  - I'm curious as to why. -- nm - Tim Jan 8, 19:16 2
    - reading the FAQ it will be on Apple devices -- nm - Remlik Jan 8, 20:00 1
      - But if you mention "Apple" when signing up they will charge you twice as much. -- nm - Spawn Jan 8, 20:01
MDH, are you around? Did you get a confirmation for your free bottles of wine? - kelly Jan 8, 19:08 2

  - That's such a dramatic difference, I kind of wonder what they're up to... -- nm - Qale Jan 8, 18:59 13
    - $120 from everybody is betting than twice that from much, much fewer people. -- nm - David Jan 8, 19:00 2
      - A more reliable steady revenue stream vs sporadic folks who are maybe about their purchases. I see. I imagine RAW/Smackdown will have to be delayed. - Qale Jan 8, 19:03
      - Yep. They are going to make gobs of money off this. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 8, 19:01
    - With their buyrates now (200k or so) I think the stand to make more money this way. -- nm - Tim Jan 8, 19:00 9
      - advertising. more eyeballs on the advertising -- nm - Remlik Jan 8, 19:06
      - At those rates, 1.125 million would be the breakeven. -- nm - David Jan 8, 19:01 7
        
        Wrestlemania blows the curve but here's what I dug up for 2013 - Tim Jan 8, 19:04 1
        
        Of course that was Twice in a Lifetime, I'm definitely sure The Rock sold some Rumbles and Manias. -- nm - Tim Jan 8, 19:04
        
        Can you show math? I've shown my above. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 8, 19:03 4
        
        I hadn't realized they had a split on PPV so you are probably closer. -- nm - David Jan 8, 19:07 3
        
        Actually, domestic PPV income for them the last few years has been 65-75mil.... - Will Hunting Jan 8, 19:13 2

- *goes back to Bash at the Beach 1996 immediately* -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 8, 18:55 4

    - Hogan is still annoyed about that. -- nm - David Jan 8, 18:58
    - Yeah, his biggest mistake ever. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 8, 18:56 1
      - Yeah, Heenan is a legend (I wish he could still talk) but that was a fuck up. -- nm - Tim Jan 8, 18:59
yeah, i like the hawks ok too david. it's just hard for me to see that millsap-teague-korver troika as killers.... - x Jan 8, 18:51 2
- Oh, they're screwed but Millsap is my type of player. -- nm - David Jan 8, 18:54 1
  - yeah, he has been having a great year until the last week or so. his shooting has gone way south the last few games....nm - x Jan 8, 18:59
No Lebatard/Deadspin chatter? Was that already news before the HoF announcement? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 8, 18:49 2
- B5 -- nm - Tim Jan 8, 18:58 1
  - One board further than I looked. Not much. Expected more chatter on it. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 8, 19:05
Heh, Legends House. -- nm - Tim Jan 8, 18:48 1
- Liveblog of the event. -- (link) - Tim Jan 8, 18:49

- HBK and HHH out now to the DX theme, Hunter in DX gear rather than a suit. -- nm - Tim Jan 8, 18:53 3
  - you can watch it here.... -- (link) - Remlik Jan 8, 18:54 2
    - Yeah, watching it now. They're being goofs. -- nm - Tim Jan 8, 18:55 1
      - I love how they're pushing Steph -- nm - Remlik Jan 8, 18:59
- I don't think I'll ever understand this. But I fully support anyone's interest in doing so. -- nm - Max Jan 8, 18:52 3
  - I think I've admitted this before, but I'd list WWE as an influence to my story writing. Male soap opera et al. -- nm - Qale Jan 8, 18:54
  - Well, they're giving you all the PPV's ($50/60 a pop) for $10 a month. - Will Hunting Jan 8, 18:54 1
    - It's not the discount, it's the content I don't understand :) -- nm - Max Jan 8, 19:08
- I would buy it for Survivor Series and Royal Rumble alone. -- nm - David Jan 8, 18:50 2
  - Survivor, Rumble, Summerslam. And the documentaries interest me a lot. -- nm - Remlik Jan 8, 18:51 1
    - oh and with the WWE negotiating all the shows in a package, they're looking to do a deal with Viacom (owners of Spike)... - Remlik Jan 8, 18:52
- If the PPVs actually get better; it's a steal if you buy only 2 a year normally. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 8, 18:49 4
  - Considering currently I use shady sites' streams to watch RAW and Smackdown, it'd be worth it alone to hop off those. PPVs would be gravy. - Qale Jan 8, 18:52
  - Worth it for Wrestlemania, Royal Rumble and Money in the Bank. -- nm - Tim Jan 8, 18:50 2
    - Launch date? -- nm - eag Jan 8, 18:51 1
      - February 24th, 11:05pm (after Raw) -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 8, 19:18
