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


Yep, and you can even start a show that's live and select "start from beginning" if you tune in late.

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


So it's sounding like this might actually still be happening but with ICW and PROGRESS in place of TNA and ROH.

So I just got the network (Rogers in Canada), and I'd just like to express how disappointed I am with the content available online.

Was really looking forward to old Raw/Nitro episodes or more PPVs from the past, but the available content is incredibly thin. Brutal...

Yeah, literally every episode of Nitro is on the Network for anyone using the app in the US. I've heard horror stories about the Canadian version of the Network. It's basically a channel on their cable system from what I understand. I wouldn't pay for the Network if all I got was a channel that streamed 24/7. Most of what I watch on the network is on demand stuff.

I haven't gone searching for old RAWs or NITROs but every PPV is available online to me with Cogeco Cable. I have watched several old WWF,WCW and ECW PPVs

I realize what I'm about to say is a pretty dickish thing to say, but oh well.

A couple years ago, or maybe a little less than that, I was listening to the Cheap Heat podcast and one of the guests was Noelle Foley. And she joined them midway through and she arrived at the studio midway through the show and when she arrives you can hear Rosenberg spend at least 15-20 seconds trying to explain to her how to open the door. Maybe the door is really complicated, but I think that moment gave me a glimpse into who Noelle Foley is.

I've seen about five to ten minutes total of Holy Foley (mostly when it came on after an event I was watching and I didn't change to a different app right away because I was doing something else) and I think it's abundantly clear that she is dumb as sh*t.

She seems like a 7 year old kid trapped in a 23 year old's body.

The version you actually get on your cable box sucks. But if you have a tablet or phone, you can log in to the app on mobile and get full access to old content that isn't available on the version you get on your cable box.

I usually pull it up on my iPad and then airplay to the AppleTV.

They just added every episode of Smackdown for 2008 and 2009.

The episode of Bring It To The Table that aired last night was really good. Much better than the premiere episode, IMO. You can tell it's still a scripted show but it's still got enough of a shoot vibe to it to make it entertaining.

Really good is probably an overstatement IMO, but definitely a big upgrade over the premiere. JBL was slightly less obnoxious but the main thing was Corey Graves was a 1000% percent improvement on Heyman's fake edginess. There were instances where they were clearly giving the company line (the Goldberg part), but overall it was a marked improvement

Camp WWE isn't very good but Vince McMahon is incredible in it. He should have been doing cartoon VOs for the last 20 years.

More on Camp WWE: It's an odd show. There's no reason why an adult should find it funny. It has the delivery of a smart kids show, but it's clearly not written for kids. Does anyone here like it?

I'm going to continue watching it for Vince doing Bruce Prichard's impression of him.

Hardy's WWE 24 was incredible, probably the best WWE 24 yet in my opinion

Gave up drinking 4 years ago and watching stuff like this hammers home how glad I am about it. That sh*t is a slippery slope and can ruin lives quick.
