VICE: The WWE Killed Wrestling with the WWE Network

[jadillac]

Also, at some point you reach a level of diminishing returns....and there's no point of having all this footage if you can't do anything with it..... and only putting out a little at a time on DVD is wack. Vince knows ppl want (and will pay) to see the footage and they can NEVER please everyone with whatever WWE picks for dvd's.

So use technology to make it all avaliable.

There’s no way that I’d pony up the old pay-per-view charge of $60 to watch this parade of flawed visions and missed opportunities, but I would happily pay $60 for six months of unlimited access to the more compelling WrestleManias of past years. The frustrating current product can therefore sustain itself on our nostalgia for the archive.

Like the ppvs over the past several years have all been attitude era quality. They cant get any worse and are by far NOT worth $60. I remember in the attitude era they were like $29.95

My only concern is I hope they don't skimp out on the sets/designs of the ppvs now b/c of the cheaper Network price

TV rights deal >> WWE Network. No matter what WWE gotta keep up the tv ratings because it's a television company at the end of the day now. It was ticket sales from the beginning of time until the late 90s, then ppv from the attitude era until recently, now the tv deal will mean much more $ than they ever made on ppv.

WWE Network fails, he can never sell a ppv at $55 again besides mania

Ok so who paid for elimination chamber? Nobody here I'm assuming.

How many of the people who pirate these ppv's bought the network? A lot. So I dunno bout this one.

Don't see why the ppv's are all of sudden gonna suck. If you wanna see the ppv, you gotta get on the network. So what raw isn't gonna promote ppvs anymore? This is just a dumb article

Did this gentleman leave an email address?

I'm about to politely tell him what he can do about it.

Make sure the Hunter Hearst Helmsley theme plays softly in the foyer while doing so.
