Right so - when I went to watch Collision at 1am on the Fite stream, with 5 seconds to go it told me the stream would be on at 2am instead. I could see from Tumblr that it sure was live on other broadcasting services, or American tv, so I checked out quickly - but knowing it was live, I kept taking a look at the stream to see if it would suddenly wise up. And the chat suggested there were things happening - the only time I’ve ever been glad Fite automatically opens that for me. People were saying if they refreshed it said it was on in 25 hours, or 49 - so I thought maybe, if I kept refreshing, I might get a stream that was live.
Kept refreshing and I for sure got those 24-48 hour countdowns, but no livestream. Then it suddenly said it was on in 40 seconds - at 1.30am. Whoopee, I thought. Countdown ended, I clicked to play the stream - and got an error message. Refreshed again, got a few 23-47 hour messages - but finally, at about 1.33am, it offered me the stream. I clicked ‘start from the beginning’, and it said no, and gave me the live feed - and at that point I wasn’t going to mess with a good thing. It seemed to only be 3 minutes into the stream anyway - right at the end of MJF’s first match.
I watched it, on tenterhooks - and managed to get to the end with no bugs. Refreshed the page, asked the stream to start from the beginning, and after a few minor bugs it did - so I got to see the whole thing! Eventually. In weird pieces.
I can’t imagine what the problem was, they did change the dates this week, then pre-tape it and set it to broadcast live - and I got today’s Collision on my ‘upcoming Fite’ schedule before even Dynamite or Rampage this week. Which seemed weird and might have caused some issues. But they literally air pre-taped stuff every week, and act like it’s live, with Rampage so...can’t imagine why they suddenly had a problem. But clearly they did.
So...those were my adventures just attempting to watch wrestling tonight. Thankfully I was successful, and don’t have to avoid spoilers for 48 hours \o/\o/\o/\o/\o/
