I would if I had access to the network but as I live in Australia, I can't. The guys I use for PPV streams, RAW streams and what not might set up a 24/7 stream dedicated to the WWE Network. They'll probably charge a certain price a month but I'll probably get it. BigEvents TV - 720p HD, Live, No Lag or Shutdowns.

I asked Foxtel if they had any plans on getting the network, they said no.

Damn. It will probably take a few years before they would even consider it. Shame since they already show so much WWE footage each week you would think that the demand would be there.

Yup. RAW on Wednesday, NXT and Vintage Collection on Thursday, Superstars and Smackdown on Friday.

I just want to try and get them to show RAW live.

I don't think they will since 11am/12 Noon wouldn't be the highest drawing times. I wish that they pushed the show back at least an hour. Show it 4pm-6pm and 6pm-8pm, much better time to show it during the week. First viewing gets the students and second viewing for those that work.

I LOVE the idea for having WWE network. The possibles are endless what they can do with it. Here is what I hope they will do.

House shows (only big shows, MSG, other countries)
Monday Night Raw and Nitro from the start. Show EVERY show from the start.
Of course have their smaller PPVS shown.
Show every PPV. They can do it to hype up their current one.
-Example. Show all the Royal Rumbles the weekend of the current Rumble.
-Best matches from every Wrestlemania during Wrestlemania weekend.

I kinda hate they won't show any Chris Benoit footage at all. He has had some great matches during his time in WWE and WCW.

Benoit footage won't be shown mainly because they means they'd have to pay royalties. The same reason why a sparse amount of Owen Hart footage has been shown (of course in addition to endless lawsuits by Martha Hart).

I do like that WWE is trying to differentiate the channel by making "homemade" shows. Only one problem though:will Snuka choke a bitch on live television?

More Possible Legends' House Names
The Wrestling Observer is reporting that "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan, Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka and Sgt. Slaughter were all names on the original cast list for "WWE Legends' House" debuting on the WWE Network.

As reported previously, the confirmed stars of the show so far are "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, Dusty Rhodes, "Mean" Gene Okerlund and The Iron Sheik.

Doesn't mean they will be on the show but they were on the original cast list of the show as it said.

I personally cannot wait for this show, hopefully it's not heavily scripted and let it be something like Jersey Shore. Just let them loose and keep a few security guys/cops around in case of emergency.

I hope we can see some Shiek rants.

Just using their usual WWE alumni, great. They should go outside the box a little bit but I guess they probably plan on more seasons.

Think that's sarcasm, but why not? They are legends and the show is titled "Legends House".

Benoit footage won't be shown because he killed two people, has nothing to do with royalties.

Doesn't mean they will be on the show but they were on the original cast list of the show as it said.

I like the list of names so far and it should be a decent show considering they all know how to entertain and they can all create drama.

I'm saying I want a bit more variety.

More WWE Legends' House Taping Details; Location, Dates
MyDesert.com is reporting that WWE will be filming "Legends' House," which will debut on the upcoming WWE Network, in Rancho, Mirage, California, at the home of late "Marx Brother" Harpo Marx.

The home is located at Tamarisk Country Club, and the article notes that filming is expected to begin in February. The show will feature 8 cast members, including "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, The Iron Sheik, "Mean" Gene Okerlund and Dusty Rhodes. Other names have been rumored for the show, but this particular report specifically mentions the above names.

The show cannot be PG if Iron Sheiks in this.. We gotta hear him say "f*** hogan" atleast once!

One of these legends needs to try summon spirits in that house.

No but it's rumored that WWE Network won't be launching around WrestleMania anymore but sometime during Fall 2012.
