According to WWE sources, WWE is targeting SummerSlam to be the launch of the Network in The UK.

 
At the start of 2014, the original timeline had the Network being available in the UK by the end of the calendar year. The technical issues have mostly been worked out and the Network is performing at a high enough level as seen with the WrestleMania stream. This coupled with the fact that WWE business recently took a sizable hit on Wall Street, WWE wants to pick up the pace on getting the Network available internationally to boost revenue.
 
There have been two ideas within WWE regarding the UK launch. One idea is to build it around launching on SummerSlam weekend, and the other is to have it launch a few weeks prior to SummerSlam. From the people WZ talked to, it seems launching before SummerSlam weekend is what they hope, so any issues that come up with a surge of new subscribers can be fixed before the second biggest event of the year.

WWE is interested in signing reigning IWGP Jr. Champion Kota Ibushi, who is considered by many to be the one of the best high-flyers in the industry.

 
Last year Ibushi signed a very unique deal which allows him to wrestle at big events for New Japan Pro Wrestling while wrestling regularly for the DDT promotion.

WWE issued a survey on Thursday, stating that the company is considering releasing new DVDs with more ?behind the scenes? view of the WWE Universe. They asked fans to vote how likely they are to purchase DVDs in the following categories, if they were available for $29.93 in retail or online stores:
  • WWE Reveals / Investigative Documentary: In-depth look at controversial moments in WWE History in and out of the ring plus 2 bonus discs of matches.
  • Legendary Biographies: 90-120 minute documentaries on personal and professional lives of Superstars (like ESPN?s ?30 for 30?) plus 2 bonus discs of matches.
  • Current Superstars Docu-Reality Series: 3-disc DVD giving an all-access look into the lives of current WWE Superstars (like ?Journey to WrestleMania: Daniel Bryan? or HBO?s ?24/7: Mayweather v. Pacquiao?)
  • One Man Show: Hear the personal tales, life lessons, and never before told road stories from WWE Legends in their own words in this intimate stage show on a 3-disk DVD.
The  ?WWE Reveals/Investigative Documentary? category contained some very controversial topics, including ?Owen Hart?s Demise? -
  • Jerry Lawler/Andy Kaufman
  • ?The Curtain Call?
  • Mike Tyson: Pariah of the Sports World, WWE Savior
  • John Stossel Slap/Lawsuit (David ?Dr. Death? Schultz)
  • Owen Hart?s Demise
  • XFL Documentary
  • Other
  • None of the above

LMAO .. gotta love the news, the kayfabe news

 

Hoping to boost flagging viewership, Total Non-Stop Action (TNA) Wrestling announced today it will launch a new content-delivery format called We-Pay-You-Per-Views.

As opposed to the traditional Pay-Per-View model ? in which viewers exchange a given amount of money for access to high-profile wrestling events ? TNA?s new model will ?incentive viewership through a viewer-compensation platform.?

In short, wrestling fans will be awarded payment ? ranging between $39.99 and $49.99, depending on whether Rockstar Spud is performing ? to watch a TNA wrestling event in its entirety.

?Because the PPV model is not working optimally for us, we are transitioning to the innovative WPYPV system,? said TNA President Dixie Carter in a press release.

?We believe our buyrates ? that is, payrates ? will indicate huge boosts in viewership.?

Although most pundits agree that TNA?s viewership will drastically increase with this month?s WPYPV, the success will be offset by the catastrophic debt the company will immediately incur.

    • Politically funny images of the World

      By +Edouard · Posted

      Sorry to be that guy but, Given Trump won again even after a failed first term it would appear attacking the other side is how to gain Government in America. Voters when it came down to it didn't give a s**t about those Democratic achievements and voted for Trump over an intelligent, qualified mixed race woman. We need to face up to this uncomfortable reality. There are more Americacan voters who support racism and christian bigotry along with defending and supporting pedophilia, adjudicated rapists, multiple time convicted felons etc than those who don't. Btw, that is how the world sees America now. Not that Trump voters care as they attempt to cocoon themselves in a white supremacy bubble.

      That's not clickbait. Clickbait is headlines like, "You'll never guess what this person looks like now" for example. For goodness sake, take a look around the internet if you think this is clickbait. How do sites survive if people don't click through to articles? How many people in all honesty would have clicked this if it had your suggested headline? You and those upvoting your post won't be happy until the web is a couple of hundred websites all behind a paywall.
