He's also right because if two shows are going against each other, when something bad is happening on one show you can flip to the other, so you get to see the best hours possible instead of going 'ugh just finish this segment already'. Plus of course that competition inherently benefits the workers. rare Magic card l00k fucked around with this message at 20:08 on Jul 29, 2014 |

Roman Reigns's problem is (and is going to be down the road) that he's perceived as a guy who WWE wants, and thus no matter how good he is he'll get crapped on by the same people who chant CM Punk at WWE World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan for not crippling himself. See also: These kinds of fans still hold 18 seconds against Sheamus even though that was easily the best thing to happen for Daniel Bryan's WWE career until WM30.

I, for one, hope WWE gives this young upstart Real Estate Steve (or as WWE followers might know him, Sting) a legitimate chance to succeed.

The_Rob posted:Can someone explain why this number is atrocious? Over half a million in 6 months for a product this niche sounds pretty drat good. Especially considering it is attempting am entirely new way to do live events. Other than they thought more people would join why is this the worst number ever? How does 33,000 since Wrestlemania sound to you? That's with these numbers being before anyone who is trying to cancel legit can do so.

triplexpac posted:The closest comparison to this is UFC Fight Pass. They know they are a niche product, they expect low subscriber numbers, and now they're pleasantly surprised when things are going better than they thought (still way less than WWE Network Subscribers) UFC isn't killing their PPV revenue to put together Fight Pass though. The two aren't even remotely comparable.

Really though, the reason this number is so terrible is the almost complete lack of growth combined with the fact that international PPV numbers have been hit very hard, meaning that the international expansion of the Network probably won't do too much for the product. It's not just 700,000 subscribers being below what they want, it's 700,000 subscribers with not all that much room to grow, and once again, this is before anybody who isn't finding a way to sneak out of their commitment can cancel, so this could easily be the peak number until WM31.
