Cynical.įrankly they have to expect some torrenting, there's never going to be a scenario where they can kill it completely, the record industry has been trying for 15 years and movies 10. It means that they will no doubt delay the Network in the UK as long as humanly possible so we subsidise the loss of PPV revenue for a bit.

Signing this deal with Sky was a greedy move, pusing all the PPV's to Box Office where there were 4 that weren't each year. The UK side of things will see more torrenting and streaming, they will try and crack down but it will just hurt them. I'm not sure why people get so pissed that others get for free what they pay for when they can do it to. No matter how hard WWE will try and stop them, they won't. YouTube will always have free matches and events.

If anything, this will allow people to get it on free sites in even greater numbers and with better quality. Not the money for the events, but being able to watch it on something outside a tv and computer is what is going to push me to get it.īack to the original question.

However, the fact that you can watch the Network on any smart device is what sold me. I just have to watch them Tuesday, Saturday or Monday instead of live. Not HD, but it's not as bad as other sites I've seen. Since I don't check out results from the PPV the night before, there is a site I go to that shows every PPV, RAW and SmackDown in very high quality. $120 doesn't seem like a lot, but when you figure it can go towards other things that you need just to survive, it's not worth it. This is all also why I think the WWE is smart for doing the network the way they are (on top of the fact that cable and TV as we know it is dying and everyone under 30 is moving to streaming/VOD anyways).Ĭlick to expand.While the network is cheap compared to other sites like it, I definitely understand where you're coming from. So my question (and hypothesis really because I think it will), will WWE Network kill off streaming/torrent sites? I think it will because the cost is so low, the hassle is supposedly low, and the utility is massive. Plus 10 dollars isn't that much at all considering cable bills are 70+ dollars. I mean, I could torrent old shows if I want, but that's a hassle to download and seed. With the WWE Network, you essentially get every PPV for just 10 bucks, oh, and a bunch of other really cool shit. This is all my speculation of course, but it makes economic sense to me. In other words, the actual market of people who buy PPVs is a sub group of wrestling fans with inelastic demand for the PPV due to their income. So the people who buy PPVs are people to which 20, 40, 70 dollars is all the same to them. People who have normal income won't buy a PPV if it's 20 dollars even because 20 is still greater than 0. That's why PPVs are priced so high (this does actually make sense). It's no secret that we (IWC) torrent/stream PPVs.
