I personally think it has to be, in majority, their target demo of young kids that get their parents to order these things. There's something to be said for being "creatures of habit" but I can't imagine long-time fans shelling out the kind of money it requires for a product that they don't like.SekSeaPiratenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-79702207448246059882014-01-09T01:12:46.447-07:002014-01-09T01:12:46.447-07:00Well, Netflix doesn't offer PPVs, this service...Well, Netflix doesn't offer PPVs, this service does and Netflix is frequently at the mercy of the movie and TV studios which means that shows like 24 and Family Guy and movies like The Avengers can be there one week and then gone the next week all because of a little pay dispute (that's why South Park hasn't been on Netflix in quite some time). <br />WWE owns all of their content so obviously you won't have to worry about 20 different shows suddenly vanishing from the service, never to be seen again. <br />It's like HBO GO in a way since HBO puts most of their shows on their service permanently for a monthly price and because HBO created the shows themselves, you don't have to worry about the shows disappearing, the only catch with HBO GO is when it comes to movies, much like Netflix, they too are at the mercy of the movie studios and movies disappear as soon as their rights deals for those particular movies are up.<br />So you see, while the WWE Network goes by a Netflix and HBO GO model, it doesn't have the restrictions that those two services have since they own all of their own content and it has the content to draw in all bases, old fans, casual fans, diehards, kids, there's something for everyone and having something for everyone is a formula that has never been a failure and it will be huge not just for wrestling for the entire streaming TV movement in general as this movement continues to grow while antiquated cable TV continues to die a slow, agonizing death.WaylonMercy2K13noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-79633617587908404992014-01-09T01:11:24.525-07:002014-01-09T01:11:24.525-07:00How unedited will the network be?
