that's what i would assume too

do you use a device to stream the wwe network? i have the old roku and it's not an option on there...i know i can just watch on my laptop, but i'd like to post and watch at the same time
I've had 3 free months with 3 different emails, so I dunno if that's an easy option. Maybe I used 3 different payment details as well, but I can't remember
yeah i thought about doing that too...a few months ago i was really considering cancelling cable and picking up the network, but at that time i thought i could watch raw/smackdown as they aired live, and i thought they had more older programs i.e. all old nitro's, thunders, ppv's etc...) in their catalogue....i just got my car paid off and my job situation in order so i decided to keep cable, and since i also have netflix and amazon prime adding the wwe network is just too much tv at this point
They've added a lot of the old stuff in the last few months. Most of the Nitros are in there now(I think everything up until mid 1999, and anything after that period was barely watchable anyway,) all the WCW PPVs are in there, a lot of the old WCW show from the late 80s/early 90s were added, and a bunch of stuff from 80s territories.

I watched Money in the Bank 2011 last night to familiarize myself with CM Punk more

That was such a good match, one of the best in WWE history.

I missed out on most of it too, but I imagine that while he was awesome it was probably frustrating watching them misuse him.

one stat i recall that sums up how they handled punk: cm punk was their champion for 450 days or something close - basically unheard of in this era - and main evented 5 of the 17 ppvs that occurred during that time. a punk v. bryan match was even part of the undercard of a ppv headlined by cena/john laurinaitis.

Punk's work with Jeff Hardy is what brought me back to wrestling.

I think his Mania match with the Undertaker is really underrated, Taker's best match with someone other than HBK.

Punk brought me back in with his stuff in late 2011; I missed the pipe bomb/leaving the company stuff (but was able to catch up with it later). He just had such a magnetic presence and was a great worker. His exit was one reason I don't watch the product much lately.

I'd love to get to see him work with the new crop of guys that came in from the indies after he left too.

HHH wasn't innocent in the Punk thing, but I think the decision to take the title out of the main event was probably Vince's.

oh, not a total surprise, but sting is retiring. sucks he has to go out like that. he busted his ass in that rollins match and i think there are worse ways his last match ever could have gone, but you know he didn't want it to end that way.

So I'm going to the house show in buffalo tonight. Wasn't planning on it, but a friend has an extra ticket. New Day isn't listed as a part of either show going on tonight, but I'm still going to wear my shirt

Ugh, you can already see how they are going to ruin New Day now that they are faces.

Nothing specific, just a general feeling. You've got Michael Cole yelling "Booty!" constantly during their matches now, I dunno, we will see.

i watched their promo with league of nations but admittedly didn't pay much attention to the match

did you hear where jim ross came out and said byron saxton has everything it takes to be a great commentator? he must be senile

That new guy that does the PBP on Smackdown is awesome, 10x better than Cole or anyone else they have.
