Yeah. Basically WWE over-estimated the amount of people who still give a fuck about the product. Free PPVs or not. Today's rasslin' is not enough to keep old school fans around. A million subscribers was a tall order.

Well, if us Canadians had the US version of the Network, as well as UK not getting it yet when they should've, their subs might be closer to what they expected.

Thinking adding the PPVs to it was daft, you look at everything you're getting without the PPVs and most folk who got it probably still would have, you would still have the PPV money coming in but with the Network to fall back on if they needed it, even if they only got 3/400k subscribers its all profit essentially.

Most people wouldn't have paid $10 for just the back catalog of ppv and DVDs because its mostly available for free elsewhere.
What I figure will eventually happen is WWE will sell the streaming rights of everything but the ppvs to Hulu/Netflix and then sell the streaming ppvs themselves for $10. |

Damn I would mark out if ADR came back on RAW and cut a promo telling them he was taking over and brings out CM Punk(The era of Punk when he feuded with Mysterio with a mask on), Rey Mysterio, La Parka and Original Sin Cara and make it all shoot like. It would be pretty fresh

According to a mostly reliable source on Reditt, Maddox and Great Khali's releases were just the beginning of a bigger wave of releases. Just like last time, its tied into the recent disappointing Network subs announcement.
Edit: Never mind Maddox is still with the WWE, just selling his "firing" angle. Wave of firings still expected to occur though. Last edited by Emperor Smeat; 11-15-2014 at 02:01 AM. |

The Great Khali's WWE release has caused mass hysteria in India. Flags are at half mast and people are dancing in groups to sad bollywood songs.

Well, if it were a shoot I guess a Ladder Match against Mick Foley is probably the best scenario of the listed match types.
