I think Cornette was a pretty big omission but the problem is that there's nobody on the list where you go "wtf? why is that person there?"

I guess I'd probably say Cornette > Mr Fuji but it's not like Fuji is undeserving of a spot.

Looking forward to that

Something I realized on the network: World War 3 matches kinda blew, didn't they? Tons of guys standing around doing nothing, no surprise entrances like the Rumble since everyone's in at the start, the tri-screen thing that made it so you can't concentrate on anything, etc.

Basically just too many dudes. Would be fun as hell in a video game though.

Fucking around on the WWE Network during it's free week. Shawn Vs. Austin at WM14 was a lot better than I remember it to be.

Quote:

 

With a few weeks to go until we get updated WWE Network numbers, it's starting to feel more and more like WWE botched the execution of the roll-out of the service.

On the content front, the problems are numerous, and it's beyond unclear if anyone has a clue what they're doing.

...

Which brings us to what IS in the on demand library. While there was disappointment with whatever happened to the home video content and the tiny amount of non-PPV content, it was clearly going to grow quickly. Several episodes of Raw were being added each week in chronological order (with "Best of" episodes dropping as well) as well as a steady stream of World Class, ECW, and "Old School" WWF house shows. Barring a single Old School update, none of the latter three shows have had "new episodes" on the stream or added to the on demand library since April. Why? Nobody knows. It's one thing to strategically roll out new batches of old shows like Clash of the Champions or Saturday Night's Main Event. But for shows that are already there to stop receiving updates after a steady stream for the first five or six weeks is puzzling. Binge viewers have been left hanging and the belief among some fans that WWE has the shows ready to go (edited and captioned) is not helping with their morale.

There's also an increasing number of fans angry that more content that aired on Classics on Demand and the WWE Classics website (since it's already digitized and has music edits done) isn't available. While it's not quite that simple (every show on WWE Network is closed captioned, and that takes time if they don't have the original captions for shows that aired with them), the perception is there.

I hope they don't increase the price on the Network because I love it. Just having the PPV's live whenever I want them is worth the price alone, but it's a great alternative when Netflix gets boring, too.
