WWE sent out a survey today, asking respondees how they would feel about changes to the WWE Network, including a tiered pricing system.
This was the opening line of the survey:
"As part of a potential premium priced tier, WWE is considering adding new programming, features and special perks to WWE Network. We are interested in your feedback about these ideas. Please let us know what you think by completing the survey below."
After asking whether the respondee was currently subscribed, they asked:
"WWE is considering adding new programming to WWE Network as part of a premium priced tier. Listed below are some potential new programming ideas. Please let us know how interested you are in each of the ideas. Select whether you are extremely, very, moderately, somewhat or not at all interested in each of the ideas.WWE is considering adding new programming to WWE Network as part of a premium priced tier. Listed below are some potential new programming ideas. Please let us know how interested you are in each of the ideas. Select whether you are extremely, very, moderately, somewhat or not at all interested in each of the ideas."
The ideas were: House Shows, Tournaments, Reality shows, Ring of Honor and Other Promotions, which they described as "Historic and new programming from ICW, PROGRESS, New Japan Pro-Wrestling, or other regional Indie promotions".
Other options were:
WWE “Director’s Cut”: Shows that put a new twist on classic content such as WWE Legends narrating historic pay-per-views or current WWE Superstars providing their perspective and analysis of classic matches and events
Audio Channel: A section of WWE Network for “listening only” that provides audio play-by-play of pay-per-views, music playlists, “sports radio” style call-in shows and podcasts
TV-14 In-Ring Show: A “new” weekly version of ECW (Extreme Championship Wrestling) or other “edgy” new promotion rated TV-14
Local Tournaments: Tournaments that take place in your home country featuring local talent similar to the WWE United Kingdom Championship Tournament which took place in England this year
Special Live Events: Special one-time live events from unique locations around the world featuring an unexpected main event
TNA: Historic and new programming from TNA / Impact / Global Force Wrestling
Original Scripted Comedies: Comedies such as WWE Superstar Roasts, Southpaw Regional Wrestling, or WWE’s version of “The Office”
Original Scripted Dramas: Wrestling-themed series inspired by wrestling’s colorful and rich history such as WWE’s version of Game of Thrones
They then asked how much each idea a person would pay for it on the tier, with the total adding up to 10.
They are also considering options like giving breaking news to subscribers first, free shipping on products, free swag and early access to tickets, among other things.
