WWE Network Canadian launch met with dismay

 

 The WWE Network has launched in Canada but the stripped down, bare bones version has many loyal fans crying foul.

 

Available at launch are a handful of SummerSlam pay-per-views, the Great American Bash from 1989, three WCW Bash at the Beach shows, two ECW Heatwave pay-per-views and the One Night Stand show from 2005.

 

The content is not labeled by name, just meaningless numbers, titles and there are missing logos and images.

 

All told, the content on the Canadian version of the WWE Network amounts to approximately 39 hours of content, a drop in the bucket compared to the enormous library available on the online version which has each and every WCW, ECW and WWE pay-per-view available, most episodes of WCW?s Clash of Champions, Saturday Night?s Main Event, ECW Hardcore TV, the original Legends? House and Total Divas reality shows, an archive of old school WWE house show cards and a multitude of specials, past DVD releases which have been transferred to digital media and much more.

 

Many Canadian fans are expressing their disappointment online.

 

 

?This sucks, it sucks so bad. How could you defend this,? posted user ?teambates? on Wreddit.

 

?Well, it looks like the first day of the WWE Network in Canada went over like a lead balloon. Good work, guys,? wrote user Al Creed on Twitter.

Canadian wrestling superstar Lance Storm took to Twitter to voice his dismay.

 

?Did some research just less that 20% of Canada uses Rogers, so 80+% still can't get @WWENetwork It's also a partial version for $11.99 :-(,? he wrote.

?Also, it seems the only archive we'll get is Max Moon and Bastion Booger matches,? joked Marc Poitras in reply.

 

One popular Internet unblocking service took advantage of the discontent to entice Canadians by stating, ?Watch SummerSlam on WWE Network no matter where in the world you are (even Canada).?

 

WWE Network on Rogers is priced at $11.99 per month, which includes the monthly WWE pay-per-view.

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS? If you are in Canada, email us your thoughts on WWE Network in Canada on Rogers, and we'll collect them for a story.

Wow that's awful, and pretty much what we can expect from other providers if they continue their provider-specific roll out.  There was a lot of talk about Sky being the official provider for this in the UK so the same thing will happen.

 

I don't know why they don't go with their original web-based plan everywhere like it is in the states??

Ah, 3PW. Everyone?s third favourite post-ECW Viking Hall occupants.

 
 
3PW?s biggest issue was finding an identity. It ended up being ?stuff you wouldn?t see in nearby XPW, CZW, ROH or JAPW? which meant Legends who couldn?t do anything but blade, your least favourite ECW guys (Pitbull #1, Jason Knight, Chad Austin etc.) and ###### (Jasmine St. Claire). Which doesn?t sound that bad on paper, but with endless Todd Gordon segments, no direction and horrible commentary, the highlights were sparse.
 
In fairness, Matt Striker, Joey Matthews and Rob Eckos all excelled in the company and looked like stars from the get-go.
 
3PW became known later on for the problems caused by Jasmine St. Claire and others. Here?s a brief list of 3PW Follies:
 
Year End Mayhem
-Bam Bam Bigelow apologised to fans after his match with Abdullah The Butcher.
-Syxx-Pac apologised for not being 100% for the second show in a row. Syxx said he wouldn?t return until he was 100%
-Dusty Rhodes, Too Cold Scorpio and Ron Killings all no-showed.
 
A New Era
-Sandman (subbed for 3PW Champion Sabu, who missed his flight for not the first time) and then lost it to Terry Funk. Justin Credible would later win the belt and have it vacated for the same reason.
 
Five Star Four Way
-There was a long wait, because Chris Daniels had not arrived to the show. Christopher Daniels was stuck at Hartsfield International Airport in Atlanta as the show started and his plane sat on the runway ready to leave but was being held up for heavy outgoing traffic.
-During intermission, 3PW learned that Chris Daniels had landed at Philadelphia International Airport. Daniels was driven directly to the show and used the back entrance of the ECW Arena.  Daniels rushed to change into his wrestling gear and went straight to the ring for his match.
 
The Show Must Go On
-Joey Matthews called in and QUIT the company earlier in the week for not being reimbursed for his travel expenses last month.
-3PW owner Jasmin St. Claire no-showed her own show and was nowhere to be found.
-3PW booker Tod Gordon left the ECW Arena before the show after learning the workers would not be getting paid..
-Brian ?Blue Meanie? Heffron and Chuck Williams rebooked the show organized the talent backstage.
-With the exception of Low-Ki, Mike Kruel, Gary Wolf and Jack Victory, the rest of the roster agreed to work.
