10 Clues That WWE Network Has Been A MAJOR Error
9. They Haven't Been Able To Change The Price Yet
For as long as the WWE Network has been in existence, the price point has been a significant topic of discussion.
An original launch idea about offering a longer deal for a small saving was ultimately binned for a more familiar model of offering it first for free and then charging a (relatively) nominal fee of $9.99 to keep it. And didn't we f*cking know about that? Going forth with an all-too-familiar bludgeoning approach, the price was relentlessly plugged on television until it was a t-shirt, a flag waving about Titan Tower and yet another way of calling the audience stupid. Literally - Michael Cole, JBL and others were flabbergasted that some daft mugs (customers...customers) would still pay the hefty going rate for a single show when they could have that and then some for a tenner.
Various attempts to tweak the model have brought with them new discussion on price, but this will be a tricky thing to address in and of itself - are the likes of PROGRESS and ICW getting added to the service even a justifiable reason for a hike? Some discerning observers would argue the literal opposite.
