Did WWE Fastlane make you want to subscribe to WWE Network?
 
Let's say you were "on the fence" and decided to try WWEs free month to get a better idea on whether or not you'd like to "go for it." Based on the WWE Fastlane PPV, would you subscribe to the network?

Wishbone 02-23-2015 04:46 PM

No. Nothing about that PPV even seemed like a PPV. In fact outside the Reigns vs Bryan match it felt like an episode of RAW.

Big Vic 02-23-2015 04:48 PM

Didn't watch it but what about Cena vs Rusev?

Emperor Smeat 02-23-2015 05:01 PM

No. Outside of the Usos vs Brass Ring Club and the main event, show felt lackluster overall. Crowd being bored or disinterested for almost the whole show didn't help either.

SlickyTrickyDamon 02-23-2015 05:03 PM

I think the network is worth the price for the library alone.

If based solely on the PPV I wouldn't be swayed.

Ruien 02-23-2015 05:10 PM

Nope. It made me not want to resubscribe (Did for the RR and just so happened Fastlane was attached to my 30 days). This is not because Daniel Bryan is not in the main event either.

You have, Sting going over HHH. Reigns going over Brock. Those are the two main matches, both with predictable outcomes, and only 1 wrestler who I care to even watch anymore (Brock).

Big Vic 02-23-2015 05:19 PM

Yeah I think when brock leaves I might be done, I like Rusev but I'm not interested in seeing Rusev do a best of 3 with Cena (really hope this doesn't happen) or rusev being fed to Reigns.

KIRA 02-23-2015 05:29 PM

Nope. In fact I just felt depressed after the show was done. My interest in this show has never been lower and I have 0 interest in WM.

I doubt even NXT could turn me around, outside of some massive shift I'm just burnt out.

Nark Order 02-23-2015 05:41 PM

I am going to Wrestlemania, so I have to have hope. Admittedly though, it isn't looking good.

Innovator 02-23-2015 05:43 PM

Narc, don't let Nowhere Man anywhere near the Golden Gate Bridge.

SlickyTrickyDamon 02-23-2015 05:51 PM

Fast Lane did however end my quest to find cheap flights/hotel/mania tickets.

I had that hope before I went to the rumble, didn't think I'd be let down as bad as I was.

XL 02-23-2015 06:48 PM

Was Fastlane enough by itself to convince me? I'd say no.

Having the option to watch monthly PPVs live, or if I don't want to stay up til 4am stream the next day through a secure feed that's not gonna give my computer a virus, whilst also having access to the wonderful NXT, and a massive library of exclusive content and back catalogue for £5 a month (I split the cost with a friend) just about keeps me going.

Fignuts 02-23-2015 07:39 PM

Rusev vs Cena and Reigns vs Bryan were both really good, but neither were 5 star classics. Brass Ring vs Uso's was alright. Mostly memorable for Brass Ring Club winning tho. Besides that, not a great PPV.

Still glad they took the elimination chamber out though. Being between the rumble and mania wasn't a good spot, imo. Also, making a PPV out of it kind of lessens the importance of it. Feel the same way about HIAC.

Mr. Nerfect 02-23-2015 08:30 PM

Nah. Bryan vs. Reigns was a great match, but didn't have the outcome that I, as a fan, wanted to see. Cena vs. Rusev was good, but I'm not a major fan of Cena or Rusev's character, so it still feels like a loose sell to me. If Paige and Dean Ambrose had won their respective championship matches, then I might have more fond memories of the event.

Mr. Nerfect 02-23-2015 08:31 PM

In retrospect, given that this was a chance to pimp the WWE Network, this would have been the perfect place to advertise NXT on WWE PPV. Kevin Owens vs. Finn Balor would have been a VERY welcome addition to the card on my end. You could have taken off the matches that the company wasn't confident in delivering closure with (like the aforementioned title matches), and Owens vs. Balor could have been used to sell people on NXT.

Last thing we want is Nowhere Man getting arrested for going after JBL

dronepool 02-23-2015 10:14 PM

The $9.99 is worth the HD feed of the PPV. Unless I stop watching RAW and become super broke, $9.99 a month is a good deal.

This.

I also recommend because almost all, if not every, Documentary they have done for the Network has been pretty great.

The Podcasts and all the Original content make $9.99 a steal.

I do wish they would put more of the Legends of Wrestling Roundtables up though.

Nark Order 02-24-2015 12:30 AM

Well, that isn't what I asked.

SlickyTrickyDamon 02-24-2015 12:41 AM

True but what you asked wasn't the complete picture.

Nicky Fives 02-24-2015 09:42 AM

Not even remotely..... the crowd failing to actually give a shit really turned things for me......They were basically silent for "Undertaker's" first appearance since Wrestlemania....place should have come unglued.....

MoFo 02-24-2015 09:46 AM

Was really looking forward to Cena vs Rusev and Goldy v Cody but both managed to be epic bores.

Only thing Fast Lane did was confirm NXT is the only WWE produced program worth watching.

Mr. Nerfect 02-24-2015 09:50 AM

The crowd did suck, but it's not like the WWE has given them much reason to care. They took it out of hardcore fans with the Royal Rumble.

Aren't people usually quiet for Undietaker?

Heyman 02-24-2015 01:33 PM

I'm calling it.


Bray Wyatt defeats Undertaker at Wrestlemania, and "ends" Undertaker's career.


#NextBigStar

Nark Order 02-24-2015 02:27 PM

Even if he did, I think it has been proven by now that one big event doesn't put a guy over because WWE can just undo it by being morons. Booking needs to be consistent now for anything substantial to happen, and WWE has proven that they are really bad at doing that.

This is definitely true, but I think Bray Wyatt is one of those guys that the WWE really wants to push to the moon at some point. Wyatt, Reigns, and Rollins seem to be loved by management, and unlike practically everyone else on the roster, I think the WWE genuinely is 'invested' in these 3 guys.

no it made me want to poop because i ate too many doritos

Austin was saying on his podcast that the acoustics were off in the arena, more than the crowd weren't interested.

Mr. Nerfect 02-24-2015 07:46 PM

Fair enough. It's a shame, because it did affect the quality of the presentation.

While that might not be good, that's far from the last thing we want.

SlickyTrickyDamon 02-25-2015 02:44 PM

Why would you want Nowhere Man getting his ass whipped? and Clotheslined all the way to hell?

Still, 'Taker is pushing 50, and it becomes more and more obvious with each passing year why he only competes once a year. He just needs to get a win @ WM31 and retire with a very respectable epic 22-1 WM record. Seems like younger generations probably don't even know or care that much about him, just shows up once a year for his WM paycheck and to give older fans a bit of what seems more like nostalgia than an actual match anymore.

Mr. Nerfect 02-25-2015 08:39 PM

I have a feeling that The Undertaker will beat Bray at WrestleMania, but I'd rather see Bray win, then The Wyatt Family return to their patriarch. They take The Undertaker to the back with them, and Kane returns as a monster and demands The Undertaker's soul back.

Yes, it's cheesy. Yes, Kane vs. Wyatt has been done. No, the matches would not be great. But as far as giving Taker and Kane send-offs, I'd like to see them make Bray Wyatt the true New Face of Fear in WWE. Wyatt beats Taker at Mania, then defeats Kane at Extreme Rules. Wyatt then becomes the favorite for the Money in the Bank Ladder Match at the June PPV, which also features homestate favorites Dean Ambrose and Dolph Ziggler.
