It's got everything, yes. They're also adding all of the old ones, I believe.
Everything is going to be on Netflix (Raw, Smackdown, NXT, PPV’s). It’s only in US that it’s just Raw that is moving over to Netflix. One thing I hope when it moves to Netflix is they don’t throw in as many ad breaks as Sky & TNT used to do.
This weeks Smackdown is going to be on YouTube. Link below:
This Friday's Smackdown will be on youtube.
Already seem to have a lot of the old PPVs. Not every single one but all of the main ones (Rumble, etc.) seem to be there.
Hope it isn't as add heavy as that Saturday show they did recently. Tried watching that the day after and ended up just turning it off as it was cutting to youtube adds literally every 20 seconds, and then still had the actual add breaks in it on top.
That's actually brilliant. No more

That was fecking sick, fair play.
It’s finally Tiffy time!

Actually watching this Smackdown since it's on youtube, not really sure why, I'm just up.
Belair's genuinely brilliant. They have so much trust in her that they had her be the one to babysit and almost certainly will be Jade's first singles feud. Shame she almost certainly won't turn heel though, which is a shame, be good to see go for it. She's just too good as what she does though.

Could happen though when Jade comes back. Got a feeling she was the one that badly attacked Jade that put her on the sidelines
Definitely by far the best part of the show.
Definitely think she’s due a heel run, could also integrate Montez Ford into it who they should be using more
Started watching first 5 minutes - advert
This is annoying me every time there’s a advert on smackdown soon as comes back on there’s a YouTube advert for 40 seconds
Going through the old In Your House ppvs on Netflix, mostly brutal stuff 
and Vince on comms, what a manoeuvre

Although a placeholder listing for Raw with a TV-14 rating appeared on Netflix in the months leading up to the move, WWE president Nick Khan subsequently clarified that Raw would remain a "family friendly [...] advertiser friendly" program, and that episodes on Netflix would have the same TV-PG content rating used since 2008.
So anyone like myself hoping for attitude era mark ii will be in for big disappointment then, lame.

WWE Network is still accessible with a Philippines VPN.
I've been searching on Netflix and a lot of the library seems to be missing as expected. Does anyone know if the entire library will be moved to netflix?

Why would you want that?
I want to see Reigns shag a corpse
Id like my pretend fighting to have a heavy sprinkling of edgy storylines, sex appeal and bloody violence what's wrong with that?
Watched the Wembley Summerslam 92 today. I was there, can barely remember it as was really young.Going through the old In Your House ppvs on Netflix, mostly brutal stuff

Highlights included Repo man v Crush, The Model Rick Martel v Shaun Michaels with a stipulation of not hurting each others faces and Harvey Wippleman announcing Kamala's entrance in his match v The Undertaker with the lines: "From the darkness of Africa to the bright lights of America". Different times.
Main event was the British Bulldog defeating Bret Hart for the intercontinental championship.
There era doesn't hold up well at all imo, it's a nostalgia hit of when wrestling was still "real". You watch it now and the storylines are low key terrible and problematic, and the quality of wrestling was very much mixed bag. RA aged a lot better, and consider you still had the raping of corpses in that era...
The energy and the crowds from that era is what people want, with good storytelling and great wrestling.
Really hope we see less of Nia now.
Probably wishful thinking.

I just meant content geared towards adults and not kids.
Come on, the RA was tenfold more wilder than the AE.... of the top 10 worst things Vince did "in character", about 8 of them will be from that Evil Vince period, Katie Vick, Heidenrich, Torrie/Dawn/Sable were rarely saw wearing clothes, Trish wasn't too far behind either despite her learning to wrestle in this time frame, Lita-Edge live sex and angle with Kane!, Kiss My Ass club, Kurt Angle's fetish gimmick, Tim White suicide angle, a stunning amount of casual racism which at times was considered such at the time forget looking back on it now, the mole on the face... who was that special wrestler too.... I'm forgetting loads.... but we're about to get tonked 8-0.
RA's reputations lives off 2002-03 Smackdown mostly.... outside of that it was just an extension of AE more or less, just no Austin, Rock and totally different people in HBK and HHH.... but I agree with the initial... it all added up to being the glory days.
Forget all this trying to fit in with mainstream culture high production and over the top long drawn out stories, WWE is supposed to be an outlandish soap!
Try rewatching the build up to wm 17 main event and tell me again if the attitude era was just nostalgia.
I feel like if it happened today the internet would be whinging about Debra being involved.
People back then were whinging Debra was involved. To be fair she was pretty shit.
Nah I watched a few episodes the other day and still enjoyed it.
I think the issue with the AE was that WCE and WWF had the opposite issues:
- WCW had an amazing, wrestling/based undercard, but horrific main event storylines and matches
- WWF had electric main event storylines (but not the bet wrestling), and the undercard was horrendous, with match after match being 5-10mins of nonsense followed by a cheap win or run-in DQ.
Rewatched through the AE on the network and it holds up fine. There's an element of nostalgia but the shows are genuinely fun and much less focused around how to maximise the advertising.
Don't think it was trying all that hard to be "real" either. If anything it takes itself a lot more seriously now.
Although no arguing the actual wrestling was mainly complete garbage at the time, especially outside of the PPVs.
The biggest problem with the AE was the unnecessary racism, sexism and other pointlessly inappropriate stuff. That and people smacking each other directly in the head with large metal objects every 5 seconds.

Big Netflix debut tonight... I honestly can't recall ever seeing this sort of promotion for anything wrestling related before.
I've been watching from the start of the Monday Night Wars, and it's honestly amazing that either product picked up speed.
WCW's main event scene has the ridiculous Hogan vs Dungeon of Doom storyline, which introduces the notoriously shite gimmick of "The Yeti", features Hogan and The Giant/Big Show allegedly battling each other on a rooftop inside monster trucks before having an actual match, Hogan turning heel by way of Kevin Sullivan wearing a dress then not turning heel, and generally just Hogan, Savage, Luger and Sting shouting at each other incoherently. They also keep going "WHERE THE BIG BOYS PLAY" which has to be an all-time terrible slogan.
WWF is arguably even worse, with basically nothing of note going on. Bret Hart is having a feud with PCO in his pirate gimmick over him stealing sunglasses off a kid, Dean Douglas is a teacher and feuding with Razor Ramon (X-Pac as 1-2-3 kid is also sort of involved), Marty Jannetty is trying to stay relevant, Viscera/Mabel has won King of the Ring and is being pushed as a main event heel against Undertaker, HHH is feuding with a pig farmer, Kane is an evil dentist.
Fair enough
I said better not that it was great. Off the top of my head you got pillmans got a gun, dx blackface, triple H/Stephanie "marriage", hawks addiction, undertaker literally hanging someone in the middle of the ring. I say RA holds up better just because I think the wrestling overall is better tbh.
I fully agree, wrestling is a soap opera.
One short period doesn't represent the entire era.
And you don't think nostalgia plays a big factor in that? I rewatched the raws from 96 up until about 2001 recently. I enjoyed it, but a lot of it doesn't hold up well at all.
Somewhat agree.
By real I meant fans still believing. You say it holds up fine but you're actually in agreement with all my points.
Again, the build up to the Hogan vs Sting was crazy good. You'll never have the same effect binge watching it as compared to waiting for the next show for the entire week. WCW's golden period was as good as the peak attitude era.
It's ridiculous to binge watch attitude era and then conclude the it was not all that. Not directed at you but the previous few posts.
