Even though the Network has been years in the making I still feel they rushed it out and didn't think enough about the shape they would be in if things went terribly. Again if they have close to a million subs they are in good shape. If they have under 800k...well then it's time to panic. As a fan I love the 10 price tag and getting to watch all the new PPV'S but I don't think that was the right business move. The thing is too, they're stuck with it now. If they increase the price, they could lose subscribers. And they can never shut it down and go back to $45 for a PPV now we've been getting them for $10. Thursday's going to be pretty interesting. I believe they are going to move to a tiered system like Fight Pass currently has where you can sub month to month for like $14.99 per month, sub 6 months for $11.99 a month or a year for $9.99 a month. The prices are just a guess on my part. What they would do for Mania, I don't know. It's really a double edged sword. To keep the costs down, they aren't going to be producing much new and original content (Tough Enough, Legends House, etc) but I think it's that original content that could get people interested enough to sub. IMO, if you don't go all out and just rely on new PPVs, DVDs and old content, they will fall into the lull that Classics on Demand ended up falling into.

WWE did talk a lot of crap when it came to the TV rights deal. I'm sure they are sweating the Network number on Thursday Apparently it's going to be a big news week. WWE Network number, TNA either getting a new TV deal or announcing cancellation, and some mystery third thing. Next week might suck real bad.
