WZ has learned today that plans for the WWE Network have been put on hold indefinitely. At this point, the network hasn't a single deal signed with cable providers, and while WWE was considering making the network a pay channel, similar to HBO, internal studies have shown less than 100,000 homes would be willing to pay a monthly fee.

Additionally, WZ has learned through sources close to the head of the HR department and the VP of programming, that all hiring for the network has been frozen. In fact, we have been told any new hires that have been made for the network are in jeopardy of being terminated.

Initially, the launch was pushed to November 12th of this year, then to February of 2013, but as of this writing the network is not going forward at all. We've been told WWE failed to realize what a big onset and investment the network would be, and NBC Universal was going to sell WWE part of its Universal HD channel, but WWE balked and wanted its own network.

Now, with no infrastructure set up at all, we've been told a network would be virtually impossible to create in 6-12 months.

[. . .] i must have zoned out at the ending.

That's why we need Good Ol' JR back to react crazily and say things like "OH MAH GAWD! IT'S PAUL HEYMAN. THAT DAMN SON OF A GUN. MAH GAWD." That might have kept your attention :D

I miss JR :(

I think we all miss JR. Yet Vince has to embarrass him time and time again. I wonder what the hell JR ever did to Vince (other than kiss his ass) to get this kind of treatment. He's one of, if not the best commentators of all time, yet he's not on TV, and he doesn't even do PPV's anymore. Oh and I don't count that new gig he does with NXT or whichever show he does now. If he's not on RAW or Smackdown, it doesn't count :D

BAH GAWD HE JUST GOT RIPPED EN HALF!

I wouldn't expect him to be champ soon, my guess is they'll build him up and then around wrestlemania time, he might get a shot. Let's not forget, he was supposed to (supposedly lol) win the MitB for SD instead of Ziggler but who knows why they changed their mind. He was cleared to wrestle as far as I know.

    • Using Windows 10 past its end of support date, is it really that bad?

      By +Eternal Tempest · Posted

      Because of the EU (a good thing) newer android devices been getting 5 years worth of security patches. Except some Motorola which found the loop hole, and offer ZERO updates. In addition, Google for years have been making where it can patch some stuff by updating the core Google Play Store itself.  As echoed earlier,  you take the security risk in to your own hand beyond supported.

    • Microsoft releases major feature updates for stock Windows 11 apps

      Yes for me, I installed 'old calculator' (Windows 7 calculator) in its place since it is more useful to me. I think paint is the only one I left installed
