Maybe your feed for NXT Takeover: Brooklyn was spotless, a perfect HD heaven of developmental wrestling. But this households feel was spotty at best, buffering repeatedly and the quality dropping from HD to standard definition at random points. And it looks like the issue wasnt limited to just one household. On the WWE Networks Facebook page, several users complained of buffering issues, fuzzy picture and even being booted from the show and back to the main menu. Several people pointed out that they have been subscribers since the beginning of the Network and are tired of these problems. Transmission issues with the WWE Network have cropped up periodically for the 18-month-old service, and it doesnt help with subscription woes if those who have been there since the beginning are throwing their hands up in the air. After more than a year, WWE should have the bugs worked out. There are bound to be problems from time to time, but its truthfully unacceptable at this point. All youre doing is p***ing off your most dedicated fans. If the issues persist with SummerSlam Sunday after billing it as the WrestleMania of the summer, WWE could find themselves with the kind of press they certainly dont want.
