MassRafTer posted:UFC is able to bring in hundreds of thousands of subscribers with their back catalog and C shows. WWE should be able to run a profitable online subscription service with their back catalog and NXT specials. It would be more difficult because they went with the PPV model first, but in theory people have shown a willingness to pay for that kind of service. (They aren't changing the Network model this year.) Do you think they could even go back to a PPV model if they wanted to though at this point? Selling PPVs at $50 after a year of a very hard sell of telling people to buy them at $10 sounds like it could end in disaster.

Selling PPVs at $50 after a year of a very hard sell of telling people to buy them at $10 sounds like it could end in disaster. They'd probably lose some buys, but if you have no other choice but to order the PPV again to see the show, people would do it. All the archival footage is all well and good, but when you establish a network, you need original programming to get people hooked and sustain it. The only thing I can think of that's original/exclusive is Legends House, a 10 episode series shot two years ago. The countdown shows don't count, because really, it's just more archival footage. And they seem to have already given up on pre/post shows for RAW and Smackdown for the most part (not that they have much to add.) I know all that stuff costs money, but hey, I'd rather watch, say, Adam Rose host a bizarre talk show than beat Damien Sandow for the tenth time in as many seconds on RAW.

If they had called it "WWE Vault" and weren't hung up on the dream of having their own original TV "network," they wouldn't be stuck the way they are.

I'll miss Ricardo, but being on the Spanish commentary table was like having him halfway gone already when you think about it. We'll always have his Royal Rumble elimination.

Because mobile phone cameras typically have lenses in the 5-8mm range which distort the edges like buggery and makes the perspective look jacked, which becomes more pronounced the closer the subject is and the further the background is. Just lovely optics.
