As mentioned earlier, all WWE pay-per-views will be streamed live on the WWE Network at no extra charge, starting with Wrestlemania 30. This is where the value for money comes into play. Fans in the US are currently paying $45-$60 for each event. In England, we have a much better deal at £14.95 for every event. Now look at the price of the WWE Network; $9.99 a month. You can get a 6 month subscription on the WWE Network (and with that, SIX pay-per-views) for the price that you usually pay for one pay-per-view, and that's where this deal becomes ridiculously good. The WWE Network is easily worth the money when you just consider this fact, so then when you add in all the archived library that's available, the original programming, the documentaries... It makes you feel like this deal is far too good to be true. Maybe it is, maybe WWE will hike the prices up eventually, but we can certainly enjoy these prices whilst they last. Will pay-per-views become glorified 'specials' because of this? It's possible, but you have to imagine that they will still be used to blow off feuds, championship matches and the like. They will still be built towards on RAW and Smackdown and they will still be big deals. This is easily one of the most exciting prospects of the WWE Network, you get to enjoy all of the pay-per-views for a paltry $9.99 a month. If you're a hardcore fan that buys every pay-per-view anyway, just imagine the money you're going to save! WWE using this to hook people into a six month commitment is very clever, as I can see a huge take-up on the network, just based on the fact that you get Wrestlemania 30 as part of the package.
