15. Downloading A Match? Enjoy Your Weekend!
These days, the WWE Network offers hundreds of hours of pro wrestling action, instantly. Programming loads with incredible speed, meaning that wrestling fans can now watch what they want, when they want to watch it. Word it like that to people in the 90's, and they'd wow and gush over promises of the future! Back in the day, all folks had if they wanted to watch matches on their computer, was something like the file-sharing program BitTorrent. Downloading full-length matches could take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on your connection speed, and the quality was largely horrible.
