So as some people might have noticed over the past 13-14 months that I've been with this forum board, I'm more of an attitude/ruthless aggression era fan. That is what I grew up on, after all lol.

My favorite thing to do on the network is to look for the ppvs in that time frame. There's just something so genuine and natural feeling about those times that today's product will never achieve. Atleast not in the near future. There is some potential, but it's all in the creative teams hands.

I'm currently watching Backlash 2004, and watched Unforgiven 2006 just the other day. Both good events. Right now it's on Randy Orton vs mick foley no holds barred match. Just saw a pretty brutal match. (Just finished as I typed that. Good job orton). That slam onto the thumb tacks for orton looked nasty as hell. And then slammed from the stage onto the table below still with a few dozen tacks in his back. Then he came back and smashed Foley with barbie a few times. And picked up the win. Fuckin eh.

So my question is, where the hell can I find all/most of the ppvs between 97 and like 07? I discontinued viewing sometime in early 2005 but unforgiven 06 was pretty friggin good too. And the network only has a limited amount of ppvs. I don't know if it's because I have the Canadian version, if it's different, or if the network lacks alot for everyone?

Yikes, if they are not on your version of the Network, you might have a really hard time finding them. Buying copies of them or getting them on the Network is really the only options WWE doesn't shut down. WWE is rather good about shutting down any other outlet for their product. The US version has all of the pay per views... I think I read that one or two might be missing but other than that, they have them all.

I was about to try the proxy server but thought wait it's through my cable provider. Would it still work?

Possibly. Other services like Netflix check only for IP location and nothing else, WWE Network might do the same.

If you are willing to pay a few quid places like CEX, Charity Shops and the like always have WWE/F dvds about for a few quid. I got WM 20 for a fiver not that long back.

I figured this bitch out! Thank god! Omg I'm a happy man. It took a few attempts to login to the wwe network online, I just had to link my cable account to the network on my pc and voila! Every ppv. Now I can relive my childhood one amazing show at a time! I'm so happy right now. Unfortunately I have to be up in 7 hours for work now. I'm going to be spending many hours on this shit from now on though.

Congrats! That's really what I love about the network the most. I get to watch all of these old ppvs and it is so much like it was when I originally watched them. Enjoy :)

I tend to love going back to the Saturday Night's Main Event and the New Generation era a lot. The first PPV I ever bought, I believe, was Royal Rumble 1993. I also just love watching Rumble matches. They're usually pretty great.

aha Summerslam '92 myself

Ah, I'm envious. You got to see that awesome Bret Hart vs British Bulldog match live then. What a great match. I also never had a chance to see Rick Martel wrestle live and he was one of my all time favorites
