Title: 3rd quarter earnings call
Post by: GraniteCityDon on October 30, 2014, 05:02:55 PM
So WWE have announced their 3QEC and the results genuinely shocked me.


Vince is making cuts EVERYWHERE which may or may not be necessary. Hes building a cabin with dead wood IMO with the product hes offering compared to the product he COULD offer.

Personally i think it wouldnt be such a bad idea to branch into a post watershed show whereby they ease back into the old days when the older fans like us can actually show appreciation for it. Keep Raw & SD for the kids, but offer something for the adults on a smaller scale initially. Even if they make it a Network only show, not only does it potentially bring in more subscribers but it offers a tremendous possibility to increase revenue overall.

Then again i have had a ridiculously stressful & long week & maybe im just talking out of my ass, in which case i apologise!

 ;D

The network hasn't surpassed anything. It's been a disappointment. The 1 million subscribers is a pipe dream.

The old school WCW and WWE is heavily edited..
Starting November there going to a month to month pay system..
No more 6 month minimum contract..
They need more original content..
I'm going to cancel next month..
Purchase it when it's wrestlemania time.

This is a bad sign for the WWE.

You were a guy who was high on the Network.

IMO, they're gonna have to go with an advertising model and try to charge people only for PPVs.

Most of us are already paying enough to our cable and phone/net providers. We're not looking for more monthly charges.

There are a few interesting things going on outside of Vinceworld.

The Young Bucks are doing some cool things.

I like the way they play off each other during this promo:
