10 Fascinating WWE Survivor Series 2014 Facts

10. It Was The First WWE PPV To Technically Be "Free"

When WWE Network launched in February 2014, live pay-per-views were amazingly included in the static $9.99 monthly fee. JBL and Michael Cole would basically say, "Only a f--king moron would spend $55 for a pay-per-view, giving money to the middleman cable provider!" And they had a point. WWE Network was a great way to save in bulk if you watched the monthly shows.

WWE had set a goal to reach one million subscribers by the end of 2014, and looked for ways to demonstrate their multi-faceted product to those who hadn't given it a go yet.

For the first time ever, in November 2014, WWE offered a free month of the Network to new subscribers, hoping to get them to buy in come December (and up the subscriber count). This made the 2014 Survivor Series the first pay-per-view to be offered for free to a significant portion of the audience.
