With the Network launching, and all the PPVs being included starting with Mania, any word on the price point for PPVs in areas that don't get the Network yet? Also, the statement they made was that the Network was going to be rolled out to other countries by the end of 2014. Will it be progressive or will they open it up all at once worldwide? Specifically, are us Canadians going to be waiting until December?
People in those areas will pay the same prices that they have been paying. It won't change. WWE hasn't announced that yet. Hopefully we find out on Tuesday at the conference call.
I just watched the end of the 1/9/14 episode of TNA on my DVR. I get that AJ Styles needed to lose to Magnus in the title vs. title match given that Styles has left the company, but can you think of any worse way to kickoff Magnus' title run then by having him need the help of (by my count) 8 people running outside interference? Of all the run-ins, Bobby Roode's made the least sense to me. What incentive does he have to help Dixie after she stuck him in a cage match with Sting an hour earlier?
I am sure Vince Russo or the like could have come up with something worse but I couldn't agree with you more. The way they booked big, strong, tough Magnus was a joke. AJ was the guy that is leaving and was booked like a star. Magnus is staying and was booked like a chump. It makes no sense at all. I hated the booking in that match more than I can tell you.
Who would you say is the biggest name to never participate in the Royal Rumble match (Someone with a prominent WWF/WWE career since the Royal Rumble has been around)? For me it's Scott Hall, "Razor Ramon" has but never Razor Ramon (but competed on the PPV). Neither has Scott Hall.
Hall would be pretty big, for sure.
Was just wondering what the consensus is on VKM now. Are people starting to refer to him as a genius once again? He's definitely back to reinventing and despite earlier doubts I feel that his latest venture will carry the product for years to come.
I am a huge fan of pretty much every aspect of the Network. I can't think of anything right now that they didn't do extremely well. I expect it will be a success as well and the vast majority of feedback I have seen shares that opinion. If they this works as I think it should, Vince will have to be given a huge amount of credit, no doubt.
In regards to the WWE Network, any idea on how royalties go for former wrestlers?? I spoke to one former WWE Superstar & he wondered what the difference is between a dvd rental/purchase of an event he's on (royalties he would then receive) and someone watching the same event on the Network on demand??
There is a meeting with talent scheduled for tomorrow night. I expect that will be addressed there.
