It's tonight, bitches.
You will watch, and you will love it!
MOD EDIT LOL!
DRINKING GAME
1. Someone says it’s “The Showcase of the Immortals”. 2. An Internet Darling Gets Buried. 3. A Legend who isn’t really a Legend shows up. 4. Hogan says “the Network created the Universe. No, the Universe created the Network. No, you can buy the Universe for 9.99 a month. Oh, why didn’t I study for this, brother???” 5. Batista looks like he needs an oxygen mask. 6. Your friend is ahead of you in guessing the results. 7. There’s a musical act you never asked for. 8. You start talking about how you’ll never watch Raw if Bryan loses. 9. There’s a backstage segment with midcarders playing with wrestling dolls. 10. You can’t resist the urge to think “OMG, this is where Punk is going to show up!!” 11. Your WWE Network stream is buffering. 12. Your illegal video stream is buffering.

Watch it? Probably. I remember watching Wrestlemania I from the old Madison Square Garden on the MSG Network. Back in the days when the satellite dish was 10" across and made of steel mesh so that rain didn't affect the signal. Yes, that's the cue to get the heck off my lawn, ya dang kids.
Love it? We'll see.

Watch it? Probably. I remember watching Wrestlemania I from the old Madison Square Garden on the MSG Network. Back in the days when the satellite dish..steel mesh... Lucky you... My first live wrestlemania wasnt until I was a teenager and I moved to an area with scrambled channels in the nineties..by then I was a wcw mark. My most memorable wrestlemania was WM3 We didn't have ppv..but we did have a phone and I called the WM hotline to get my news. I remember hearing Steamboat won by small package and I couldn't figure out what a small pzckage was lol Also thakfully WWF had primetime on monday night so I didnt have to wait too long

Receiver box was modified with what was known back then as a "Three Musketeers" chip. Paid for an annual subscription to CNN ($12) and the chip decoded all the other scrambled signals. My kids were 2 and 3 when WM I aired.

I gave in to my husband and ordered him the Network. Since we saved $60 a month by changing cable company/ISP, one month's savings gets him 6 months of the network.
He has the Win 8 laptop we needed for providing his mom tech support set up as his streaming device. Wired to the south living room switch, HDMI cable from the laptop to the big screen TV.

Yeah, it's raining here (finally). Of course, with the schedule of events in this region this weekend, you knew Mother Nature wasn't going to play nice. This weekend in the Metroplex, we have:
NCAA Final Four NASCAR Duck Commander 500 at Texas Motor Speedway Springsteen playing at Reunion Park in Dallas - free concert
Best place to be this weekend? At home.

Yeah, the NASCAR start was rained out. They're trying to dry out the track right now, but weepers in the track are giving them fits. If the race goes off tonight, it'll be on Fox Sports 1.

Wrestlemania 30 Drinking Game
OK… It’s time to play the game… THE DRINKING GAME! (must be 18 proof or over to play) Take a shot every time: 1. Someone says it’s “The Showcase of the Immortals”. 2. An Internet Darling Gets Buried. 3. A Legend who isn’t really a Legend shows up. 4. Hogan says “the Network created the Universe. No, the Universe created the Network. No, you can buy the Universe for 9.99 a month. Oh, why didn’t I study for this, brother???” 5. Batista looks like he needs an oxygen mask. 6. Your friend is ahead of you in guessing the results. 7. There’s a musical act you never asked for. 8. You start talking about how you’ll never watch Raw if Bryan loses. 9. There’s a backstage segment with midcarders playing with wrestling dolls. 10. You can’t resist the urge to think “OMG, this is where Punk is going to show up!!” 11. Your WWE Network stream is buffering. 12. Your illegal video stream is buffering.

Get a Roku dongle. $15 more than Chromecast, comes with a remote and is known to support the Network. Amazon.com sells it.

And it starts at my house:
Los Matadores comes out to the "OLE!" and the kid yells from the kitchen "Oy VEY!"

I'm watching the network via IE11 on a HP laptop and there was no sound issues here. Must be related to using a "device".
Smart assed, geeky kid: Upon hearing Los Matadores were eliminated from the fatal 4 way for the belts, she responded "Los Matadores have left the library. Los Matadores have been saved".

Rybaxel has been eliminated. This saves us from any more of Ryback's Cheetos dust colored singlet.
