Approaching?

They are losing money aren't they? Viewers and people attending shows are way down plus Vince is dropping a half a billion on XFL pt2.

Hot take - Cody Rhodes isn't a very good wrestler.

They're not, they're a company worth a billion dollars.

They turn a profit before they ever sell a ticket with all their sponsors and tv deals.

While TV in general is down, this is really bad.

I don't think they will hold onto that fox contract.

It may put pressure on them to try different things, but I think they basically have to run with them for a year.

BryanBusby 06-26-2019 10:09 AM

No, Fox isn't going to give them the boot in a month but I'm sure that deal was done with the assumption they will pull a lot more viewers than they currently are.

They didn't even get 5k paid at the gate or 10k buys for Stomping Grounds. LMAO

Uh, yeah. Yeah they do.

Places like BWW cant just stream the Network and a lot of rural areas don't have access to Internet capable of video streaming.

They haven't gotten shit for buys since they started the network so gauging anything on that is shoddy at best.

They got 100k buys for WM and average 15-20k. It's perfectly fine to gauge off those numbers.

Attendance numbers are down, buys are down, paid subscribers are down, viewership is down. It's all sinking.

Mecca 06-26-2019 10:40 AM

I can't believe anyone would buy a ****ing 50 dollar ppv when you can watch it for 10 bucks.

BryanBusby 06-26-2019 10:53 AM

Network is for private, personal use so places like bars and restaurants can't use it....legally at least. There are a lot of areas where either 1.8 mbps isn't possible to get, the ping is so horrible or they have such low data caps that streaming isn't very feasible.

Granted not a lot of that is happening because 15-20k buys lol, but it's a thing!
