10 Huge Mistakes WWE Have Made With The WWE Network
1. Destination Unknown
There has been an irrefutable lack of long term vision for the WWE Network since the day it launched.
Countless different subscription strategies gave way to the relentless push of the price-point on television, but the company foolishly left in the opportunity to dip in and out of constantly free trial periods that allow irregular users to claim events such as Royal Rumble or WrestleMania completely gratis.
Ironically, it is those that pay for the Network's supposed convenience that often suffer most. As recently as last month, there were multiple complaints of feeds dropping or merely not loading for Battleground, and as a streaming service in general, the software on virtually every device drastically pales in comparison to Netflix, Amazon Video and other market leaders.
Indecisiveness over the direction of the Network at large continually plagues its overall growth, and a dissonance between the hollow soulless robots on television and the actual human beings on a 24 Special or Table For 3 creates the persistent viewer strife for those that indulge in every aspect of WWE's bloated offering.
The Network can no longer remain a video archive and a purveyor of innovative new content without ending up dissatisfying at least one strand of subscribers. The sooner the company focus that process (or at least redesign the layout around it), the better it'll be at attracting brand new customers and sustaining problematic casual fly-by-nights.
