Do the WWE release numbers of who watches each show? I'd be curious to know how many people watch RAW on the Network each week. SmackDown and NXT for that matter. I'd like to know the stats on how many people watch their PPVs on the Network, and how many watch them live.
I guess with things like the App, it's just people downloading it once. I'd be curious to know how much has been done with this app since. They're clearly after Network sign-ons more than actual money, because they've given WrestleMania away for free again. Basically they want that giant number for sign-ups, but then they need to keep those people signed on. We'll see if that happens. I'm expecting a massive sign-up and then a steep, steep drop-off. It'll be interesting to see what happens to the stock after that news.
Fuck, why is WrestleMania even on the Network? They should be able to still sell the Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, SummerSlam, and you know what, Money in the Bank for about $30 through a PPV provider. Or be their own PPV provider but still charge that much for such a "premium" product. With NXT, your PPV library, some original programming and the rest of your upcoming PPVs airing on the Network, it really feels like there's a lot of money being left on the table.
