This got me thinking for a while. My local cable company still promotes ordering PPV's the traditional way. Do people still order them that way? I mean most if not all WWE fans subscribe to the network.

Probably only the people who watch WrestleMania because that's a huge event.

The ppv itself is worth the 9.99 I have the Network mainly for the older content but to have all of PPV's regardless of the bad product today is still one hell of a bargain. |

I hope not. Those ppv's aren't worth $50.

Also I can't relate to the streaming issues. In Canada the network is a cable channel. Like HBO etc. My feed never goes down. I've always been happy with it.

People do, but the number is so minuscule that WWE doesn't even bother mentioning it in the quarterly reports anymore. I'm sure it's buried in there somewhere, but it's not even a blip on the radar.

For the first quarter of the year, PPV revenue was $2.8 million dollars. So some people are still buying them.

Don't WWE promote each PPV as "exclusively on the WWE Network"? I thought it was only internationally that it continued as a PPV format in addition to the WWE Network. Seriously? Do you also find moving your thumbs complicated? The network is easy. I don't see why they don't get rid of the network and just let the fans order Raw, Smackdown, Nitro etc. on PPV when they want it So, rather than paying 9.99 a month for a video library consisting of thousands of hours of entertainment...you'd prefer to pay around the same price each for each individual episode or show you want to watch?! How is that a preferable system? Furthermore, they're not going to put weekly shows out as a PPV format. Aside from currently existing TV network deals, the PPV format has always been reserved for special events. Why would each weekly show be put on that format? |

I order all mine off PPV the network is too complicated No knocking you or anything, but what makes it complicated in your eyes? Lag time during ppv? Billing issues? Is it a tech thing? Again, not criticizing, but curious. Maybe one of us can help. |
