By some guy I mean Miller Perkins and Michael Cole.

At the WWE panel for SXSW they had Cena speak for 5 minutes in Chinese. Steph was there, and someone else.

Roku is down here for SXSW and they are streaming the WWE network all day with guest Sargeant Slaughter.

Right the key is Bryan being inserted into the main event and winning the title for the before mentioned scenario to work. Bryan pins Orton at Mania. Batista has a look of Damn he's good . We do Orton/Bryan at the next ppv . Bryan goes over . Next ppv. Bryan/Batista Bryan goes over. Batista shakes his hand and endorses Bryan as champ. Then that leads to my previous scenario and Batista is a hot baby face for the movie.

Something I thought would be cool for the network would be what MLB channel does and has 2 rivals discussing a big World Series moment . I saw Mitch Williams and Joe Carter discuss the game that lead to the home run. I think it would be fascinating to see say Dusty and Flair discuss Starcade 85. It would be like the Bret/Shawn Rivalries DVD. The key would be to have a Jim Ross type as host who would do their research or maybe Steve Austin . He seems to do the leg work for his show, and loves the history of wrestling.

He'll probably be billed in the top 5 or 6 in the movie. He is one of The Guardians of the Galaxy. Here's a serious question then, since the movie opens in August, is there a way they can turn him around by then? Not necessarily at Mania, but at least a month or two before it opens? It would be easy enough to turn him. Have him save Bryan from a beat down from HHH and friends. Set up a match with Batista/Partner of his choice against HHH/who ever. Batista announces his partner as the most talented person in the business . Bryan walks out. Batista gets Bryab's rub. He's now getting cheered because he's positioned right. Not percieves as stealing someone's spot.

I think it's just glitches right now that will work itself out.

Me too. I still have issues with the WrestleMania Rewinds unless I watch them through the program guide. Also, the 85 house show from Maple Leaf Gardens randomly disappeared between last night and this morning. For the most part though, the Network on the Roku has been spot on aside from those minor glitches which will sort themselves out in time. The 1st Wrestlemania rewind I can watch under shows. The 2nd one kicks me off, but can watch it under schedule.

I have the Roku 3 and for the most part been happy. The live stream works great. The VOD works well except for a couple glitches that will sort itself out. For example Starcade 84 kicks me off the network.

No fucking way this is true. Johnny logic # non withstanding.

At least the sicko is used to wearing jump suits.

In the Observer update they say they'll be adding more content tonight.

I've always liked the Regal/Badd matches.

The Iron Man was on all the magazine inserts and posters .

Royal Rumble 2014 finally showed up on the Roku.

The rewind is about the main event so far. The 1 hr house shows usually show 3 or 4 full matches.

He'll probably be billed in the top 5 or 6 in the movie. He is one of The Guardians of the Galaxy.

Worked good for me. Roku 3

I thought for the most part the launch went pretty smooth. I know they must prioritize and make sure the live stream is working for Mania. I just wish their was better communication on their part . For example on their website they should have a list that says we are aware of these problems. Like with my Roku having 3 shows that kick me off the network when I VOD them. Or the fact that Royal Rumble 2014 isn't listed. These are all small hiccups in my opinion. Though I wish I knew if they know the problem exists. Lack of communication is my main problem

I don't see these on my Roku, computer, or phone. So I don't think it's just a Roku thing.

That''s a neat way to get rough ideas , or a feel for stuff.

I found this really neat. St. Louis was the crown jewel in the NWA for so long. I'd love to see something from Houston.
