With my Syracuse Orange now out of the NCAA Tournament, and with Nationals opening day still just over a week away, I can turn all of my attention to my new obsession, the WWE Network. It is awesome. Truly wonderful. There are so many excellent reasons why every wrestling fan should pay the very reasonable $10 a month to get this new streaming service. I have tried to do my best to boil it down to 5, and here they are.
1. All of the pay-per-views are included. No longer will you have to pay $50-$70 for 3 hours of entertainment which doesn't always live up to the hype. Instead, you can stream them all on the WWE Network for no extra cost than your subscription fee. It should be awesome.
2. All of the old PPVs from WWE, WCW and ECW are available. You have the chance to watch all of the best matches ever. The other day, I was able to watch the first World War 3 PPV from WCW. You can watch the birth of the nWo at Bash at the Beach. You can stream the 1998 King of the Ring, and watch Mick Foley vs the Undertaker in that epic Hell in a Cell. It is fantastic.
3. You can appreciate all the stars that have retired or passed. There are few things better than watching an Owen Hart match. One of them might be watching a Randy Savage match. They have both passed away, but their legacy lives on in their matches. HBK will always be the showstopper even now, after he retired, because you can watch his amazing matches on the WWE Network.
4. The original content is great. Countdown shows (which I clearly love), panel discussion that provide backstage views of the business, specials that highlight the old school side of wrestling from the territory days: Its all there. If you are just a fan, or a historian of the wrestling business, you will find something that will entertain you for hours.
5. Its just fun. That's all it is. "Sports Entertainment". So many people look down on the entertainment that is pro wrestling, and then they go out and rot their brains with reality TV. WWE is an entertainment company. Pro Wrestling is an entertainment business, and people love it. WWE Raw is the longest running weekly episodic television show in history. There are no reruns, there is no offseason. Every week, these folks put out a product that entertains millions of people around the world. Lots of folks will never get it. But a lot of us do. I was hooked the first time I saw wrestling, and will be a fan forever. That's why I got the WWE Network. If you love wrestling, you should too.
