WWE Network "upgrade?"
So they took a 5 year old platform and upgraded it with new technology, and all it did was screw it all up.
Missing a bunch of content (hidden gems, beyond the ring DVDs, ect.) For some unknown reason the default language on a Roku is French, and on wwenetwork.com the default language is German. You can't change the settings, so you have to change it every time another language is offered. None of the stupid new features work any better or bring any real improvement. Search is as shitty as ever. It takes FAR longer to load anything on demand. Simple and easy is now gawdy and slow. Greedy ass Vince selling us on it being an upgrade, but clearly he went with a cheaper option cause he is an old bastard. I hope Vince fucks off to the XFL for good as soon as possible. |

there's a plan that gives you free live stream so you can watch all ppvs if you can watch it live.

To be fair, they hadnt changed anything since it launched over 5 years ago.
People bitch and moan when companies dont upgrade things and keep expecting people to pay for the same thing over and over. WWE makes changes for the first time in 5 years and youre bitching about it. ugh |

The design is a lot better than the old shitty one but if I try to play any old video, like 70% of the time it just doesn't load for me until I reload it like 10 times and sometimes just doesn't work at all...

Shit released in 2019 shouldn't be such a downgrade in quality over something released in 2014. They took a basic but well functioning streaming service, and added some flashy backgrounds and appearance enhancements to distract from the fact that they have changed to a shitty streaming engine. |

Also, why the fuck is the default language anything but english, and why is there no global setting to change it? That's great they have PPVs available in 9 languages, but maybe don't make it so I have to change it to english every can time...

Since the change I’ve only watched NXT which crapped out during the main event. Not a good start.

I can't get full screen on my tv now, via iPad. Even current content has a box around it.
Can't figure that out, annoyingly. May have to watch SummerSlam on the IPad... |

I actually like the new interface design and that when I go to my account settings it actually tells me when my current subscription expires. The only thing I feel "take or leave it" on is the fact that you can't navigate to the exact second of old shows and instead you can only skip ahead in 10/20/30 second increments. Pretty MEH.
