WWE Network

I can’t even tell you how freaking EXCITED I am for the upcoming WWE NETWORK!

As a longtime WWE fan I think this is a genius idea! I have been a WWE follower for probably almost 17 years now (yes .. i’m turning 27 in a week!). The WWE Attitude era was one point in WWE history that has yet to be topped. The company has tried, tried and tried again but everytime they fail to surpass just the overall feeling of that time period in sports entertainment history.

One big problem as a fan is that I really haven’t been able, or had the ability, to watch the Pay-Per-View events. Besides the fact that they are expensive i’ve never had a cable box! Now don’t get me wrong, I do have cable, but i’ve never had a box. I’m one of those people that still have an original TIVO box. Because of the Tivo we don’t have the ability to order PPV events.

Quite awhile back WWE introduced Pay-Per-View streaming on their website. I’ve watched quite a few over the years via that method. But again, who wants to spend 3 or 4 hours sitting at their computer watching the event. Not fun.. i’d rather sit by my TV and use my computer, lol.

Last year WWE introduced the WWE Mobile App. You could then order PPV events via that. The great thing there is that I could order the even on my iPad and then stream it to my TV via Apple TV. FINALLY – i had a solution. But again, the price. They run $40 – $60 depending on the individual event so I really just had to pick and choose what it was I wanted to order throughout the year.

I tended to always order WRESTLEMANIA and the ROYAL RUMBLE. Both are my absolute favorites. Other than that I honestly would just pick and choose what it was i wanted throughout the year.

Now – for only $10 a month you get ALL OF THIS. It’s available the same way systems like Netflix and Hulu are now. I’ll be able to watch on my phone, my computer and i’m sure directly on my TV via Tivo and Playstation. I guess this brings me to some concerns…

The first is the fact that WWE is already hitting many roadblocks. The creative team behind the scripting is just not all there, all the time. Now – not all of it is bad. It just gets old. It gets boring at times. And it sure is all is no attitude era. Either way – I am still excited and I can’t wait until it’s roll out at the end of the month. Nothing better than ALL WWE ALL THE TIME!

WWE’s Top 10 of 2013 .. SO FAR!

Random , WWE • Jul 6, 2013

I found this list of WWE’s Top 10 moments of 2013 (so far). I have to say that I pretty much agree with everything mentioned below. Lots of great events have happened this year (although nothing crazy .. this isn’t the ATTITUDE ERA anymore people). Thought this was something I would share!

#10 – Bruno Inducted Into The WWE Hall of Fame

Hell certainly froze over when WWE announced that Bruno Sammartino would be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. It was fitting for all that he accomplished and was deserved. Bruno sold out Madison Square Garden more times than anyone in the world. That is impressive in its own. What was more impressive was seeing him and Vince holding hands on the stage in front of a sold out crowd in that very building. Whether it was backstage hate, historical inaccuracies, or just a personal dislike, both guys swallowed their pride for the better of the WWE. Bruno Sammartino is the biggest superstar to enter the WWE Hall of Fame so far. Not many can top all that he has done over a long period of time.

WWE Wrestlemania 2013

WWE • Apr 7, 2013

Another WWE year has gone by and WRESTLEMANIA 2013 is upon us. As a long time WWE fan I have to be honest. I remember in the past the time from THE ROYAL RUMBLE to WRESTLEMANIA was always crazy. Story lines played throughout the year come into play in those few months and end at the big pay-per-view. Now, in the last few years, it seems as if they just randomly put some matches together. Where has THE ROCK been since last year’s WRESTLEMANIA. I know that he’s done stuff, he’s odviously the champion, but nothing has happened between him and John Cena since last years show.

I honestly just don’t get it. If these people want to headline Wrestlemania shouldn’t they wrestle all year?

Even after that mini-rant i’m still excited for the big show. TRIPLE H has been and always will be my favorite wrestler. I’m excited to see his match with Brock Lesnar but again, i’m still a bit bummed by the fact that there was really nothing leading up to this match. Did Triple H even wrestle at all since last year’s Wrestlemania? Oh well. I’m a big Stephanie McMahon too so i’m hoping that she will grace us with her presence!

I found The Undertaker Vs. CM Punk match to be interesting. It’s sad that Paul Bearer passed but the story line, in a creepy WWE sort of way, is interesting. It was a classic WWE way to create the rivalry. I loved it. Should be an interesting match. I hope that CM PUNK isn’t the one to break THE UNDERTAKERS record. It would just be weird. I’m just not a big CM PUNK FAN.

Are there any other matches on the roster??!! Just kidding. lol. There are plenty of more great matches on the roster but the top two are really the only two that i’m interested in. I’ve seen so many great matches over the years and Wrestlemania NEVER fails to disappoint. My favorite match of all time the MACMAHON IN EVERY CORNER match at WRESTLEMANIA 2000!  Tonight will be a great night!
