Agreed. I don't really like the premise of Monday Night Wars or Countdown either, it's basically 2 hours every week of current and past WWE stars reminiscing about the good ol' days and how great everything used to be. But I don't think they realize they're basically telling viewers that the current product doesn't compare to how things used to be.
WWE Network to start running ads.

These idiots should have been running these ads six months ago...externally.
Nostalgia and super mainstream wrestlers push sales be it buys, tickets, DVD Sales. Not everyone follows WWE programming weekly. So had they advertised the network for 9.99 during its launch in magazines, comics, billboard ads, commercials on other shows and channels (like they do with PPVs) with clips or pictures of Hogan, Austin, Rock, Bret, Warrior Macho, Cena, CM Punk, Orton, HHH and stating clear that you get EVERY WWE/WCW/ECW PPV from the past and ALL the annual PPVs, people would have jumped to that shyt and they woulda been had their million plus with the option to raise price early from heavy demand.
Even casual fans would be like fukk it for only $10 a month and locked in. But right now you all probably people who are casual wrestling fans or on or off watchers who arent aware of it cause they dont watch weekly on Raw and hear that "9.99" shyt

this is going to piss a lot of their paying customers off who just renewed another six months. even if it is just limited commercial ads, the whole point of paying for a service like the Network is to avoid the constant harassment of having commercial ads shoved down your throat like they are on basic cable.
do you see HBO Go, Netflx, Amazon Prime, etc. doing this shyt? it's not the paying customer's fault that the WWE is struggling financially right now. so basically WWE is gonna be like "hey thanks for that $9.99 every month, but we're still gonna force you to watch commercial ads because we can't pay our bills".
very amateur move by them in my opinion. they are pretty much gonna be like YouTube is now to where even if you're just wanting to browse through shows and look at a small clip here and there, you're going to have to sit through a 30-60 second commercial ad before it will play.

I actually dont see the big deal. What a 60 second intro commercial right before u sit through a 3-hour PPV?

If they're not gonna be airing commercials during shows, it's really not that big of a deal.
Still not renewing tho.

You guys need to calm the fukk down. It's limited, it's only before certain on demand programming and it's not during live specials.
Who gives a shyt, it's $10 a month.
