Proving what exactly?

That people want to watch WWE PPVs for $10/month instead of the former substantially higher rates but care less and less about RAW? Shocker. People want to pay less for something they used to have to pay more for. Even more so if they feel that the quality has declined. Also, if so, that's not good for TV licensing or TV sponsorship revenues for WWE.

Or maybe that people want to watch former WWE, WCW or ECW shows when the quality of the product was superior?

Also, are these subscription increases primarily the result of the Network availability expanding into new markets or an increase in internet access? If so, that would no doubt likely result in higher year to year growth until most markets are reached.

The point is, without specifics, Network subscriber growth alone isn't proof of anything. It certainly doesn't disprove the theory that WWE has for years had horrible quality booking and writing and that it's resulting in RAW's ratings dropping.
