It's ten loving dollars a month and if anyone can sit there and tell me that between stuff like Countdown, WrestleMania Rewind, a metric assload of VOD, and a PPV every month isn't good value for $10, well then I guess I just don't understand the value of a dollar. Like, people being frustrated with WWE's booking is totally understandable, but there's this undertone that the Network is a terrible ripoff or something, which is baffling to me.

Anyway, not super hyped for this PPV, but predicting Rollins/Ambrose alone will be worth my :10bux: and there's a bunch of other stuff that could be good too so let's do this!

the same reason you wouldn't buy a PPV if you weren't satisfied with the product?

Yeah I guess my point is it's a difference of $35-$45 a month based on the traditional model and with the archives and everything it's a little disingenuous to suggest that spending ten bucks a month on the Network is the same thing as buying PPVs in the traditional model.

Voting with your wallet is totally cool, but I find it silly to act like WWE is bilking people out of money.

i want it to be a success too and i generally like WWE but nobody should feel obligated to reward mediocre booking because it doesn't encourage WWE to change anything. We have a specific thread for discussing this sort of thing so lets get back on topic and talk about what food people are eating and misspelling john cena's name (john sena)

i like how hot the crowd initially is for Big Show knocking out Randy Orton before they just totally deflate and realize how the show is ending with him staring down brad loving maddox

I assumed they were going for "AJ and Paige do the frenemies thing until Paige snaps in frustration and beats the poo poo out of AJ making her full-on heel". It looked like it was going in that direction and that would've been the end of the match or at least afterwards but... I guess not.

They'll probably do it Monday.
