I think WWE should have created 2 WWE Network plans. $9.99 for regular streaming w/o PPVs and $12.99 for PPVs included.

At some point I'm sure they will raise prices, but I think the business model works better at one price point for the whole thing. |

I think they should have started with multi price points.

No way should they have multiple price points that regulate how much of the content you can view. Look at Netflix for example. The multiple price points govern how many devices can stream simultaneously and what not; they don't lock out content based on which type of account you have. And considering they are the gold standard of streaming services I'd imagine their approach is probably the one to go with, at least for the time being.
I just don't see that many people being interested in WWE Network without the PPV option. If they added a second tier at 12.99 or whatever it would be that included the PPVs while the standard 9.99 did not.....then I feel you'd lose subscribers and that everyone would feel like it is a scam just to raise rates while giving the appearance of a choice. |

Never good to see a big decline, but I'm sure the fact that it was taped had an impact. I usually dont like reading RAW spoilers when they are overseas, but in this case I was eager to get them because I wanted to see how the tournament was laid out. Of course I'm just one person.
the first hour was higher than last week, and when you take the average its not really a huge decline. And at the end of the day, even the third hour being so low, that hour was still only behind two shows in terms of viewership on Cable on Monday. MNF was down week over week by 1 million viewers. Which means RAW's overall viewership declined by about 2% WoW and MNF viewership was down 8% WoW. Like I said, not great to go down, and maybe 3 million is some kind of panic number, but looks like people were just tuning TV out this week. |

The Monday Night Football numbers were down because the matchup was the drizzling shits...
Raw had the WWE champion for the past 7 months being stripped of the title and the "intrigue" of a tournament for a new champion beginning. But it was just because people decided to not watch TV. Yes. It was TV's fault. Because faith in McMahon. |

For some comparisons, last year's UK Raw show had around a million more people watching for the 3rd hour. Almost a million more also watching for the average viewership.
Drop this week was pretty large even by taped RAW show comparisons. |

Well that's only because of something to do with what the internet fans wanted causing a rating's drop. I'm sure of it.

As usual you guys can't debate an actual point.
MNF matchup two weeks ago was nothing to write home about. This week was bad as well, and the number dropped more significantly than WWE. We're any of you guys more interested than normal in getting the spoilers? I was. As a result I watched less of the show because I knew the outcome. Rather than saying whether or not you were more or less interested in spoilers than a run of the mill UK show, you ignore the point. Cool way to debate. And even if you don't agree with any of that, the number was only down a couple percent week over week. |

It's quite obvious that peoples attention spans can't be kept glued to one tv channel for 190 minutes straight anymore unless it's football.

I'm just tired of the NFL and WWE going PG/PC, that's why I don't consume every second of their events. There are other modes of entertainment that don't have a restrain and people are figuring it out.

That and the whole layout to a Monday night. Survivor Series being dedicated to Undertaker is pretty choice though

Mods, please change thread title to Smackdown ratings highest in 3 months. Crisis is over. The product is great again. Neilsen justified that belief.

I for one am shocked, shocked I tell you that Sheamus/Roman Reigns are not ratings super magnets

Could be but really Sheamus was their best option. Did not want to see Reigns holding the title trying to be John Cena on the mic. A lot more people would have tuned in had Ambrose won the title.

They don't want to give Ambrose the ball and not being able to elevate newer stars is going to cause ratings to keep falling until Royal Rumble when they typicality rebound. The question is how much lower can they go before Vince thinks about trying something different than what he's been doing in not elevating certain talent. Ambrose may not be able to draw at first, but he's not been given the proper time to be a household name.

When quarterly or segment breakdowns used to be revealed, him and Orton were almost always the big droppers in terms of stars. Think Sheamus still owns the record for worst segment drop at almost a million a few years ago. |

Yeah, but what successful wrestling territory has CBS Sports ever booked? Or Mick Foley? Or that 10% drop? This is the most successful revenue year in the WWE's history, and we all know the WWE Network will definitely be en vogue for years to come.

This is somehow Cesaro's fault for being boring.
