It helps a lot that it is all written by one guy and that guy isn't Vince McMahon. And that guy also doesn't know nothing about and/or despise wrestling.

WWE put these numbers out to work shareholders and as a fuck you to people that were using the #cancelwwenetwork hash tag. Numbers weren't supposed to be put out until next month and were supposed to be effective as of December. This number they put out isn't sustainable in any way.
This Rivalry is real!
When Cena dumps Nikki, she'll just jump to whatever team
At their mercy? lol. I'm not even thinking about it really. There are some games I buy because they go on sale and are rated well/liked. But next thing I know... they are free!
If I really wanted a game I'd do the next sensible thing.... price drop!
You guys worry too much about Sami Zayn, he'll be fine on the main roster. You know why? He's got the one thing Vince looks for. He connects with the audience on every level.
He might be Dolph Ziggler for a while on the main roster, but I feel like he's better on the mic than Dolph so he'll go farther.

is there like a "go to" team for people who don't know anything about Football?
like in the NHL anyone who wants to bandwagon a team usually goes for Chicago or Pittsburgh, is there a similar thing in the NFL?
Sami Zayn is basically a better looking, better talking, more marketable Daniel Bryan. He's the one guy I don't really worry about after he gets called up to the main roster because he's the one Vince will have to try the hardest to fuck up. The only reason I don't want him off of NXT is because NXT in general is a better show.
They should go back to the old mantra that the IC champion is the best worker in the company. Yeah, some will be able to move up, but if not...it should still be ok. But right now there is nothing like that anymore.
Honestly, the only thing Sami Zayn lacks to be a lock for main event status in WWE is a Hall Of Fame family.

That's my point. And you thinking or not thinking about it has nothing to do with whether you are at their mercy or not. You are by virtue of waiting on a game at all. The main point is that if you are willing to wait on a game, it might be on PS+ at some point. But looking at a game and thinking "I want to buy this, but I won't because at some point it might be free." seems silly to me.

It's weird that we didn't get a single NXT call up during the Rumble
Not really.....they have plenty of jobbers to fill spots, and call ups are after Mania typically.

So even though I only signed up the day before the rumble and cancelled an hour afterwards, my sub now runs into march
I guess everyone is getting the free month and not just new users and as my email for some reason called me, "early subscribers".
unless fast lane somehow sees reigns lose his title shot I can't say it's going to change much

The only "existing subscribers" getting a free month are those in the UK. US subscribers still have to pay for next month.
Its not surprising they nearly killed the Rusev character by doing that.
In other related news WWE because of the Network trial I signed up to for the Rumble I now don't have to pay until March.
Whatever team Peyton Manning is on, Tom Patriots or the Dallas Cowboys
The Chicago thing in the NHL is only recently. No one jumped on that bandwagon until after 2010
This Rivalry is real!
Look at Brie, sporting toe like never before
Cleveland Browns is the go to bandwagon team. America's favorite team if you will.
well, bandwagon teams are usually temporary depending on their current performance and starpower so that's that
just like the "lifelong kings fans since 2012"
Pittsburgh is only 5 years prior to that.

Pretty much. However Zayn seems like he has connections plus HHH likes the guy a ton, so that might make up for it.
In fact, I'm going to make this prediction - Sami Zayn is going to be the guy who permanently sends HHH into retirement
I bet there are people in this thread that aren't old enough to understand what this means.

Much more accurate, or at least realistic, now. As if Vince gives a fuck about connection to the crowd.

it's 4th of July in my asshole
Toe everywhere. If I just tilt my monitor this way........... DAMN YOU 2D pictures.
Sami might get to Christian status with any luck. Keep with the dope moves and he should be ok.

They hope you'll take the free month and then say fuck it and keep it since Mania is in March.

Well a bunch of people took the free month in November and then said fuck it and kept it, so it's not unreasonable to believe it'll happen again, especially with Mania.

Me too, but I'm not about to root for the Patriots.
I'm probably just not going to watch the game. I've barely kept up with football since the NFC Championship game. All I've been hearing are the Patriots apparently had semi-inflated balls during the Colts game. Meanwhile the Packers are still trying to find Mike McCarthy's balls.
Friends, did WWE Network really have a "big increase" in the last month or did Dave Meltzer read a WWE fluff piece that claimed "we've reached 1 million subscribers!" that wasn't actually true and then spun that into "news" for his subscribers?
As for me, I'm not really sure which is true.

I did check - It hasn't changed my billing settings, so it's still set to cancel before the next payment.
And if they serve up another reigns-is-the-chosen-one snoozfest at fast lane I'm not going to be in a hurry to change that - not empty words either, I have missed a lot of PPV's recently. Only thing really keeping me around were the freebie PPV's that sky used to give us, but turds, ladders & chairs was the last ever one. All paid this year.
Oh I would be shocked if they didn't, I'd imagine a large number of uk subs came on board in the last two weeks. I was one of them till the rumble. A friend of mine said he'd stay on till he saw fast lane, but I assume he doesn't even have to pay for that month now. Will check with him tomorrow
Heeletter is nothing but you asking conspiracy questions based on what Meltzer says.

Quoting day-old news? I'm not sure your newsletter would be topical. I do not recommend it.
Do you charge $1 more than the cost of the WWE Network to get 300 page weekly newsletters chock full of the latest fourth-hand backstage rumors, fantasy booking, numbers breakdowns and amateur business analysis, plus access to the entire back library of randoms talking about professional wrestling and mixed martial arts dating back to 1982?

I theoretically have a ticket to go, and this is pretty much the sole motivating factor for going.

Yeah that was fluff. They can't see the real numbers till the subscription expires which won't happen till February plus Feb is another free month so yeah.

Shareholders don't understand that Vince is working them, because they think he is a legitimate businessman and not a carny.
