They just added new collections, one of which is called the Hidden Gems collection. Here's the description...

"Journey deep into the archives for a potpourri of forgotten classics in a collection of Hidden Gems available only on WWE Network."

It has the Bret Hart vs. Terry Funk match in ECW (with Dennis Stamp as the ref) that was part of the Beyond The Mat documentary. A match from 2000 from Ultimate Pro Wrestling were Regal faced a very young Samoa Joe. Also has a match that is apparently the "holy grail" for tape traders and the like, "The Last Battle of Atlanta" featuring Buzz Sawyer vs. Tommy Rich. This match has never been seen before, outside of the the folks who were there to witness it live. There was like a 2 year feud that led to this match, which ended up being basically the first Hell in a Cell match. There is also a Bret Hart vs. Steve Austin match from South Africa. It's from the very early stages of the Stone Cold moniker and Jim Ross and Owen Hart are doing the commentary.

WWE just put out a Table for 3 with Kane, Mark Henry and the Big Show. I love them all as people and I just think it's great. It's a shorter episode and definitely worth a watch

Just turned on the live stream of the Network and the Cena/Rock episode of Rivalries was playing. Looking back on that rivalry with fresh eyes, it was pretty damn good, especially the first year leading up to Mania 28 (even though people got butthurt about the whole "once in a lifetime" thing).

Yep. I just wish that it led to a pretty big payoff. I thought the ending to the match at Mania 29 was absolutely awful. That would've been the perfect moment to turn Cena heel, I thought.

This is going to be the new WWE Network soon, according to Dave Meltzer

ROH & TNA for just $15 and Hall of Fame voting??

Anyone know how to get the WWE Network App to work in Canada?

I downloaded it, and it works, but I can't login.

Watching the Table for 3 episode with Daniel Bryan, Dolph and Ryback.... again. I've seen this episode probably 5 times now and it cracks me up every time. If you have the network, go watch it. It's fantastic, no matter if already seen it or not.

hahaha I just watched it too. The way Daniel Bryan bullies Ryback is great. The best part is when he started the rumor that when Brock Lesnar came back, Ryback took a Cialis to impress Brock and show him how big he is.

I would pay $15 if they added recently Raw & Smackdown episodes a day or two after they aired.

That is a USA network problem since they air reruns on another one of their networks a day after. ROH, Evolve, TNA and PWG would be enough for me to pay $15.

There is a strong rumor that ICW and PROGRESS may have signed some sort of deals to be aired on the WWE Network.

The cable portion of the wwe network needs to be updated constantly. I work in television and uploading content to the web/app/on demand is apart of my job. Often times, we will stream live content right to the web and it gets uploaded at the same time. I can't for the life of me figure out why wwe network, while good, is still so bad. They should be uploading all raw's and smackdowns within 24 hours. Ditto for ppv's and that goes for all their web content. There is zero reason to not have that stuff uploaded to the on demand. Especially shows like total divas, and all their archived footage from all their ppv's in history.

They can't upload RAW, Smackdown or Total Divas for I think a minimum of 30 days due to contractual obligations with the networks that air those shows (USA and E!).

And to that point the Network exclusive shows, PPV's, NXT, Talking Smack, etc. etc. are typically in the on-demand section within a couple minutes of finishing airing
