World Wrestling Entertainment made the
announcement that the WWE Network would be free for the month of
November. Being a fan of WWE since I was eight and being on a serious
budget, I decided to take advantage and here's what I have to say.
The WWE network is an awesome streaming service and is well worth the
price of $9.99 a month. If you have the money to burn, I highly
recommend it to any fan of wrestling but if you're on a serious
budget like me, enjoy it while it lasts. It's a great opportunity to
remember the glory days of wrestling.
The WWE network has enough hours of
wrestling material to last two lifetimes with it's endless content.
The content ranges from old episodes of it's longest running series,
Monday Night Raw to it's newest show NXT. It also has
episodes of other wrestling promotions such as World Championship
Wrestling and my personal favorite, Extreme Championship Wrestling.
It also comes with original series created by the wrestling promotion
like Legends House and Countdown.
The biggest draw in for me which is a steal is you can watch Pay Per
View events new and old from WWE and the previous promotions just
mentioned.
I've
grown up watching wrestling, truth be told. I wanted to be a wrestler
at some point because I admired The Undertaker a.k.a. Mark Calaway
because he made the audience believe he was truly a being from beyond
the grave. The way he wrestled, his promos, and finisher (The
Tombstone Pile driver) were something to truly behold to me. My
favorite scene was when he was facing Mick Foley or Mankind at the
time during a Buried Alive Match, I was too young to know the tricks.
At the end of the match, the Undertaker was buried alive but then a
bolt of lighting struck his tombstone and his hand came out of the
grave.
That
was it for me but then as time went on, I did my research and saw how
difficult it was to have the life of a wrestler and I couldn't make
the commitment demanded by the industry. Always being on the road,
starting out making no money, and constantly putting your body on the
line. It's a very hard business to get into and harder to be
successful at, so I stayed on the sidelines always watching.
Sometimes I like to think I could write for the company but at this
point, who knows what's going on behind the scenes. That's what makes
the WWE Network so special, it brings back those old feelings of
amazement when you watch old Pay Per Views starring The Undertaker,
The Rock, Hulk Hogan or the leader of the Attitude Era, Stone Cold
Steve Austin.
Choosing
the life of a writer, I have a very limited budget due to several
obligations and I have to make sacrifices. I'm afraid that I'm one of
those people that will take advantage of a free month of something
and never intend to use it. However, when I eventually hit it big
with one of my books via contracts or sales, I will definitely be
continuing my subscription to the WWE Network. I've had it for two
days and I can honestly say that it's been a real treat to renew some
old memories and witness new ones. So if anyone is a fan of
wrestling, take advantage of this opportunity because once November
ends, you either have to cut it out of our budget like me or you lose
out on a great deal.
