Do people have Network subscriptions there or they just check out clips on YouTube if they do want to watch?

yea we do have the network, but that still doesnt allow you to watch Raw or Smackdown live which kinda sucks, so gotta find streams to watch it, which isnt really that hard to do if you know where to look. but most people can't stay up all night to watch it live anyway and theres lots of sites that have HD replays of the shows on the next day, dont need youtube for that.

They'll find another deal in Germany. WWE has rights virtually all over and in some cases they get amazing deals after the fact (See their deal in the Middle East since 2014 with OSN that has max coverage of all WWE Shows plus the network after they were on tape delay by a week on MBC)

The fact that you can watch Raw/WWE on various platforms, like on PC, Tablet, Phone and TiVo, which can sync to the mentioned devices, watching television is a bit of a chore now.
This is a WOAT argument considering that same SHOULD apply to the NBA, NFL, NCAA football but their ratings keep expanding for the most part...

Hadn't watched wrestling since The Rocks last run. Turned on the other week to see some fat ass neckbeard as the champion. The guy literally looked like they picked him from some kind of make a wish foundation to hold the title for a day. Then I see some Kevin Nash impersonator without the swag, sucking the life out of the entire building. Vince has gotta be doing this shyt just for the lulz now.

Stop...The WWF was always about larger than life wrestlers and/or larger than life personalities and pushing the envelope. The Rock, Austin, Hogan, Savage, Nash, DX, The Undertaker...could go on and on. Star power brings In the cash and makes for an exciting product. The Ratings don't lie. That's why they'll keep throwing out millions to part timers to keep the company afloat ...until hopefully they get hungry again and build better talent and better storylines. Buying WCW was the worst thing that could have ever happened to the wrestling business.

Steph Curry plays like a superstar though. When people tune in to see him play, they want to come back for more.
