The actual number — 1,000,648 — is the current subscriber count, as of Jan. 27, and after “Royal Rumble,” which was available in 170 countries and territories.
That’s after a group of very vocal fans took to Twitter shortly after the event, causing the hashtag #CancelWWENetwork to trend, to voice their disapproval of the show’s outcome.
these smarks are just talking shyt, they ain't going nowhere.
*bout to go eat this Cowboy Chicken and watch WWE 24*
Subscribers who cancelled after the Royal Rumble event still count for that number. They are still "subscribers" until their last month runs out.
I'll wait for the quarterly reports and shareholder conference calls in March and June (I believe) to verify whether this number is worth taking seriously or not. You know, pending stunts like free months and the like.
If this number drops back down to, say, 800,000 or less by June, then they might be in some real trouble with this Network thing.
