episode Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I have a huge problem with WWE network. WWE buy rates have been dwindling for a long time now. It is entirely down to their product going downhill over the past 8-10 years but I think even the last WM got nowhere near the buys WWE wanted. The WWE network is basically them trying to bolster flagging PPV views and they're doing this by selling old content rather than improve their own current product. The WWE network in and of itself isn't bad and i'm quite keen on a lot of the old content planned for it, but it is not replacement for improving their current product :/ WrestleMania sold over 1M last year. Which is their goal every year. Its not WM they want to improve - its everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timster Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 ?According to Winnersports.uk.co, Vince McMahon has expressed initial interest in buying the Newcastle United Football crisis club from owner Mike Ashley. The report notes that no official bids have been made at this point, and tentative talks are in the very early stages, but McMahon has expressed interest in the club. You can read more at this link. ------- several sites are reporting that the WWE Network will be accessible from two locations on a single account.

MightyJordan Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 ^ Saw Vince trending on Twitter earlier because of that rumour. That urban legend's been around for quite some time; no idea why it's suddenly peaked again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MightyJordan Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 According to PWInsider.com, while it has yet to be made official by WWE, the word going around backstage at this past weekend's live events is that WWE has granted CM Punk an early release from his contract. While Punk is still featured on the roster page of WWE.com, people close to Punk have reportedly been claiming he is "done." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WOW.......so he really is gonna do the whole MMA thing...well, before you know it, in a few years, he will come back and headline WM... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChopSuey Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Hello, WOW.......so he really is gonna do the whole MMA thing...well, before you know it, in a few years, he will come back and headline WM... I don't think he's going to do MMA. He's going to take a couple years, enjoy his money, and chill. I was hoping it was a work, but it looks official, WWE gave him his release. I personally think it was best for both parties. CM Punk was too beat up and really needs time off, and he knew he would never get the top spot. And to be honest, I don't think WWE needs CM Punk anymore. The fans will get over him real quick, like they do when other wrestlers are released. WWE just has to get through the Chicago crowd on March 3rd, once that's done, the rest is easy. I won't be talking about CM Punk anymore... he's retired, he's done... Time to move on.

D. S. Veteran Posted February 17, 2014 Veteran Share Posted February 17, 2014 CM Punk isn't going to do any MMA thing. And if he did, it would be a pretty sad sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyJordan Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 CM Punk isn't going to do any MMA thing. And if he did, it would be a pretty sad sight. True, but anything's better than Batista's solitary fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riahc3 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Hello, I don't think he's going to do MMA. CM Punk isn't going to do any MMA thing.We have seen stranger things happen...lets see if WWE makes a official announcement or its going to be one of those quiet things.. I was going to see if they dropped Punk from the roster yet (nope) and thought hey lets look at Naomi and see if they say anything her injury (and yeah, that ass too) and once again the WWE ceases to amazing me: She is billed from "Planet Funk" :no: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The WWE network in and of itself isn't bad and i'm quite keen on a lot of the old content planned for it, but it is not replacement for improving their current product :/ First the WWE network will also include new content created for the network like NXT and such and reality programs and new and future original content but course it will host everything from 1985 on up and who knows even before that date including ECW and WCW stuff But that is the cool part because someone like myself can relive old matches and entire shows and WWE events Also WWEN is like netflix as Netflix host all sorts of old programming yet people love netflix Punk back to TNA? I bet they'd pay big bucks to have him even in a non wrestling role. CM Punk was never on TNA so ther is no him going back to something he was never aprt of he Was apart of ECW that is now WWE owned brand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red. Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I hope Cesaro wrestling Cena is a sign that is he going to get a big push soon. I hope so too. Cesaro's great. He was made to look good in his match with Cena even though he lost so hopefully that's a good sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
