Good mix of programmes too on there too.

It's just a shame the actual main product is so poorly written at the moment.


Yeah that's fair enough - I agree with that.

The Network itself is good and deserves the numbers but the weekly stuff certainly doesn't.

Does anyone know why raw and smackdown are not shown live on the network anymore?

They never were. They put them on a month later, it wouldn't be viable and they'd lose too much money from Sky Sports, USA Network etc.

They never were live on the Network. They've always added them on 4-5 weeks after they happened.
If they aired live on the Network, they'd miss out on the TV deal money and the chance to attract a bigger audience and the casual viewer.

That said one peeve I have about the Network (small one as it's a great service) is how there are vast periods of Raw and Smackdown with next to no shows on the Network.
I could even understand if some years were just missing but then they'll randomly have say just 1 Raw from 2008 and 3 from 2010 which is just odd lol

Ohhh forgot what was the best part last night...Lana and her amazing ass in her new ring gear!

I heard that the 10 diva tag match was good but was too busy just looking at her ass lol

Yeah that's a gripe I have too.

I want to watch the Raws and Smackdowns from certain years but they have chunks missing.

I'm amazed they haven't put one episode of Thunder on there yet. Sure it wasn't a great show but it's still part of WCW's history and builds up to the PPV's.

That guy on reddit linked on the previous page who is suppose to be a insider said that Ambrose was pushing all week to allow him to use weapons other than the kendo stick yet Vince get saying no.

No wonder he was pissed all weekend in both senses of the word!

Again, why have hardcore legends hand him weapons on Raw yet never use them!

Thank you. I always thought they were on lol! Completely get the loss of revenue

Lol! I also wonder who the returning female is that is stated by the insider

To be fair he was never going to be able to use a Chainsaw.

When he got it out and started trying to get it going. If he had, what would he have done next? Sliced Brock's arms off?

It will be interesting to see what they averaged over the quarter which should be coming up in the coming weeks. There is very likely to be a big drop off when the Q2/3 results are announced but it appears that people continue to transfer to paid membership when the free month is up.

Just read an article posted when the first ever subscriber number was released at 667,000 entitled 'Vince McMahon's Plan To Turn Around Is Blowing Up In His Face', they are currently 400,000 (paid) over the initial break even level of 1 million which was reduced anyway because people didn't stop buying PPV which was anticipated.

It's been a slow burner but WWE are proving as of now they absolutely had the right idea to turn away from their PPV model to subscription. I remember reading it would never hit a million, then it would never get much over a million, then it would never reach over 1.5 million. It's got a way to go, long way to go, but it's 100,000 away from half of what WWE have said they hope to get (3 million on a consistent rolling basis) which whilst isn't the best news 2 years in but it's not the disaster people were claiming it would be.

Just imagine how bloody well it would do if they put effort into television.

From what I've read, it's a former champion (of the Diva or Women's variety)

Nikki ?

Oh right... Could it be aj??

Now that really would've been a Wrestlemania moment. Not necessarily a good one but certainly unforgettable.

I like this turn of phrase. I'm definitely going to start using it.

That might have made it more interesting! But we have to think of the no blood policy

How on earth did the bookies know to put Ryder as red hot favourite, their 'insider' knowledge is better than any experts! Also Charlotte was red hot favourite to win, when most thought Sasha. Though they didn't get Corbin!

I was thinking that!

Oh I remember the Chicken Little reaction when the 600,000 figure was announced. I'd say if they can stay above 1.5 million they're in a pretty comfortable position.




I'll stop there before I ruin it.

It's believed that people in WWE after the production meeting get people to put bets on for them.

People reckon it's

RAW spoiler from FalconArrow in relation to the above

Oooh that's not who I've read.

Oh really. And there was me getting my hopes up
