Gotta give props to the E for finally hitting their number. I wonder how they'll explain the decrease for the next quarterly reports though.

#DamageControl way too convenient after Sunday night and the #CancelWWENetwork movement And it's gonna get bad...they want to act like they can tell everyone how shyt is gonna do and this time, there's gonna be consequences..especially at a HUGE gathering like WM 31.

The POTENTIAL for a good PPV [rumble] DEFINITELY drives subscribers. The model is actually working IF they have good ppvs and solid content inbetween.

to me it's like Netflix in that if they make it consistently good(and occasionally great), people will not really notice they're still paying for it every month.

But when/if it gets stale people are gonna be like, "where can I cut my losses?" Then maybe they'll come back every so often.

I really think if they went month-to-month from the launch, they'd be well beyond the number of subs they are now.

It's pretty obvious what happened. Now that there is no long term commitment people were willing to wait and buy the Rumble for ten bucks. Then they started canceling their subs and they will be back for WrestleMania.

Did they cancel because Reigns won the Rumble? Probably not, they probably would have canceled anyway. It's been rumored that February will be a free month.

I expect a lot of BS to be thrown around in this thread but it's obvious what happened here.

I think if they make Fast Lane remotely interesting, people will re-sign right back up for that. :manny:

over a year after launch and they still need 400k to break even :mjlol: also they were at like 750k before the UK launch, that means their second biggest market only netted them like 250k :lolbron:and thats assuming they aren't just lying to control their stocks from crashing after they made headlines for the rumble being awful
