For a wrestling fan this is a great deal, this seems like the right way to go about doing a wrestling "network"
 
Wow, that's going to be awesome. I just got Hulu Plus and plan on subbing to Netflix soon. This is a wrestling fans Hulu + Netflix wrapped in one.

Quit watching wrestling years ago, but this us pretty neat.
 
I quit watching wrestling after I found out it was fake so This does nothing for me.

At the moment I'm still heavy on the boxing side of things but even that seems to be taking a mega turn with all the fraud that's been going on lately.

I think is time for me to start looking into other sports.
 
I don't watch wrestling anymore but this is a ridiculously awesome announcement for wrestling fans. The price is insane for what you're getting.
 
On nice! Front page news! It is a great deal though for any pro wrestling fan. That said, I'd imagine that they'll cracking down hard on youtube vids, steams, and any other video sharing site that someone posts their stuff on.
 
How much does a normal PPV cost anyways? $50? I don't watch it much anymore either but this seems like beyond a great deal.
 
well f*** US only :( oh well I hope my DNS company I use for US netflix will cover this too.
 
One last thing, this needs, at the very least, a Memphis Wrestling documentary show. Hell, a show based on the territories is needed in general, but one dedicated to Memphis is a must have in my opinion. You got Lawler right there, guys was King of Memphis. Only second to Elvis.
 
Yep, I'm all in on this. being able to see the PPVs live is worth the admission price in itself. everything else is icing.
 
The WWE should make out good on this because nobody orders PPVs anymore. They just watch them online. Who wants to pay $50 per PPV when you can watch it for free? Right or wrong, people have better things to blow money on. I think WWE finally gets it.

The content on Roku is expanding and cable companies are on notice. Of course, they'll end up making the same revenue as an ISP, but choice rules. I don't watch wrestling, but I love the move by WWE here.

$10 a month is way to expensive

how is this to expensive when you get every pay per view event included and each one of those are usually $50-$60. This is a great deal for wrestling fans.

I am not into wrestling like I used to be but if they end up doing some good shows I would consider getting this, I enjoyed the Tough Enough reality show they did and I would watch some of the pay per view stuff. To bad its not on the Xbox One at launch.
 
Sounds like a great deal for wrestling fans.

Now if only UFC would do that too! I'd pay $10/mth for that. Even if it's just the monthly UFC event + a library of old matches, that's more than enough. Anything else like behind the scenes stuff, interviews, Strikeforce or other MMA leagues would be totally bonus.

This is an interesting strategy by WWE. They will lose out on revenue from hardcore fans who would buy up more than $120 worth of content individually, but I guess they are assuming they'll get more than that from more casual WWE fans who will buy a package of content like this at $120/yr who would never bother buying anything.... they'd just watch those WWE tv shows on cable.

I'm sure they're hoping to get some ad revenue from this as well. It's why Monday Night Raw turned to 3 hours and hasn't changed since then. Ad money.
 
Interesting to see how long they keep this up. The 10 dollar per month price tag has to be a teaser rate to attract buyers in. This way they have a guaranteed revenue stream from subscribers.

Definitely, I wonder if they'll sneak some stuff in though, like, you get all the latest ppvs, but just a day late or something like that.
