Not a huge fan of the WWE documentaries on the Attitude Era as the victors write history and they gloss over a lot of the **** they did.

One that should be watched is Wrestling with Shadows. Perfectly captures Bret Hart leading to the Screwjob.

If you have time, grab a copy of Death of WCW which recently went through a second edition and has been extended. Covers it well and from an objective perspective.

Don't miss NXT R Evolution. Whatever you do. Some of the finest WWE matches we've seen over the past year.

Yes, there haven't been loads.

It was fantastic. NXT has been consistently the best wrestling show on TV for the past year or so.

WWE Network talk in the UK has gone very quiet

Would you really subscribe to it? If you look at the listings, it's a load of Countdown shows and cut versions of their DVDs. The back catalogue has been horribly out of order apparently.

If you get all the PPV's for $9.99 a month, then i would..

That's not happening with the UK launch because of the deal with Sky.

If however you used a proxy, you could get the network for $9.99 and watch the PPVs. If you're struggling with using a proxy, ask MrM.

Loads of fans from the UK have got the network using this.

The Authority are back in power!

Great to see Daniel Bryan announce his retuen date too

WWE Network is coming to the UK on 16th January for £9.99 a month. I think I'll stick with the £6.89 I've been paying for the U.S version for the last 6 months!

Thats a lot of money for not much content. Netflix is £6.99 a month and I use it daily and it adds new and original stuff all the time.

Definitely. The Network is rubbish in terms of original content. WWE has slashed its production budget by around 40% so you get a lot of re-runs on there. It's only worth getting if you want to watch the library - which isn't complete!

Side note - Sky Sports has cut the amount of WWE it's showing from this month. Afterburn, Bottom Line, NXT, Vintage have gone. WWE Experience will jump from SKy 1 to Sports depending on scheduling. Raw and Smackdown re-runs have been cut to an hour because the feeling was the re-runs weren't being viewed. Main Event has been added to Sky. All PPVs are on Box Office.

[Alex]

Vintage was the only thing I ever watched I think.

[Jayesh87]

If you subscibe to the WWE Network (UK), do you get Royal Rumble & Wrestlemania?

If so, i will sign up and cancel after Wrestlemania.
