Cena in a suit is serious business ... Isn't that the raw after the chamber?

I guess but think of how many people would pay 10 for mania and may say ok I got a steal, leme cancel tomorrow.

Who knows, maybe they just dock you each month but make you commit to agree to give up $10 every month or pay it all at once

People sign up for netflix only for when they do House of Cards and original shows. Same thing. It's not like that $60 for mania all goes in WWE pocket. The 60 for the network does. Just not a fan saying its per month when it's not.

It's not an issue for me but it will be for some so they'll lose out on those people or AND THIS IS A SIMPLE FIX if you don't commit to the 6 month term you don't get the ppvs

They took a bunch of office guys and trotted them out on stage like a bunch of people who normally always do it. I'd it was a board room, they would kill it there IMO.

It's CES and the other board member of other companies don't sound that bad just odd. Bay bit was good though. Think Bay should be the celeb at WM 30 made that crack about the rock and WWE they poke him with this it'd be an easy sell

I buy the netflix gift cards for subscriptions at 6 and 3 months at a time, have been for years, so it saves money

not an issue for me.

just saying that some of the jobber fans may not be able to use it as carefree

Also permanent price or startup price?

I assume they try and keep it level. They said they were going to be in the uk in 15, which is when their tv deals end. They waited for the us deals to end to do this how they wanted, same logic may apply.

I still believe getting this in Japan, Mexico, and India would be huge for them

Except wwe on demand wasnt on every cable system or satellite and it couldn't hold wwe programming.

At Hollywood, read you pay 10 per month and then can't cancel for 6 without penalty

60 bucks for 6 months? I spend more than that in a night of drinking. If some people can't afford that, fuck em. Have priorities and get some food instead.

Oh man, I get this, my firends and family will have to stage an intervention before I OD on wrestling. This means I can finally watch the awful ECW on TNN shows, their dying days PPVs and the worst of WCW. :markout:

It couldn't be broadcast via satellite. It had PPV's a month later, and it never updated often enough to really be worth my money. I had it for more than a year because it kept having problems and my cable provider kept gifting me free months.

I will wait to see how others feel about the experience before I decide to give it a go or not. Being able to have wrestling as the background noise of my day isn't that interesting on its own.
