WWE to the UK Fans - "Fuck you"

[Twister]

Straight from the horses mouth: http://www.wwe.com/wwenetwork/available-in-uk-nov-3-26767676

Pretty stoked, I think it works out at around £6-something a month in UK money, so not bad really. I'm willing to give it a go.

[Daz]

First month free as well. Can't argue with that.

[Twister]

It's network day tomorrow! I'm sort of excited

[SortaCreative]

big fat meh.

I'll have a look during the free month tho.

[Georgerv]

I've already had it with the workaround, but I'm glad everyone else will finally have it a bit easier. Oh and stop asking me every time they see me how i did it only to forget the very next day and never buy it.


Also, holy shit it took far too fucking long for them to release it here... and they wonder why the network numbers are below projections??? All the while insulting people that actually payed for their PPVs whilst the network wasn't even available in their country, or hell even their area if their internet connection isn't sufficient to stream at a stable rate.

[HardcoreLegend]

So they're launching in the UK... But list the American price? I dunno why but £6 a month seems too good to be true, especially thinking about the Sky costs and how much Box Office charge. Maybe that's why it has taken longer for them to launch over here, figuring things out with Sky.

[SortaCreative]

So, how much do we wanna bet it's going to crap out when it launches tonight?

[prophet]

Yeah I really don't care at this point. Might consider it if we get the US version of the Network but if we get the Canada version I'm not bothering.

[Twister]

I don't think it's going to be the Canada version, at least it doesn't sound like it will be. I'm gonna do the free month and then decide after that I think, may as well. Taj is probably right though, it probably will crap out after it's been launched tonight, probably due to so many people trying to sign up at once Wouldn't surprise me! 45 minutes and counting.

[Daz]

And they've delayed it indefinitely ... sometimes I just despair with this company.

[Twister]

And they've delayed it indefinitely ... sometimes I just despair with this company.

My thoughts exactly.

Screw it, I'm getting ICW on demand instead. WWE can kiss my arse.

[Daz]

It's like they don't like money.

[PorkChop]

Hold on, they announced it was going to be tonight, then indefinitely delayed it at the last moment?

[Everlong]

I don't understand... how fucking hard can it be to offer the service to people on other countries? Why would they announce a release date only to delay it days later?

This fucking company.

[Georgerv]

Delayed.... again. What an absolute load of toss. Right before the UK tour as well, are they high?


My guess is Sky kicked up a huge fuss about WWE giving away Survivor Series for free, as the network is free this month. Would also explain why WWE didn't give a reason for the delay

[PorkChop]

Delayed.... again. What an absolute load of toss. Right before the UK tour as well, are they high?

This tour could turn out HORRIBLY. And I'll love every minute of it.

[Twister]

Hold on, they announced it was going to be tonight, then indefinitely delayed it at the last moment?

Yep, that's it basically. What a joke, they don't even give an explanation, nice way to treat one of their largest audiences outside of the USA huh

[Twister]

Seems appropriate:

[Daz]

Literally 20 minutes prior to when it was supposed to launch. If they weren't ready to launch, why announce the date, why announce a time? It's just fuckery of the highest order.

[PorkChop]

WWE are one of the most badly run companies I can think of. Genuinely.
