They've got a month and a  week or so to work out the kinks. I think they must have underestimated the demand. I think have had more traffic than the Obamacare site the last two days.

I haven't had any performance issues.  I had issues signing up, though.  The link I was using wasn't taking me to the sign up page.  It was just taking me to the videos, which wouldn't work unless I had subscribed.  I eventually found the link and got in.  Worked fine for me after that, although, I didn't browse videos much.  I just watched the live feed until Raw started and then watched the live feed after Raw.

UFC PPV online works great.  I don't see why WWE would be different.  After all, they have third parties carry the load and admin anyway.

Worked fine on my phone and our kindle fire.  Having problems on the xbox, they are having a app problem with the login there, but they will get it worked out.  The people that do the MLB stuff are doing this, and the mlb service is top flight.

Well, if the MLB people designed the WWE Network, it's horrible.  It's not pretty to look at at all.  At least it's functional.
