There's already talk they are going to increase the price next year to $12.99/year.

They can get away with it if it coincides with them adding Raw and Smackdown replays immediately after airing. They could also take Wrestlemania off the network next year, add the Raw/Smackdown shows, and stay at 9.99 if they want to make more money.

The stock dropped like 15% yesterday when the sub number was announced- which is pretty bad!

It'll rise up. Almost 700K subs and it's not even sixty days since launch is pretty good. It'll grow even more by Summerslam with all the hype of how well WM ran on it. Especially as people grab wind of how much more you can save with it rather than spending $50 every month for the PPV.

Yep, I finally gave in after seeing how well WM was being booked and how the stream held up perfectly. The network really is an incredible value and service.

If they remove mania, I wouldn't subscribe. The numbers are good. They will have more than a million by summerslam.

If I want to learn more about Michael P.S. Hayes and The Fabulous Freebirds, is there anything on the Network I should watch or am I better off going to Wikipedia?

You should follow Stropedia. Michael Hayes was a terrible wrestler, super over rated talker, and giant cunt. Gordy and Roberts were dope. The end.

 

[Korosenai]

FYI, you're still going to get charged for 5 more months.

I signed up for the 1 week trial when WWE Network first launched, and I even made sure to turn the auto renewal off. Not sure how this happened. Unless they turned the auto renewal back on a day before the week expired.

What are some essential Ultimate Warrior matches I should be watching on the network?

What are some essential Ultimate Warrior matches I should be watching on the network?

Other than the obvious WM 6 ad 7. I would say his Summerslam 92 match with Macho Man was in some ways better than their WM7 encounter. That match doesn't get enough props. The matches with Rick Rude at WM 5 ad SS 89 are good. His matches with Undertaker were ok as well.

Also a match right before WM6 with Hogan & Warrior vs. Mr. Perfect and The Genius on SNME was a good one, but I don't know if it's on the network.

yeah, I can deal with a raise of a few dollars, but stripping out ppvs without adding something else in will get me to bail.

 

[Avon Barksdale]

They took down the Macho Man/Sammartino Boston Garden match from 1987?

I don't think it's going to rise a lot more- If you are going to sub for Summerslam, weren't you already subbing to get Wrestlemania?

Word of mouth about how good it was while Wrestlemania was on will help. Hell, I think the quality of Wrestlemania will help too as shown by the massive Raw rating. If they keep this level of enjoyable booking up until Summerslam (and that's a big if knowing WWE), we may see it reach the goal around then.

I wonder if we'll ever see the whole Hogan Knows Best run make its way to the Network.

I'm sitting here watch WM VI on the live stream and it blows my mind hearing Tony Schiavone call WWF matches back in that era. It just, it just feels and sounds weird.

Dude was an asshole to his co-workers but he had a pretty recognizable 'broadcast voice'. And that voice is 'WCW' to me too

 

[Deleted member 47027]

Schiavone doesn't get enough credit. One of the best, and I am deadly serious. Well not deadly.

 

[Downhome]

I'm not ashamed to say I loved Tony and hated when WWE didn't use him and how TNA screwed him up like they do almost everything. I still think he was one of the best. You can't blame him for some of the stupid stuff they had him say and do.

And yeah, the second I hear him it is 100% WCW through and through.

I greatly enjoyed Tony and Heenan together, even though Bobby supposedly hated his guts.

 

[lovely ladies]

I like Schiavone better than Michael Cole. That's not saying much but whatever.

[C.Dark.DN]

What year does the current selection of Raw start? I considering watching the era I swore off...

 

[Striker]

Honestly I think Cole is better than JBL and King.

Current JBL reminds me of heel Cole from a few years ago. He was fine back in the late 00's doing commentary for Smackdown but since he's returned it's obvious he's the receiver of all these lines from Vince.

2011 sometime before money in the bank

Heel Cole was hilarious sometimes. His feud with Daniel Bryan had some great moments and the gong on NXT and his little glass encasement. I was a Cole miner.

I'm watching New Blood Rising for the first time in a while. That's definitely not The Cat's music; it's more suited for Doink.

Some of the replacement music for WCW themes are pretty stupid and hokey. I have no idea why they don't just write a check to Jimmy Hart and use the damn music. I'm sure Hart wouldn't really care as long as they just gave him something because of his loyalty to WWE and everything. Shit, Hart still gets royalties everytime they use Shawn Michaels' music on everything since he co-wrote it.

Back to Netflix.

He's a snarky motherfucker. I know thay he has a reputation for being great to fans (backed up by many personal accounts I've heard here in NC) but if you're in the business, and he thinks you disrespected him, he'll throw your name under the bus real quick.

Body slam or hip lock? You be the judge.

It's one of Cena's boring ass DVDs. Don't bother.

Old, it's from his 2010 DVD

I hope WWE network hits its domestic target by the end of the year. I feel it will end up short though.
