It's probably not a huge amount, but I think WWE is helping to get their infrastructure sorted as well. They just got super fast broadband installed a couple of days ago

The thing is, if WWE is getting multiple promotions on a similar deal, all they need is five and suddenly it's a $250,000 a year bet for three years. For the indies that are signed, I think they must feel that exposure is worth it and in lieu of a TV deal (which ICW or PROGRESS will never get unless they change their content), it's the only real way to do it.
