For anyone who doesn't have Xbox or PS3/4 but wants to see it on a tv. Don't waste your money on a Roku, do it on your computer then get an HDMI wire and hook up your computer to the TV that you already have. That's what I do when I watch ROH and other indy promotions. This network seems awesome Dude, I like to invite friends over and have PPV parties... I don't want to be screwing around with hooking up my laptop to the TV...... I need it to be a smooth viewing process.... Is there some kind of catch with ROKU 3?

so anyway, just got all caught up on this
$10 a month is pretty awesome. To be able to watch all the old PPVs, and then every new PPV.....thats worth the price right there.
But it seems like they are only doing PPV stuff on demand...no old RAWs or other TV shows? Although this must be just the beginning im sure in time they will add more stuff.
To be honest, I'm more excited at the possibility that this could lead to them FINALLY just putting every episode of RAW ever in one place....except maybe the Benoit tribute show. I'd rather they skip that accident.

Will it be an actual network, or is it like Netflix? I haven't had time to watch it, and won't till tomorrow.

I don't mind the 6 month subscription, even if you only watch it occasionally you'll still get 6 months worth of PPVs for roughly the price of 1. Well my point was after the first six months are they going to jack up the price? Cable does that all of the time when package subscriptions end so I thought sadly they may do something like that. For sure, I definitely know where you're coming from especially if it's something like you automatically renew at a higher price if you forget to cancel . My comment was more general about the idea of the 6 month subscription not disagreeing with your concerns.

$9.99 is a steal. I would pay up to $19.99 if WWE charged that price. But if it's $20, I'm out. Just sayin'.

I would pay 10 bucks a month for every old PPV and Raw, throw in the live PPVS and this is a steal. Can't wait.

Reminder. It's not 9.99 from start. 6 month comitment from start. Pretty sure you are still paying on a month by month basis. You are just locked in for at least 6 months.

Don't know why we in other countries have to wait until the end of the year if it's all online/through apps. Because of existing rights deals in those countries (same reason some WWE Youtube videos are blocked in the UK), and presumably because there's more risk involved in a worldwide roll-out.

You're possibly in the minority, to be honest. Streaming content means the ability to capture more audience, and therefore more revenue. Dollars and cents, my friend. Guess so. I'll just have to stick to paying the normal price for the PPV's every month. They said you can watch it from your computer. So if you have a decent size monitor thats an option.

They may run into initial issues at launch so it's definitely easier to control problems strictly in the US without having to worry about damage control in the rest of the world.

Part of me is just not understand how they'll make money from this. Yes, a huge amount of people will buy it, but they're going to lose so much money from the loss of PPVs (Especially Mania) and god knows if it'll affect DVD sales. That price just seems ridiculously low. I wouldn't be surprised if a few months in, it gets jacked up.

Give me some money and I'll get right on it. I see the dude's point - what if he doesn't have a wireless Internet connection in his home? I don't think everyone has streaming capability.... Although, I guess if he's posting on here, he must have access to SOMETHING..... My issue is, I don't have a gaming system, and my Blu Ray players don't allow you to add "apps" or channels....so I'm not sure how I'll get this awesome thing loaded so that I can watch it on TV.... so I'm reading up on Roku 3 right now, it actually sounds like the way to go.... about $98, no monthly fee (other than the $9.99 I'll pay for WWE)...... what is the catch? I have internet access and wireless that's not a problem at all. The problem is I watch the PPV's with my dad so it has to be on the TV in the living room. My PC is to far away and doesn't have an HDMI connection. My PS3 is upstairs so that's no good and I don't use gold on my 360 so can't buy it on there. All that other stuff like smart TV, roku, apple TV etc we don't have and I'm not going to buy just for this.

The live PPVs make it worth it. I can never watch old content for more than two minutes before getting bored and skipping to the finish.

That price just seems ridiculously low. I wouldn't be surprised if a few months in, it gets jacked up. More people will be inclined to buy the network than pay (or...not) $50+ for PPVs. It may not seem like it adds up, but if you have 600,000 PPV buys, or 100.000,000 subscriptions WORLDWIDE whenever it launches in other countries...the math makes a bit more sense there. The numbers may seem outlandish but you never know with it being this cheap here.

And that to be frank sounds about right because that would be about $8 million.
