If Sheamus/Bryan does happen this year, then they will have faced each other as many times at Wrestlemania in a 5 year period as Austin/Rock.

An Era Defined!

That's why Vince is smiling in that photo.

If he can keep that number up the company is turning around

 

[Deleted member 47027]

I guess Meltzer was right, the free month was super successful.

Dream, post if you're ok.

"Cumulatively"

 

[Tawney Bomb]

Vince will just say Reigns brought the number above one million, makes sense.

 

[BronsonLee]

That's not PG at all.

. These results represent a 37 percent increase (24 percent domestically) in subscribers since last reported[1] at the end of third quarter 2014, driven primarily by a successful free November promotion, the launch of the service in the UK and significant additions for the Royal Rumble pay-per-view event.

So, it's dropping right back down after WM? They don't have that six month commitment anymore.

I wonder how much the international rollout makes up the increase.

 

[Toki767]

I don't want to call BS on that Network number, but I doubt there are 1 million concurrent users subscribed at the moment.

I keep re-reading the press release, trying to make sure their wording isn't hiding anything. I feel carny shenanigans are afoot.

I can somewhat buy it given the expansion into the UK. The North American number might well be static or decreasing and opening things up in the UK could account for the spike.

Oh you can be sure the numbers are arranged in the most flattering way possibly. I remember their other release saying "INCREASE IN SUBSCRIBERS!!!" and never mentioning they had also lost 250k subscribers so the gain was minimal.
That's just standard corporate stuff.

Explain to me the point of this pre-order/pre-load shit I did for Grim Fandango when I can't even play it despite it being done downloading.

UK had to have boosted numbers.

Sure people could use VPNs but a ton of fans

If you did it on a Sony system they fucked you and you gotta re download.

People who cancel are still paid for the month. Those subs disappear at the end of said month.

WWE shareholders are welcoming in the new Roman Reigns era with enthusiasm.

I'd like to see the Network numbers a month from now once the people who cancelled after the Rumble are taken into account

How many do you think actually cancelled?

I have literally no idea or way of knowing.

WWE Network was the #1 2nd generation subscription service for live first-run predetermined sports-related entertainment in the the continental United States for the month of January.

If they do more stuff like WWE/24 they will have my money.

I'd love to see the backstage reactions to takers loss the time that goes into everything.

They won't be reporting the numbers then. They'll report them after the Mania sign-ups, though.

Taking previous subscribers' "stick-to-it-iveness" <1%

I just think the social media blew the whole cancel thing out of proportion.

Meltzer said as much last night.

If the #CancelWWENetwork trending activity actually correlated with substantial cancellation traffic and not a bunch of fans crying but still paying, we'd have probably gotten a different RAW yesterday.

I deleted it and can't re-download it now. In the store it just says "Start" and it's an endless loop of nothing now.

I think WWE's ineptitude has all but numbed from getting worked up about any other company's blunders.

Now here is the question:

Is Roman Reigns worth it? Is his potential image worth this over a more compelling wrestling match up?

 

[Ithil]

They're doing another free month in February, to end after Fast Lane but before WM.
Those obvious work as far as getting subscribers, but of course, there is the matter that they are in fact, free for everyone. So you can only use that tactic so many times.

 

[somedevil]

lmao if you think it was a ton of people that cancelled after the Rumble

Yep from Pwinsider:

While the #CancelWWENetwork hashtag was trending last night and most of today, WWE sources indicate that while there were some customers who canceled their subscriptions due to the Royal Rumble, it wasn't such a large amount that WWE considers it a significant number internally.

 

[Deleted member 47027]

It's FAR easier to type #cancelwwenetwork than it is to go without your favorite wrestling shows.

Been watching 2014 NXT because I was too lazy to find the rest of it so I started when the Network did.

This is a pretty decent show all in all. My two favorite things about it though are the theme and the voice over guy.

But the Ascension? They're the best thing in NXT.

Whats the chance HHH or steph mention on next RAW how little that hash tag actually meant
