No major issues to report with the WWE Network and to be honest the stream and picture quality was almost perfect for the entire night.
And according to the WWE this morning the WWE Network subscriber base bolstered by WM 30 has reached 667,287 and they are well on their way to reaching 1 million subscribers by the end of 2014.
Aside from the Divas match all the matches were good and kept the 75 plus thousand in attendance glued to the their seats. The show overall had a good flow right from the get go and the opening with Hogan, Austin, and The Rock really helped kick off the show right. Looks like the WWE exceeded some expections tonght and took their entire audience on a wild ride of emotions the entire card. The Taker loss truly stunned the crowd . It was revaled this morning that The Undertaker was injured early on the match and suffered some sort of head injury, yet the match and planned finish still went off. Taker was taken to a local New Orleans hospital after the match for observation.
The WWE started off a great weekend with a Star Studded 2014 Hall Of Fame class with new inductees The Ultimate Warrior, Razor Ramon (Scott Hall), Jake The Snake Roberts, Carlos Colon, Lita, Paul Bearer, and Mr. T who went on for well over 30 minutes in his induction speech talking about his Mom only to be yanked by Kane to cut him off.
Tonight’s Raw should be the best in a long time with a possible Sting debut, Bryan with the WWE Title, and possible Taker announcement.
