Don't Care
Love my Rassling, but I don't even care about these TV Apps anymore since there are so many "gotchas" and subscriptions attached to them.

Numbers receive punctuation to let readers identify what the numbers represent:
(212) 555-1212 is used to identify phone numbers,
11/12/13 is used to identify dates,
$14.95 is used to identify money,
Numbers with periods identifies IP addresses.
Using IP address punctuation in an attempt to identify a date confuses people, and is used by pseudo creatives in an attempt to distinguish themselves. Well, it does just that. It makes them look like a distinguished idiot. It's called the dumbing down of America.
I see the same comments EVERY TIME new content is added to the Apple TV. People bitching about "APPLE WHY DON'T YOU LET US REMOVE APPLE TV ICONS!". Do people STILL not know you can do this in the Settings?!! It's like complaining that you can't change the wallpaper on an iPhone. Yes, yes, yes you can.
If you don't like the content (I personally don't care for wrestling) then just hide the icon. It's not hard and let's others enjoy what they like to watch.

There's people that pay $9.99 a month for some music subscription.
There's people that pay $9.99 every day or two for coffee.
See where I'm going, I'm sure you waste $9.99 a month on stuff other people think is crap.
It's funny how people use that word as a pejorative. When it shouldn't be.

Not necessarily. He may have been giving us his schedule for the evening. (in which case the punctuation is a mess)
It's harder than it should be. The Apple TV UI is definitely in need of an overhaul.
If the Apple TV is to be a success either as a TV set or as a set up box then it needs to gain as much content as possible.
Let's look at cable and sattieliette companies. They offer a wide range of different content, why? To appeal to different people and to as many people as possible. Unless the Apple TV offers similar then it will fail against these companies.
People have different viewing habits, even in families the viewing habits can be very different.

I think German might use periods since before IP addresses existed. Also, IPv4 addresses have 3 periods, not 2
The weird US date format forces anybody not wanting to be ambiguous to use letters or yyyy-mm-dd, the latter being only user friendly for file sorting.
Funny, I've been an AppleTV Owner since the beginning and just realized you can do this a few weeks ago
Now that I've hidden a lot of stuff, now I'm kind of like - well, maybe I should keep them because I MAY use them This will be the straw that breaks the camel's back. After this, people will revolt and demand Apple allow us to delete channels on Apple TV.
I was addicted to Caramel Apple Spiced for a month before I realized how insane I was to spend $10 a day on freaking APPLE JUICE. I know people at work who drink 3 cups of Starbucks a day. That's a LOT of wasted money.
I picture this:

Where A = Apple's target demographic
Where B = WWE's target demographic
Except imaging that there's about three inches between the two circles and they DON'T overlap.
Rubbish. I love Apple & I love WWF wrestling.
WWE or WFE whatever its called is so fake. The people that think it is real have a very low iq. Its so obvious in so many ways.
I lose brain cells just thinking of the people that think wresting is real.

Well they'll learn soon enough. But this thread isn't about whether or not wrestling is any good right now... it comes in waves. It may suck now but it might be good again 6 months from now.
Relax and calm down a bit.
All of Europe, as far as I know, uses the xx.xx.xxxx scheme do identify dates.
At least in central European countries: today is 03.02.2013 which is the same as 02/03/2014.
You need to realize that 95% of the world's population are NOT Americans. There are different ways of portraying the same thing. Relax!
9.99 a month gets you ALL the PPVs. WM alone will cost you $60, let alone the $45 you're not paying for if you get this deal.
You do the math... if you're a fan the only "gotcha" should be what you're saying when you are able to snag this deal.
I can't think of any company that could offer this much content for so little money.

I lose brain cells when I hear people like you think that people still think wrestling is real.
Wrestling has been called scripted drama for well over a decade, but this does show that you're pretty ignorant to the realities of the world.
Outside the USA, that date is the same as 03/02/2013.
Leave the periods alone for a unique format. No to fiddling.
No, I got it right, this is what Apple's customers wanted and Apple will be happy to serve it up. However, it's the white trash part that I don't want to be part of. Sorry I offended you and your crowd.
I didn't realize that this ad was for central European and not for USA viewing. Sorry.
Fake in what way? Sure the storyline is scripted, somethings like tables are made to break easy, etc. And the fight aspects of it like punches, kicks, etc are held back( obviously).
But, can't fake this fall.....
Though if people seriously think Undertaker has mysterious demonic powers, Kane is a monster from hell, Brock Lesnar is breaking peoples arms left and right, etc than yeah their IQ is pretty low. But, most of us know it's about entertainment and a lot of aspects of WWE is not real.
