Unfortunately, Obamacare doesn't do anything to fix this particular case of unrestrained greed. Its probably cheaper for WWE to pay for medical care outright. Which is what they do in most cases, IIRC.

I got the email for another free trial as well, I was thinking it was because I actually responded to their survey questions asking me why I cancelled and specifically asked for something like a 48 hour trial to try it with the Xbox app working. e; maybe they are sending these offers out because subscribers are way down?

Watching the newest WM Rewind with Cena and I think they're treating Cena/Show as the main event of XX. Wasn't it the opener?

It was, for the US title, but remember who was in the main event. e: No one cares about Taker/Kane II, and I don't think they want to publicize a dead guy and a guy in TNA.

I don't think it's much to do with subscriber numbers, more that they know people canceled while they were having technical problems so they want people to have another chance to try it before the free trial ends this weekend.

Also there's millions of 360s out there and they don't want to potentially screw themselves out of that entire user base.

After they fixed the login issues the video playback was a mess. I hooked my PS3 up to my main TV just to watch the network. The app on PS3 has been pretty solid so far.

Only issues I've had are rare instances where it's down for a few minutes or so, plus sometimes I can't get video to play on my phone (but my phone's about 4 years old, I pretty badly need a new one). Hoping Wrestlemania goes off without a hitch.

They added another Legends of Wrestling on Patriotism and Sgt. Slaughter had a lot of cool stories I've never heard about before, including meeting Ronald Reagan in the White House and the president acting like a huge mark.

Watching ECW Hardcore TV. The wrestling itself isn't very good but there is something charming about it's production values. It looks like the use the exact same corner of the building for all their backstage segments. Also, how come no one ever mentioned that Dave Attell once worked as a interviewer for ECW?

Abrasive Obelisk posted:Elaboration on HHH and Orton? Triple H was supposed to headline WrestleMania 23 against Cena in a rematch from the previous year, but tore his quad and was out for months. They slid HBK into the slot instead. Randy hosed up a hotel room on a European tour and got de-pushed for a while as a result, and possibly suspended. There was a famous image on the forums at the time of Randy RKOing a TV which was tremendous.

TL posted:Triple H was supposed to headline WrestleMania 23 against Cena in a rematch from the previous year, but tore his quad and was out for months. They slid HBK into the slot instead. Yeah, to elaborate on Randy, I believe it was Raw in England, the planned matches had been Cena vs HBK and then Orton vs Edge to play into the Fatal Fourway at Backlash, now keep in mind Wresltemanias build was Rated RKO fought Michaels in a Triple Threat to determine the No.1 contender, and I believe Cena/Michaels took the tag titles from Rated RKO too. But again, Orton being a the massive fuckup he was, trashed his hotel room and the office got loving pissed and it's like "Okay, now we don't have an opponent for Edge" rather than come up with one they just told Cena and HBK to go for an hour. It was a really, REALLY good hour of raw, it was, in my opinion, better than their Wrestlemania match which was already good. Orton as punishment? I believe Cena ate the Super Kick at Backlash and pinned Orton by falling on his unconscious body. When they cut that promo that Orton has had issues inside the ring and outside the ring and keeps getting given second chances? that's all real. Orton is/was a MASSIVE gently caress up as a person, lotion/poop in handbag only scratches the surface. In the Triple H vs Cena rematch... well the first Triple H match had him basically bury Cena with the whole "You can't wrestle, the fans hate you, you suck" and Cena going "Yes, but I have guts!" which I think pretty much killed the fans who would cheer him cause he just gets shat upon by this mega-heel and goes "Yes, I suck, you are 100% correct" Compare to Cena and HBK, who put each other over really well, and... personally I feel they had some really fun segments together, had good tag matches together. Just a lot of chemistry.

Oh boy, WrestleMania is going to be the big test because I guarantee the vast majority of subscribers signed-up just for a $10 WrestleMania. I hope WWE is aware there is going to be a mass login for the show and if it crashes at any point it'll make ROH's GoFightLive fiasco from two years back look insignifigant. Already I'm getting weirdness where the show will suddenly skip back a few seconds before fixing itself. Let's hope.

The 360 app now has the ECW and WCW PPVs (in the Vault for some reason) but it still won't load older Wrestlemanias/Royal Rumbles/Summerslams/Survivor Series...es. So that's an issue.
