Rokfin

Connected my laptop to the TV with an HDMI cord as I'm visiting my parents and they aren't set up like I am at home. Was watching both mats at the same time and only had a couple of short drops during the 6 hours I was watching.

Rokfin's payment management is completely F'd. Couldn't for the life of me get any form of payment through yesterday. Managing credit cards is hilarious, you can keep adding new ones (it accepts duplicates unknowingly) but you cannot delete. Who designs a cost structure which requires a monthly subscription as a prerequisite to a one-time PPV cost?

Looking at the body of content that has filled the platform since I was first introduced to it last fall makes me glad they won't accept my cash. Seems like every fringe lunatic that got booted from youtube has made it their home. Genuinely hope PSU comes short of their financial aspirations on this effort so we don't get more of it.

Sorry, if it was mentioned. How did people get both matches on the same screen yesterday? I am not computer illiterate, but for the life of me couldn’t figure it out. I had to have two separate browsers open side by side.
 
I understand the Flo hate, but it looks like it was covered extensively on FRL. I don’t really watch/listen to that anymore, but the title of today’s episode is a recap of day 1 and a preview of day 2.

I have to think FRL is their number one program on their site given the “talent” that is on the show.

Edit: they also have all the box scores right there on the main page.

Not getting more Rokfin means getting less NLWC and possibly PSU coverage. It worked fine for me and most people. Did you contact support@rokfin.com?

I believe that is how people did it.
 
FLO dedicated their entire program today to the Dual Tournament and the matches. All 3 announcers watched every match and talked about all the important matches. Give credit where it is due
they had an article last week with predictions. Regardless, my biggest complaint against flo, and have voiced it, is they should find a way to cover all wrestling events.
 
Looking at twitter, this event had 6k+ PPV buys. Thats actually not to bad.
 
I never had any problem with the stream going down, freezing up, any issues logging in or purchasing the event. The only complaint I would have is that the announcer for the PSU matches wasn’t to my liking. I do think some who post on here with complaints may not be as adept with technology as some others. I’m not saying that’s the case with all of the complaint, just that there could be user error in some cases.
 
Great Event. Wrestling was amazing. I love Corby & Cliff --- Cliff is perfect for 12 hours of matches... it was smart to double them up for the main events.

Only feedback would be the random crowd shots in the middle of matches were awkward.

How about the camera following Kerk into the hallway while they were patching him up? I was praying he would get within an arm's length of Cael. It would have been more entertaining than the match.

Great event by Rokfin, Stream was great, payment was easy, camera placement great!
Announcer's, however, were obnoxious! I turned down the volume most of the event.

I know Rokfin is flawless around these parts (and I hate Flo as much as the next guy), but Cliff went off the rails Monday night to an embarrassing extent.
I'd just like to point out again, that Rokfin did NOT put on this event. Frank Popolizio, aka Journeyman hired a camera crew, asked a couple of buddies to commentate for free (Corby, Cliff, and Willie), chose to charge a ppv on top of the Rokfin subscirption, and distributed the live stream using using the tools Rokfin provides. Overall, a pretty successful event. I get that it's easier to try and compare Rokfin to Flo--but it's pretty different. You get way more variation of production standards, etc, on Rokfin, because it's up to you to make your own event.
 
The dude was there for 12 hours straight Monday and still had a ton of energy. I’ll take a passionate/knowledgeable announce every time.
I thought him and Corby were great.

This.

I used JB's audio for the PS duals and these guys for most of the others. If we are honest with ourselves, JB, who is very passionate and knowledgeable, has a tendency to wander a bit off the rails at times; but most of us accept (and love?) that about him. So why not the same with these guys? I for one, welcome their approach.

Which is nice, because they don’t have to take any blame for the issues.
 
I complained about the announcer on crack Monday, but thought it was much better last night with the two of them announcing.

Appreciate all the kind words. I love commentating and want to do more of it. In October I did Stalemates which was my first time it was a blast. My first ever time I got to work with Nate Carr. And in FL I got to announce many D1 teams. Being a fan of the sport my whole life and 47 now this has been so fun someone pinch me
 
My video froze up for about 4-7 second spurts while the audio kept going..

Even when I watch the replay it does it in the same spots which leads me to believe it was in the feed and not my set up..

Was few and far between except for the ASU match where it was happening about 2-3 times per match. It got annoying as was missing takes downs etc and then it would jump forward to live action.

Speaking of Rokfin though.. Anyone know how to get Willie’s podcast? I used to watch it but now can’t seem to find it on Matscouts anymore?

Try the Live Streams button instead of the Podcasts button.
