Update on the Network

Justin LaBar of WrestleZone.com is reporting that WWE has a targeted launch date of February 24th for the WWE Network, which is the day after the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view. This confirms a previous report from PWInsider.com, but LaBar's sources provided him with a few extra tidbits about the Network:

- Initial price point will be in the $10-$12 a month range, with the sign-up being for six months.

- You'll be able to watch WrestleMania 30 on the Network, with the plan still being the reported "every non-WrestleMania pay-per-view airing on the Network in the future".

- It won't be a channel on television, but an app-like service along the lines of Netflix that you'll be able to watch online and on devices like smart TVs, PS3, PS4, X-Box 360, X-Box one, and so on.

- There will be a live, 24/7 stream of content on the Network, which is the thing that will separate it from apps like Netflix, which focuses more on-demand viewing. However, on-demand viewing will still be a part of the Network, as the entire library of Raw and Smackdown episodes, as well as pay-per-views, will be available to watch at launch.

If any more information comes out, we'll be sure to pass it along to all of you.

This isn't half bad. Quite a lot of content for a decent price. I'd honestly be willing to pay for it.

 

[Shadie T]

I will pay for that for sure, especially since its not a TV service, very good price especially since its around the same price for a PPV here in the UK and we also wont have to pay £30 a month for sky sports.

 

[Farooq]

I'd buy it. No reason not for a cheap price like that, and I can put my Xbox 360 to use for something good besides GTA 5.

 

[Swift]

Wouldnt get this if it was free. Fuck da E.

 

[Trip in the Head]

Did somebody hear something? Oh its just Rusty hating on the E again. :badass:tunga:

Anyway, sounds awesome to me. So as I read it you WILL be able to watch WM 30 and all other non-WM PPVs, but no other WMs in the future after 30? And are we talking on the night of the PPVs or when it gets released on DVD or something? I would like it better if it was the actual night of the PPV. But I wouldn't put it past WWE to do the latter.

 

[Rogue]

It would be cool if it worked like an app such as Netflix. Having all of the classic wrestling along with modern wrestling archived and ready at your disposal. Now that, that I would gladly pay for.

 

[Lockard 23]

Sounds worth the money to me.

 

[Leo C]

Sounds like a much better proposal than what it sounded like it was gonna be previously, for sure.

 

[Nano]

Sounds good, and will give it a try for a year... Hope they don't make any more realities, I don't want my Xbox One to have an app just to watch Total Divas season 2.

 

[Shadie T]

I enjoy Total Divas and I was one of the people bashing it before it came out.

In the other hand, I never liked Total Divas and didn't even waste my time watching it. I don't really like realities at all tbh.

If you haven't watched it how do you know you don't like it?

 

[Nano]

If you haven't watched it how do you know you don't like it?

Because of the commercials and online recaps. It seems it was just a "watch me act in front of a camera and my fake life!" show.

Don't bury it before you watch it.

 

[Gav back in the championship]
