Casey Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I could even see them panic and run with something like Rollins vs Cena instead of Rollins vs Reigns at Mania. for what it's worth, the house shows following Night of Champions has Rollins/Cena for the strap as the main event.

thee Reverend Axl Future Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Has there been any word yet from Meltzer/WWE on how the boys will get paid from PPV revenue to compensate for the Network eating buys? This is a huge issue. - RAF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dre013 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Wait, people actually subscribed for current content? Yes content. Not reddit poster ILoveNXT booking the next six months with zero logic outside of "Kevin Dunn sucks". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Since we're already two teams deep, where can we start speculation/ fantasy booking teams for King of Trios?3 teams deep, and make a thread? Works for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Wait, people actually subscribed for current content? half of the subs were from WM weekend. There's only been about 160K subs since and many cancellations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Wilson Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Such a silly argument. You can get a fruit basket delivered to your house every month for $10. If you don't like fruit, do you order it anyway because it is 'just 10 dollars?' If someone isn't enjoying the service, why would they pay for it just because they could? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brisco Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I think Victator is talking about people who want the service but would rather go through other channels to avoid paying for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Well they should like it more. There's good stuff on the show currently. Yeah, a lot of bad too, but enough good to easily be worth $10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Wilson Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Course I speak as someone that just cancelled mine, but only until Survivor Series so I can get it through WM again. Just not really interested in the next few PPVs and it will give them time to add more content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brisco Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 There is a lot of the PPV's and SNME/COC's that I have not seen so the Network is more than worth it for me. Getting the PPV's I was not ordering along with the archives is like icing on the cake, crappy product or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume someone ordered it because they are a wrestling fan. I don't see how a wrestling fan could not love this and find value in it. I have been gorging on it for days at a time and am still finding new stuff. And I know how much trouble it is to cancel a Paypal commitment and cancel a bank account. A lot of trouble to avoid paying ten bucks a month. These cheap fucks are also responsible for the 9.99 shit on all WWE programming now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 What kills me is that every last fucking one of them will still have no issue with going and stealing the ppvs they are bitching about. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Wilson Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Well I will agree that doing the paypal/bank account thing is rather excessive and a lot of hassle to get out of the contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hollywood Cibernetico Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 What is the deal with people going to so much trouble to get out of paying ten dollars a month? Earlier today I was thinking about how some fans want to be seen as smart and so they adopt the 'suppose tos' of being a good/smart wrestling fan. WZ did a poll a while ago and one of the questions was something along the lines of 'How much are you willing to spend on a good PPV product?" The MAJORITY of those that answered the poll stated that they would be willing to pay 30 dollars. This is that 'suppose to' shit. The bottom line is that everyone in the world - rich or poor- love good deals and if they can get something for less- why pay more? We aren't talking about a pair of Nikes vs a paie of shoes made out of dry mud. We are talking about WrestleMania for 10 dollars vs. WrestleMania for 50 dollars. SummerSlam for 10 dollars vs. SummerSlam for 30 dollars. Its the same program. Same product. Why would someone want to pay more? Never underestimate what some fans will do to try and get themselves over online as a good/smart wrestling fan. Some fans will scream about how the internet is killing wrestling (which is another topic in-and-of itself: How 40,50,and 60 year old con men successful conned members of Generation X and Me into believing the internet is a bad thing) all the while watching a torrent in the privacy of their own home while bitching about PPV prices on forums, stating they want to pay 30 dollars in polls, and then finding ways to weasel out of paying 10 dollars a month. I know a low of 'lower class' people watch pro wrestling- but come the fuck on? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zakk_Sabbath Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Like a lot of us, I more or less subscribe to the Network for the library, but there's really no argument to be made for streaming PPVs for free when you can get them for 1/6th of the price that the cable company charges and support WWE as content creators at the same time. Regardless of how I feel about the current WWE scene, the advent of the Network is exciting as hell to me just as a content delivery method. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I'm a wrestling fan, but I don't need to keep paying $9.99 a month because I am one or to prove that I am one. If it comes down to it, and $10 helps out with a grocery bill or something else, then the grocery bill or something else is more important, and I'll just have to be happy with reading about the PPV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victator Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I don't get the people who get it for current PPVs. Who gives a shit about that when you have every SNME, Clash and PPV ever along with a buncha TV and house shows. I wish they would get their ass in gear getting up stuff like the NWA Saturday Night show and the full library of MSG/Boston and Philly house shows. But current PPVs sucking should not even enter the equation. For me it is not the people who do not renew. It is the big spenders canceling thru paypal and closing bank accounts just to avoid ten dollars a month for six months. Those people are ruining it for everybody.
