20 Things You Learn Watching WWE Since 1997
7. The WWE Network Is An Amazing Deal
The WWE Network is an absolutely incredible deal for anyone who considers him or herself a fan of not just the company, but U.S. pro wrestling over the past 30 years.
Fans clamored for an all-wrestling channel for many years, but while WWE continued to buy the libraries of defunct promotions, there was no announcement. Finally, in early 2014, WWE unveiled the plans for the streaming network, and fans were blown away.
For $9.99 a month, not only would fans get on-demand access to WWE's library (the most sought-after parts, anyway), but each and every new PPV would be part of the package for no extra charge. Some analysts thought that the latter decision was foolish, and it's possible that it cost the company some money in the early days. Finances eventually evened out.
The bottom line is that from an access standpoint, it's easier to be a WWE fan than ever before. From a content standpoint... well, that might be a different story.
