Watching wrestling in this country is just so insanely expensive. Hoped I would at least be able to get something* at an affordable rate, but apparently that is just a pipe dream. *TNA does not count as something |

That's messed up, they are really adding content to quench my WCW thirst so whenever you get to access it you won't be disappointed.

Hypothesis from this site that it is an 'injunction': http://whatculture.com/wwe/wwe-netwo...yed-notice.php

Looks like the only solution is simple: WWE Network for England can only be the archives and documentary specials. No live PPV or anything live that is also covered by Sky. There probably will be a waiting period for a PPV to be put in the archive so Sky can get its chance to get late comers.

Will be very disappointed if it isn't the same as the US package. But I am 100% aware that was never going to be the case. |

the Network has been available since day 1 over here via proxy. It's very simple to set up and costs around £9 per month combined for the Network and the proxy, which is still ridiculously cheap given it can also be used with Netflix and other streaming "services". But for some reason plenty of people are aware of this and still refuse to sign up

The frustrating thing is after pulling the launch, they do what could be considered a massive angle given the push rusev has had, as a network exclusive.

it's really not, especially on a gaming console. You need a US PSN account, which takes around 5 minutes to create (or whatever the XBOX equivalent is) then download the WWE Network app from the store/marketplace, sign up for the proxy (which literally takes 5 seconds given the first week is a free trial, you simply go to their site and type in your e-mail address) and to change the DNS settings in your "Network settings" on your console to the ones provided by the proxy on said website. It's all very simple step-by-step stuff and takes maybe 10-15 minutes.

It's not up on their YouTube account yet, so a link to it on WWE.com will have to do for now.
It's an apology from Vince to the UK fans. http://www.wwe.com/videos/wwe-chairm...-fans-26779418 |

A channel really is terrible, especially if it is just episodes of WWE Vintage and random things on at random times. Takes away the whole fun of it.
If there are lots of situations like this internationally, it could mean that they never make up the number of subscribers internationally to make it worthwhile. It could be a disaster for the network as a whole. |
