It would be great if WWE got the rights to use some Japanese promotions for their video vault. Would love to see some Japan Vader, Hayabusa, FMW death matches and some of the shoot wrestling matches and of course Don Frye

It's absolutely baffling to me how there's not a Resume feature yet (at least for the Xbox One app).

Having to fast-forward through videos in order to reach the point where I was previously at during a show (picking up where I left off........you know, like every other fucking video on-demand service out there) is just mind-boggling to me.

It exists for Apple TV and Roku. But it's still missing a "recently watched" anyway, so you still have to go through their library to find the event you want for the match you want. It's horrible.

And then there are no markers for what you have watched, so I have to look at the thumbnails and bare descriptions of Nitro to figure out what episode I'm on. This network has been out for half a year, and it's still garbage.

Yeah, "resume" is on the PS4 and PS3 as well. No "recently watched", though, which suuucks for me.

Yeah they have Nitros up through 1996. Hall shows up on the May 27, 1996 episode. Nash arrives in the episodes after it. Hogan turns and forms the NWO at the PPV a month later.

Yes. I've been covering it at Legitshook.com up to Ted DiBiase's debut. Nitro is up to December of 1996.

Raw is now available on the USA Network's "USA NOW" mobile app, both live and on-demand.

Pretty nice deal if you can use someone else's cable log-in.

New Simplified Price Plan:

Beginning November 1, the Company will introduce a new simplified price plan at $9.99 per month with no commitment (cancel at any time). Current subscribers will benefit from this new simplified plan as they are migrated to this new plan beginning in December. The new pricing structure reflects management’s belief in the broad appeal of WWE Network content and is comparable to that of other subscription-based content platforms including Netflix and Hulu Plus. Additionally, all new subscribers who register for the network in November will receive the month of November for free, including the opportunity to watch Survivor Series live on Sunday, November 23rd.

WWE Network to be available in the U.K.:

The Company continues to develop the international platform for WWE Network and plans to make the U.S. version of WWE Network available in the U.K. on an over-the-top basis in November.
Click to expand...


WWE Network added 31,000 subscribers in the quarter, representing a 4% increase from June 30, and reached 731,000 subscribers at quarter-end. Subscriber growth reflected the acquisition of 286,000 subscribers, which was 71% above the gross subscriber additions in the period between April 7 (the day after WrestleMania) and June 30 (WWE Network added 182,000 gross subscribers during the April 1- April 6 period, which included WrestleMania). Through September 30, WWE Network had attracted approximately 971,000 unique subscribers with 75% of these subscribers active as of that date.

New Content / Product Features:

New content recently added to the network includes WWE Rivalries. The original series, which provides a documentary-style look at some of the greatest moments in WWE history, debuted on October 27. In addition to providing new live and original content, the network has increased access to the Company’s comprehensive video-on-demand library to more than 2,500 hours from more than 1,500 hours at launch. Also enhancing subscribers’ viewing experience, the Company plans to roll out new "resume play" and “watch list” features across WWE Network media platforms by the end of December.

What does that even mean? Strangely, Sky Sports ran a price plan survey last month about what content it's subscribers watch and how much they'd pay for it. It was mainly to do with football (soccer), but it mentioned the WWE content too. Seeing if people would be willing to go further into the Box Office route, or wouldn't pay for it all - so I wonder if Sky Sports are starting to work out just how much money WWE brings in for them.

Oh, so via an app/web browser? That's pretty good, as I was starting to think they'd lump in with bskyb as an extra channel for £10 per month - which would have bombed BIG time.

On what will be an interesting day for WWE, the world's top wrestling organization announced that their subscriber number as of 9/30 was 731,000 total, a net addition of up to 4% (31,000) since last quarter.

Over the last quarter, there were 286,000 new subscribers and 255,000 cancellations.

Considering they were available in 170 new countries and added Canadian TV (Rogers) since the last report, this is a terrible number.

Of the 286,000 new subscribers, 23,000 ordered the $12.99 monthly deal.

The network will be available in the same version as the U.S. in the United Kingdom during the month of November.

Thursday morning, WWE sent out an email to all Network subscribers announcing they were dropping the six-month commitment to the Network immediately and that the ongoing price monthly would be $9.99, cancel anytime. The WWE also released this video of Vince McMahon announcing that new subscribers can get November for free, heavily pushing Survivor Series. That explains going with a main event that would have bombed as a stand-alone PPV, because as a free offering, you don't need to have something that will make people spend money and the psychology becomes altogether different.

There were 703,000 subscribers listed domestically and 28,000 internationally.

Worse, the July PPV number, the prior B show, was 99,000 buys worldwide but September's Night of Champions fell to 48,000 worldwide, so more people stopped buying B PPV's than have been added to the network as subscribers.

For the three month period from 7/1 to 9/30, WWE took in $120.2 million in revenues and had $5.9 million in losses as compared to $113.3 million in revenue and $2.4 million in profits for the same period last year. The losses were well below expectations, based on budget cutting, so that is positive news.

As of this writing, WWE stock is down to $12.43. Their quarterly earnings conference call is scheduled for 11 AM EST, and Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez will be on shortly thereafter with some breaking news audio to discuss the Network numbers, what it means for business, and other news from the call.

In an unrelated item, social media folowers has increased in the last three months from 365 million to 413 million, while house show attendance is down, and merchandise sales on the web are way up.
