General Chit-Chat Thread - No Spoilers

Yeah but my only point is that they can do the bare minimum as long as most poeple don't cancel for awhile until they either star canceling for frustration, better options etc. They SHOULD be proactive and make the service better without that happening, but like I think that's expecting a lot

 

[Chris]

But as far as what they should be doing, I agree with you. I just wouldn't expect it anytime soon unless frustration builds because of it, and I don't see it happening. PPVs moving would cause a lot of frustration though and definitely cancellations.

 

[Smart Marx]

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

I can’t see them actually selling PPV though. They won’t get the buys they used to. Who’d pay $50 on shows they used to get with their network? Especially when the vast majority of their fans bitch about how awful the PPVs are every month? Does WWE think the same people was DO cancel their network because Goldberg won a match at SSD will pay $50 for a PPV?

I would love more live houses though. ROH and Impact both do it.

 

[Chris]

Yeah I agree with you there, but the rumors are swirling. I think it'd be a terrible move.

We both already know WWE is doing the bare minimum. That’s how this entire conversation started. You don’t need to remind me of something I already know. All I’m saying is that’s bullshit.

It shouldn’t take 10 years to finish WCW and Attitude Era classic content.

The best way to ensure people don’t cancel their subscriptions isn’t wait until they threaten to do so, it’s consistently make their customers so happy so they would never think of doing so.

 

[Chris]

Someone needs to let WWE know that then

 

[Chris]

I guess it is a little unfair to say they're doing the bare minimum overall still tho, I mean with classic content yeah. But even if you take away PPVs, the new live content, documentaries and what not have been fire still.

 

[Chris]

I'll say they're putting in minimal effort...slightly above bare minimum

 

[Smart Marx]

For the record I’m just being cheeky. I know full well they won’t step up. I’ll just be happy if we can at leas finish Saturday Night within two years.

It’s better than ROH. They show no signs of getting their 2002-2004 shows finished.

 

[Chris]

But I think I'd stay subscribed forever as long as PPVs were still included and the price was anywhere from <$20. Anything over that then probably not, $10 is still a steal just don't let WWE know that

Yeah, I’m pretty happy with the original content. WWE is still miles ahead of their competitors services.

Though there was like 5 year gap between the Monday Night Wars series and this most recent Ruthless Aggression one.

 

[Chris]

Hey at least season 2 of the Ruthless Aggression series is later this year lol

I think they do know because if the aforementioned lack of need to move on classic content and their more recent discussions to sell PPVs.

The PPVs being included I’d say is the single biggest reason for subs.

While I personally enjoy classic content more, it’s the cheap PPV that keeps me never canceling it and why I always say every company should be providing a service for PPV. Even AEW. They can build a classic content library as they go.

 

[Smart Marx]

Why is that quite so fucked up?

 

[Chris]

I think it got double quoted lol
