The Day The WWE Network Died

If this MF says "dibbity e" one more time...

I knew it at the time but it did NOT have everything. Most wcw before nitro wasn't there.

Well like the Attitude Era, the WWE Network was too good to last.

Looking back @ it now, the WWE Network could've been $30 & I'd still keep it.

🚨🚨Did the network have all the old smackdown nd raw episodes???

Had a subscription back in ththe day as a kid lol

You can still watch the network with a VPN, I’m watching it now, quit with these stupid videos

Friends, I still have WWE Network as of December 21, 2025. I pay for Nord VPN and WWE Network. I connect to Germany from Mexico. And that's it. Japan will still have WWE Network. Germany, Austria, and South Africa will still have WWE Network.

The original WWE Network was as good as we would ever have it. PPVs, classic content, fun original content, easy to use navigation. It's too bad Vince got talked into selling it out to The Cock.

Say whatever you want about Vince how he ran his company and how he treated his employees. But he was probably the most customer oriented CEO ever. Affordable ticket prices making sure families could attend to getting rid of PPV model in favor of WWE Network. He always catered to being affordable.

Thanks to the WWE Network, I was able to binge watch SmackDown, Raw and the PPVs from 2002-2003 those were the times I was just getting outta diapers so it was good to actually watch and get into the great matches from the early Ruthless Aggression Era

I stopped watching after he said it wasn't just a streaming platform. It was just a streaming platform.

It seems like yesterday, that this service was a must have to escape boredom. Fire TV, Roku, PlayStation you name it. WWE network was good to have until 2019, and it just crashed. Thank God I have most wrestling on Hard Drive, DVD and VHS.

i got the network towards the end but fuck man it was incredible

It’s funny because while the current product (at the time) was bad the Network was a good deal tbh

WWEs biggest missed opportunity was centralizing all their programming on their own network.

And now to see it all you need Netflix, peacock, and ESPN+...about $60 a month.

Now we can’t watch raw on peacock bcuz of the rock

The way he says WWE "Dubyudubyuwee" 😂

Love him or hate him, Vince had foresight. Getting all big names in one fed, taking over national tv witb cable, PPV, E Network, Peacock deal... so much stuff he was calle nuts for that became an industry standard. At the time of the Network it was only them and Netflix that were streaming

I miss the wwe network i got it before survivor series 2016 till network move to peacock in 2021

Triple H era is beyond horrendous.

In India, Netflix playing with WWE fans because the old content of raw and episodes of SmackDown are not uploaded. WCW is not uploaded. ECW is not uploaded. We can see Netflix killêd WWE in India.

In year 2014 , how was this Ground Breaking ,
Streaming already existed,
Netflix was already here ,,,
Smartphone , Laptop and everything else already existed

at this point i m starting to think that that price campaign was just an excuse to say something similar to 'nein nein nein' on national tv as many times as possible cause they're all a bunch of f'in n's (this n word is the bad one, just to be clear)

I wish there were an easy way to pirate it or watch it on my pirated streaming networks but it’s so hard

WWE Network was brilliant

Netflix should have stayed focus on movies and TV shows. They are killing WWE with TKO. And stop with expanding in the game "Netflix edition", not worth it. Makes me feel like they are begging.

It’s been almost a year and All raw and smackdown episodes from 2007-2019 still missing 😢

I remember it released here in UK the following February. I remember installing it on my brand new PS4 at the time and the 2015 Royal Rumble was the first live PPV I watched from it. It sure was a blast from the past.

2:20🤣

The original network on the WWE website was 🔥 the move to peacock was a hot mess

The first time I discovered the WWE network I literally cried 😢

Still Here in Germany 😊

I wouldn't mind normally but you can't watch any old episodes of Raw and Smackdown anymore. It's a shitshow and made me stop watching wrestling. And I mean that genuinely, I stopped after it got onto Netflix and only watch YouTubers now every once in a while.

The network also failed because the product was so bad, so consistently for quite a while. People cancelled after each awful PPV or slew of weekly shows. 2019 for example was a brutal year for WWE creatively.

Так, я пам'ятаю цю мережу, і зараз думаю куди вона зникла а ось куди. Ти нагадав.
