And some nikkas think WWE won't be around in 10 years? :bryan:

WWE will always be around, they've got such a big fanbase that will always watch regardless of how bad it gets (and it's been bad last few weeks) :snoop:

Seems like there's still a huge untapped worldwide market for the Network. There's no way 80% of all the people in the world who care enough about WWE to eventually get the Network are in the US.

Poor promotion is the problem. In most countries they show the edited Raw/Smackdow replays where they cut out most references to the Network (since it pretty much focuses on the matches/relevant promo's). Hell, I didn't even fukking know I could get the Network over here until I decided to randomly see if there was a way to get it because I wanted to watch WM31 live.:russ:

But you also gotta keep in mind that pro wrestling is still very much an American sport that outside of the UK and Japan really isn't that big. And then in that smaller fanbase there are only few die-hards who are willing spend $9.99 a month for the content that the network offers.

The real news is

WrestleMania did somewhere between 990K and 1.2 Million PPV buys

Yes.

Traditional PPV buys.

On top of the WWE Network subscriptions

Let's just say that there are another million in subscriptions at the time of Mania...that's two million viewers right there and that's just counting who actually paid the fee...you still have kids, homies, bar parties, house parties etc...shyt is :whoo:
