10 Ups And 14 Downs For WWE In 2015 (So Far)

12. For The Low, Low Price Of€ Free!

If you managed to hold off on ordering the WWE Network for WrestleMania, you have had ample opportunities to sample the company€™s on-demand system. The proverbial basket that WWE put all its eggs into has been offered as a free trial every month since then (April through July). Without checking, it€™s safe to say there has to be a way to use different e-mail addresses and accounts to get multiple free months. WWE also has seemingly given up on any kind of a long-term commitment, allowing people to subscribe for a month, cancel and then renew later. You have to imagine if the Network was doing well with subscriptions, they wouldn€™t be offering free months repeatedly, just encouraging people to sign up and not miss must-see action. WWE reported 1.3 million subscribers at the end of March, but it hasn€™t been determined yet if all the free months have led to an uptick in viewership. If it hasn€™t, then what next?

He fortunately became a fan in time for WrestleMania III and came back as a fan after a long high school hiatus before WM XIV. Monday nights in the Carlson household are reserved for viewing Raw -- for better or worse.
