5 Ways WWE Network Is Worth Your Money (And 5 Ways It Isn't)
3. Do You Really Need All That Content?
It may sound crazy, but there IS a limit to just how much wrestling you can watch. Sure, YOU may be able to watch huge, sweaty men slap each other around like walking chunks of beef until your head spins and your eyes bleed, but its pretty much a given that your family cant. Plus, sooner or later, youre going to have to go to work... Lets say, as a completely hypothetical (ahem) example, that youre a huge wrestling fan (male), but that you meet and fall in love with a woman that doesnt share your interest in wrestling at all? No matter how much you try to explain it to her, this completely hypothetical person (who doesnt live in my house, in any way whatsoever) really doesnt like watching wrestling all the time. In fact, she thinks its silly and cant understand why I (I mean, you) watch it all the time. It sounds impossible, made up even, but it could happen to YOU at any time. The hard, barebones truth is that, as work becomes a greater factor in your life, as family commitments, bills and other assorted, non-wrestling sh@t starts to become more and more prevalent, you ultimately get less and less time to enjoy your passions. If you watch a few hours of wrestling every week (counting either, or both, WWE and TNA products, as well as DVDs and/or Internet content such as virtual Ring of Honor tickets), the harsh reality is that youll likely not be able to stay current with WWE programming and still get your moneys worth from the Network.
I am a professional author and lifelong comic books/pro wrestling fan. I also work as a journalist as well as writing comic books (I also draw), screenplays, stage plays, songs and prose fiction.
I don't generally read or reply to comments here on What Culture (too many trolls!), but if you follow my Twitter (@heyquicksilver), I'll talk to you all day long!
If you are interested in reading more of my stuff, you can find it on http://quicksilverstories.weebly.com/ (my personal site, which has other wrestling/comics/pop culture stuff on it).
I also write for FLiCK http://www.flickonline.co.uk/flicktion, which is the best place to read my fiction work.
Oh yeah - I'm about to become a Dad for the first time, so if my stuff seems more sentimental than usual - blame it on that!
Finally, I sincerely appreciate every single read I get. So if you're reading this, thank you, you've made me feel like Shakespeare for a day! (see what I mean?)
