Joey Joe Joe Jr Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Has anyone been following this drama between Lance Storm and Teddy Hart? Lance didn't get paid for a Hart Wrestling event he did, so spoke to the LAW about it. Then a few days later, Teddy and another guy involved did an interview which descended into Teddy ripping on Lance in every way, including his school.

Forrest Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Here's some more concrete nonsense about the WWE Network from the quarterly shareholders' meeting. Â "Our plan to transform our business is based on the global appeal of our brands and the rising value of content," stated Vince McMahon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We believe we can achieve a significant increase in earnings based on launching a WWE network in the U.S. and international markets, leveraging the renewal of our largest content agreements, and developing digital products, such as mobile games and gamification of content, which take advantage of our presence online and in social media."Â ... Â To maximize the value of our content, we plan to utilize three approaches: licensing our content to established television networks, potentially launching a WWE network through traditional cable, satellite and telco distribution, and monetizing our content through alternative digital "over-the-top" distribution. These options are not mutually exclusive. We plan to utilize combinations of these approaches in our domestic and international markets. Â Regarding a potential WWE network, we are evaluating multiple approaches. We believe that a premium subscription model is the best approach in the U.S. to capitalize on our fans' commitment to our brands and their desire for more WWE content. Based on our market research, we estimate that a fully distributed domestic pay network could ultimately attract between 2 million and 4 million subscribers at a "steady state." These subscriber estimates derive from a projected base of approximately 47 million WWE digital TV households in the US (including lapsed fans), and the proportion of which have an affinity for WWE content, although there is no guarantee that this affinity will translate into actual subscribers. These take-rates are based on a value proposition for the network that reflects inclusion of our pay-per-view events, except WrestleMania, as well as compelling original content. Under our preferred subscription model, while our pay-per-view events would still be offered on an Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Maverick Posted February 28, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted February 28, 2013 I wonder if they'd get their own channel as part of the Sky Sports package if they ever actually got the network off the ground. I imagine that'd be the only way to implement it over here as privately i'd assume it'd die on it's arse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 How many people a week in the US watch Raw, on average? About four million? Expecting a quarter of them to be up for a WWE pay channel seems a bit optimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Ronnie Posted February 28, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted February 28, 2013 Expecting a quarter of them to be up for a WWE pay channel seems a bit optimistic. Yep, especially when you factor in that their PPV record is 1.2m buys. If 1m people were willing to pay $15 per month for WWE's standard fare, I'd have thought that more would have parted with their $60 for the one-off Wrestlemania.
