If you managed to hold off on ordering the WWE Network for WrestleMania, you have had ample opportunities to sample the companys 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, its 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 wouldnt 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 hasnt been determined yet if all the free months have led to an uptick in viewership. If it hasnt, then what next?
