I think running ads during PPVs hurt the experience
I dont get ads, during LIVE ppv, but I also pay $10 month. The only ads are just the normal promos wwe runs in between matches.

What i hate tho, is they put pause/ad marks after matches on every old ppv, RAW, etc. Even tho I don't have commercials, the program will go dark for about 1 sec and then come back. Just really ruins the viewing.

My thing is, if they can go thru every show and put an after match break, then they can put in match markers so we can skip.

The only positives of Peacock, one is that the stream is more reliable, which is actually a huge positive. The old network buffered all the time and had issues.

And the fast forward function can go super fast. I guess that helps with not having match markers.

The consistency of the stream, the ability to rewind and ffwd if you join late, the general UI and navigation are all inferior to WWE Network. Peacock is trash.

Yeah, breh. What streaming device are you using? That could make a difference. Bc I couldn't rewind the live stream on my firestick, but could on my roku TV. (it's actually been fixed now tho on firestick as well to rewind/ff)

The old network buffered on old ppvs/shows as well as live ppvs. On my peacock it doesn't buffer at all on the archived stuff, only occasionally on the live ppvs. I have far less issues.

Also, the other WOAT part about peacock is the search is complete trash. On the old network typing in Randy Savage would pull up all his matches, on Peacock it may pull 1 or 2 matches and then a documentary. Piss poor.

I am using a chromecast that is connected to a high end router on Google FIOS. My connection is a nonissue. It still lags in the beginning of a PPV and has inconsistent resolution often. IDK if that impacts the rewind issue but either way its peacock's fault if that is the case.

The search and UI for peacock are absolute trash...i'm still mad about their abhorrent olympic coverage.

My gf has chromecast tv and it has peacock on there. There aren't many features it has native to chromecast.

I find that my roku tv has the most features of Peacock, like 5.1 surround, non intrusive captions, rr/ff live stuff. Firestick has caught up tho.

Still don't understand why wwe didnt or couldn't just port everything over like match markers.

Also, I HATE seeing ppv labeled as "seasons". That's just stupid and lazy

I'm still on the network, but i noticed instead of saying "PPV" for all the ppv's, it says "Premium"? Lame lmaoo

Anyway, I deleted my subscription... The old lady and I watched everything WWE from November 99 to Backlash '04. But we legit lost interest once rock and Austin stopped wrestling, and once HHH reign of terror was in full swing smhh

Was fun tho, might re subscribe later down the line
