    Network for me, too. Kinda wishing I hadn't canceled my subscription. I have it until the end of the month but won't have it for 'Mania. Apparently they say they'll have the rewind/pause/play from beginning options set up at some point before SummerSlam, but I doubt it'll be before Wrestlemania, which sucks.

    Nobody will have it for Mania. The Network will be gone before Mania for U.S. subscribers, regardless of if you've already ended your subscription. It'll be Peacock (and customary PPV) or nothing.

    Also, there was not a hole in the mat afterward and they didn't have a half hour intermission to clear out a huge lighting rig from ringside.

    Watched on Peacock. It was OK, but I'd rather have the Network.

    It was a pain in the ass to sign up, though. I filled out the spaces, but accidentally put in an extra letter in my email address. They kept wanting me to confirm through my email, but I couldn't. So I had to set up a new email address, which the confirmation did not even go through. I finally had to do a Chat with a Peacock representative (heh), and had the guy change the email address to my regular one. A half hour or so of my life down the drain.

    Watched on the Network, but did catch a couple of minutes on Peacock as well. We have Xfinity/Comcast cable, which apparently includes a Peacock subscription. I flipped to it on a different TV just to make sure it was there.

    I still have Comcast so I have Peacock on the TV, my main complaint/worry is losing the ability to watch when I want.

    I never have the shows on when they begin and if I have to wait until they’re over to start its going to put a huge dent in the experience. I may not even bother if Mania’s 4 hours and I cant start either night until after 11

    Asuka and Rhea is going to be money, but I'm still anticipating them trying to shoehorn Charlotte in there somehow.

    Oh lord. Shane McMahon is going to fly off the pirate ship at Raymond James, isn't he?

    WWE's countdown of the top 50 women of the modern era is a good watch, but it'll definitely be opened to some debate.

    But at least Nia Jax was only #36.

    So the top ten in some order have to be the horsewomen, trish and lita, nikki bella, nattie asuska and?

    Alexa Bliss has a million titles, AJ Lee had the longest reign with the old title. Would they put Mrs Punk in the top 12?

    Haven't gotten that far (the network only has 50-21 right now), but the Bellas are #26 as a unit, followed by Io Shirai and Luna Vachon.

    I'll give them credit. This is a pretty decent list. Even includes the likes of Bull Nakano, and those who might be persona non grata, like Gail Kim.

    They consider "modern era" as early 90s on, so no Mae or Moolah, Wendi Richter, etc.
