My mate pointed this out to me recently. Basically an app that will allow you to watch all of the ppv live as well as all of the old episodes of raw and smackdown from previous years including the attitude era!

Unfortunately the WWE network that launches next week in America will not be available for us till the end of the year at the earliest. $9.99 a month for all the old programs and PPVs is great value.

Next Mondays Raw should be good with the fall out from the Chamber where I think John Cena is going to be screwed over for the title in favour of Orton and also the returns of Hulk Hogan and The Undertaker.

Hogan returns? Man I hope he doesn't wrestle anymore, his body is shot more than a malaria riddled hooker from Botswana.

I think I'm looking forward to the post EC episode of Raw maybe more than EC itself.

I used to be a big Batista fan but am annoyed at the moment. He needs to be on tv regularly (maybe he will between now and WM), the current feud with Del Rio is a waste of time, I think that is mainly due to my dislike of Del Rio.

Would've loved to see Bryan vs Punk at WM for the title. Would've been an instant classic.

I took my son to see WWE at Nottingham Arena last November for his birthday and have to say it the most fun at a show we have ever had.

Can't wait until March when they return!

Takes me back to the late 80s / early 90s when only one person in our class had Sky, so they'd record Westlemania / Summer Slam etc and then over the next few weeks the tape would be passed around the class!

Favourites at the time were the Undertaker, Legion of Doom and the British Bulldog.

WWE and before that, WWF are frickin awesome!


I haven't watched it for a few years now but I have enjoyed American wrestling from the old Macho Man days right through to Triple H etc. These guys are top athletes IMO and Wrestlemania main events are always good fun to watch.


Oh, just to add. I shook hands with Ric Flair and Triple H in New York 2004. Whoooooooo!
I'd feel like I should wash my hand after touching Ric Flair. Don't know why I never liked the guy, and a solid handshake from Triple H would likely rip my arm off. Regardless, I have huge respect for these guys. The athleticism is quite startling.

Used to be glued to the set when this was back on, the wife, our kids - just sucked it all in. But haven't watched any since divorce (so thats now 7 years). What are the story lines like these days?

Its no surprise the number of the guys who have gone on to film work; The Rock is the obvious success, but Triple H has had a few roles, John Cena, Stone Cold Steve and even Kane has appeared.

I used to watch it with my son when he was growing up, I don't watch it these days but i do listen to the " Steve Austin " podcast which gives you an insight into how pro wrestling works, he also has terrific guests on the show,it's a great listen for WWE fans.

Sounds interesting, I might look it up.



A lot have tried film acting, they mostly suck, the Rock is a genuine stand out.

I remember when Hogan returned last time and got some sweet chin music from HBK!

Flair was very cool in person, signing T-Shirts and shaking hands with a smile on his face. I thanked him and shook his hand and he replied 'Thank you Sir' biggrin



The Rock has done very well in Hollywood and you can see why. He had loads of charisma at WWE was certainly one of the best stars of his era.

Loved the match with Stone Cold where he ended it with something like 10 rock bottoms!

Rowdy Roddy was one if my classic faves. He would have rocked in the attitude era.
