Big Dave is a good news source but when it comes to his reviews and what he did/didn't like I very often disagree with him. The Cena/Cesaro match was great and if he had a problem with it then whatever. Not gonna affect my opinion.

So are we saying that ~670,000 was with ~140,000 trial users that didn't actually pay? And the new ~700,000 figure is without those counted so it's actually about ~170,000 new subscribers since the last number? Now the interesting point is whether that counts trial only subscribers from this period.

Tokyo Slutty Gal posted:So accounting for the cancellations they got like 160k signups over the 3 month period? How does that compare to how many domestic PPV buys they got over the same period last year? That's not really a good thing to compare at all.

Interesting note from Big Davequote:The cutbacks are so significant that they now feel they can break even on 500,000 subscribers in 2015 as opposed to 1.4 million subscribers and at 1.5 million subscribers they will have OIBDA of $100 million to $120 million, which is more than they had pre-network.

This is wonderful. I posted it earlier in the thread but of course it got lost due to Network chat. People really need to see it.

Shows like Countdown or Wrestlemania Rewind or Monday Night War would cost like nothing to make. Shows like Legends House or Tough Enough would. You'll be see more of the former and less of the latter.

Here's the update on Canada from Davequote:Regarding Canada and the Rogers deal, an update from our audio is that there will be no Internet component of the WWE network in Canada at first. It will be strictly a television station distributed by Rogers. It will be available through Rogers cable. Other cable providers in Canada will have it offered and will have to go through Rogers for the fights. The live stream will air the same as everywhere else. There will be a video-on-demand component but it have less content that the streaming network library. Exactly what will be available is not known yet. The plan is to introduce the network on the Internet at some point in 2015.

D Lambent posted:I'm not sure if this has been covered completely, but when is a reasonable ETA for all of the Nitros and Thunders to be added to the Network? Everything points to Nitro/Thunder being posted just like Raw is now. Starting chronologically and adding new episodes every day/week. Raw started at 1993 when the Network started and a new episode has been added almost every day since. We're in mid 1995 now. The thought is that once we hit the same showings as when Nitro was on we'll see Nitros start going up at the same time. But that's just speculation right now. They also have a Best of Raw and Best of Smackdown show that airs some of the greatest episodes randomly. Cardboard Box posted:nope, and it's the biggest problem with the Network right now. they have every WWE, WCW, and ECW pay-per-view up and they're adding episodes of ECW Hardcore TV and Raw from the early 90s but they skip episodes and release them out of order and it's generally a mess. Well they skip around on the ECW stuff some. The Raws are thus far complete and in order, except for the Best of showings. D Lambent posted:So it looks like Nitros will start to be added within the next few months. Really tempting to go with the Network now, in time for Summerslam, and pray that more WCW content is added soon. Everything so far is uncut with a few exceptions. Music has been edited due to music rights. That's unavoidable. There are a few things where the home video release or old 24/7 was uploaded just to get the content up while the original was being digitized. A lot of the ECW stuff was like this at first. Most of those have already been fixed now. X-O fucked around with this message at 03:26 on Aug 1, 2014 |

Raw and Smackdown will never ever ever ever ever be live on the Network. Unless cable television completely goes away.

D Lambent posted:Not a deal breaker and I'm not looking for them to make a tribute to him because he ended up being a psychopathic, brain damaged loving nutjob, but what benefit is there to editing out references towards him re: Network content? I'm surprised they kept him in any of the content at all, though. Because while you don't hide the fact that one of your wrestlers was a psychopath that murdered his family you also don't advertise that fact.

I'm going to agree with someone who earlier in the thread talked about Drax in Guardians of the Galaxy. I just saw the movie. It was pretty much great and he's one of, if not the, best parts of it. The Leviathan done well.

Dean Ambrose's theme is as good as Cesaro's is bad.
