I was reading the WWE Network press release today, and there were 1.3 million subscribers for last nights Wrestlemania. The average flow number of subscriptions this quarter has been 918,000. And they said off of the free preview they converted 77 percent of those subscribers into paid subscribers.

Awesome stuff. Hoping the Network goes from strength to strength.

They got a great show last night. I don't see how anyone who calls themselves a wrestling fan wouldn't pay 9.99 for the network.
If you would have told me years ago that we would get PPVs & unlimited WWE programming for 10 bucks I'd have thought you were bat poop crazy. I honestly spent 30 years recording PPV's on tape and I don't have a quarter of the catalog WWE network does. I love it.

It helps too now that all of Canada can get the WWE Network. I am sure just in the past month alone with various new cable outlets in Canada picking up the WWE Network that it helped raised the number big time!
But now that I have the WWE Network finally, I can understand why people love it so much. I don't know how I was living without it before!

Does it work like a on demand service on those cable outlets as a stand alone subscription where you stream as you please? |

Does it work like a on demand service on those cable outlets as a stand alone subscription where you stream as you please? Kind of. We get the WWE Channel, which the American's get only they get it online, we get it as an actual TV channel. So there is never any glitches of buffering being done, we get a straight clean feed of the PPV event. We have an on demand channel for the TV too, where it's like WWE Classics on Demand. And we also get the online stuff off the website too. So we kind of got it good here with how they set it up for us! |

Was anybody else's completely fuzzy & pausing like every min or 2? I'm like so close to canceling! First I was watching using roku in my basement, then it was so bad I moved upstairs to my Xbox 360 which is hard wired to my router, and it paused like every min & was fuzzy as hell, I swear in 1996 I had a clearer picture on my 13 inch box tv for wm12

I had no problems with my connection.
How many devices were you running on your network? And what's your optimum net speed?
I never have any streaming issues sans when my Xbox One decides to just close out of the app or a game for no reason.

And as soon as Orton/Rollins started the feed stopped loading. I came into the computer room to watch and never had another issue. So the issue may have been with Xbox end more so than WWE's. |

It froze up at various times throughout the night (the worst of which was right after Lesnar hit his last F-5 on Reigns...almost ruined the finish of the main event for me) and took a few dips in quality at times too. Definitely not as bad as you're describing, but still unacceptable considering it was perfect for Wrestlemania XXX. I still don't understand how it actually got worse in a year. |

My roku was brand new, & I put on RR w/Lesnar vs Rollins vs Cena earlier that day to test it out & quality was fine....I was so pissed I just ordered it through Verizon for 70$, |

And they said off of the free preview they converted 77 percent of those subscribers into paid subscribers. that actually explains a lot as to why there were a lot of issues with the Network starting right around the time the latest Free Trial Month started. that said, kudos to them for updating the WWE App to fix the bugs about 2 weeks ago, and apparently upgrading the servers to be able to handle the load. 1.3 million is a lot of people on at one time, and I have heard of very few people having any issues. |
