i'm sure to no one's surprise the skit from 1998 where D-Generation X impersonated the Nation of Domination has been removed Good riddance, that segment sucked. If they could go ahead and edit DX out of existence that would be great. |

I watched the first half of the latest episode of NXT last week. To my surprise, when I attempted to finish it up on Sunday, I got the message that WWE Network had moved to Peacock. I originally thought the move wasn't taking place until WM weekend. I have an Amazon Fire Stick so I quickly learned that Amazon and Peacock are still negotiating so through some Google searching, I found a work-around and now have Peacock.
I got the Premium package but what really ticks me off is if I try to fast forward through something (like a match I don't care to see), it goes right to a 1-minute commercial before I can continue! WWE Network was not like this! So frustrating to the point I would rather just suffer through the match/segment I would rather skip. Also, the search menu is a little jacked but I suppose I'll get used to it.

Unfortunately, there is no "Ad Blocker" for Peacock. I can't tell you how many times I've seen the ads for "State Farm" insurance, all of them. Ugh. And Capitol One, as well. At least, Taylor Swift is cute in that one, but I can't say the same for Charles Barkley, haha!  I've watched Starrcade '86 for the first time ever, and the highlight was the scaffold match between the LoD and the Midnight Express! The rest of the SuperCard wasn't that great, though. Oh well, at least I finally saw the whole thing! I will be catching up on the Alexa Bliss stuff soon, she's my new fave! Can't wait for WrestleMania this weekend!  Todd C WTIC |

Peacock might cost less per month compared to the WWE Network but it is definitely a less fan-friendly product I am finding out this week in regards to trying to watch Tuesday's Hall of Fame ceremonies.

I wasn't aware that the HoF ceremony was Tuesday. I double-checked the schedule on Wiki, and yeah it was Tuesday.
Peacock isn't that easy to navigate, sadly. Hopefully, the entire library of WWE stuff will be on there soon, and it will be easier to find stuff, but you never know!

That's the case with most Smart TV apps unfortunately. You can spend hours looking if you don't have specifics in mind.

Todd C WTIC The search feature from what I can tell is also subpar compared to what the WWE Network had where you could type in the name of a wrestler and then be given a list of matches they appear in. As far as I can tell, you can't do that on Peacock. But I was referring to even watching the live events. Unlike the WWE Network, if you join a show in progress you can not start at the beginning (even Fite now allows you to do that by rewinding the show as it is happening) nor can you put the show on pause if you have to go to the bathroom or something. Peacock might cost less compared to the WWE Network being on the WWE website, but the resulting product is also less compared to when the WWE Network was on the WWE website. |

One reason I like Paramount over most of the other places I've had. Much easier to search for stuff.

I’m just not watching WWE PPVs right now. I catch the live highlight on Reddit and other wrestling sites. I read the results. But I don’t have any plans to get Peacock. No point canceling cable to replace it with multiple streaming services. The two or three we have now is enough. There isn’t anything in wrestling right now that is must see TV. You can catch everything online almost immediately afterwards.

I was hesitant to jump on at first but I did the month trial and saw that basically all the Nick stuff I grew up with was on there, plus Cheers and Chappelle's Show and Star Trek TNG. I think I could run with just Paramount+ and HBO Max and I'd be totally fine. |
