It's early in his career but I think Corey Graves is doing really well commentating in NXT so far.

My biggest beef with the current a team is that they completely ignore matches for long stretches of time. The whole point of the announcers is to get the match and the talents over, not to crack jokes about each other.

I don't disagree with that. Cole doesn't even know the name to a lot of the moves. I don't mind JBL and King being like that but Cole does ignore what is going on in the ring a lot. When Foley won his first title he mentioned that he wish JR would have made the call and not Cole. Now Foley doesn't say anything bad about anybody. That tells you all you need to know about Cole.

Network just officially went live here in the UK. Debating whether to get it for the Rumble, when I'd be watching the day after anyway.

Definitely going to get it for 'Mania, watch it live, get the Monday off work. Whoop!

i dont watch it every week, but i think the network is worth it just for NXT, but of course all the PPVs for just a bit more then i Paid for the Rumble and Mania last year is nice also.

I don't follow the current product, but I still signed up for the Network for all the old PPVs.

Yea, not to sound like a shill for WWE, but you can't go wrong with the network.

If you are a casual fan, an old school fan or a wrestling junkie like myself the network is worth it. I'd pay $20 probably per month but that is just me. Only complaint is I wish they had more old episodes of Raw and Smackdown but they are coming little by little. I'd grade the network at an A- or B+. It's really a great deal. All of the live & old PPVs unedited, NXT (which is badass right now) and documentaries so it's worth it for me. I get my moneys worth and then some.

Side note I went to an indie wrestling show this weekend. Hardcore Holly was there. Fun time had. Sorry for my shitty cell phone camera.

My only beef is I want the Raws and Nitros from 1997.

Agreed 100% with that. 1997 is arguably the best year of wrestling ever top to bottom with WWF, WCW and ECW. I'd never leave the house. Well, maybe for work and stuff. RAW in 1997 was great. There is a pretty good 4 hour comp on you tube. The Owen v Davey Boy European title match was incredible.

I've had a lot of fun with the network over the past year; watched most of the PPVs live, binged on late '90s PPVs, scoured it for older matches that I vaguely remember from childhood, enjoyed a few documentaries. But I'm going to let my subscription lapse after the Rumble--partially because I'm ho-hum on the current product, and partially because I really don't have much time to sit down and watch wrestling right now. It's been real! :peace:

(Still going to download the PPVs the day after they air--gotta avoid spoilers, now, though!)

I'm definitely going to renew it when my subscription comes up. I've watched a shit ton of stuff on it, but there's still a ton I want to get to. I've also grown accustomed to seeing all the ppv's live now. As shitty as the current product is, I like seeing all the ppv's.

Pretty much me exactly.

NXT is awesome right now.

Yeah, it's the miles better than the main roster right now. I can't wait for Zayn/Owens.

If it is half as good as their matches in Ring of Honor it will be everything you want it to be and more.

You got that right, Sting is still my all time favorite, even though he might not be able to work a match like he did in the old

I think HHH will be able to carry him to something decent.
