But you also pay for the Network so they don't give a fuck unless this is making you consider canceling.

I’m sure some people have cancelled over content they want to see that WWE has dragging their feet on.

So it's not a matter of just uploading 3 different drops a month though, it's going through and editing and adding the segment time stamps and superstar tags for 3 separate drops a month. Not saying WWE shouldn't be able to do that, but it ain't just click button upload rasslin' lol

I get what it takes to do it, but they receive over 10 million dollars a month for the purposed getting this classic content. They have the means and motivation to do so.

And I'm sure WWE ran the numbers and saw it didn't hurt them enough to make a difference :draper2 this is just capitalism, if enough people see the Network as something they woulnd't ever cancel barring extreme changes like most of us do, then they just have to put enough effort into them to keep those people satisfied

TBH WWE is lucky I wanted to keep getting their current PPVs for $9.99 a month or I might have canceled because it took way too long to finish Nitro and Thunder.

I feel like you think I'm defending WWE here when I obviously want these same things too lol It's more of a "why would they when they can make basically the same money by being lazy and not doing it" bc I don't see any incentive for it unless they just wanna be nice to us

The line where you said they were lucky you didn't cancel bc you wanted to get their current PPVs? Keywords being "didn't cancel"

WWE did just enough to keep you from canceling, they lost 0 dollars from you. Minimum effort for maximum profits in this sample size of 1 lol

Key words were a separate service was the reason I didn’t. Otherwise their poor service on classic would have been sufficient and WWE is toying with eliminating that service that kept me around.

If WWE sells current PPV rights to ESPN as rumored they’ll need to step up their classic game in a big way.

I mean if you want to talk about the possibility of PPVs leaving and change this whole conversation to a different tangent we can do that too, I didn't think it was that relevant right now though.

I also think they would step up their live content on the Network if the PPVs left, more house show type specials or maybe even the Indy shows like Evolve

It is because current PPV and classic content are basically two separate services wrapped in one price. They can fuck us on one as on one as long as they keep the other. But if they remove the one, their poor classic drops won’t be enough for long.

Besides my point was never about canceling. I’m just saying the goal and selling point way back in 2014 was to have access to all of WWF and WCW classic content and I used to defend their roll outs to people back in 2015, but we’re in 2020 now. I’m just saying they should step it up a little bit. Show your fans you can do right by them without needing to be threatening with mass cancellations. Just give us what you promised us.
