WWE gave away a month of the Network in November, yet 100,000 people still paid for Survivor Series.

I'm super curious about the worldwide breakdown, it can't be that many UK buys, which was the last major country it launched in.

they are up over 1.4 mill subscribers now -- nm - Remlik Feb 12, 15:26 17
- Suuuuure they are. - David Feb 12, 15:33 8
  - It's "unique" subscribers, they announced financials today but didn't give a hard figure. - Tim Feb 12, 15:34 7
    - What they're doing is giving away service to make it seem popular while incurring significant financial losses. - David Feb 12, 15:37 6
      - Vince getting the boot will actually *improve* the product. - Tim Feb 12, 15:41 5
        
        Oh, I don't doubt that. He's like George Lucas in that his natural skill is as a businessman, not a storyteller. - David Feb 12, 15:49 1
        
        I was hoping someone would appreciate that. -- nm - Tim Feb 12, 15:51
        
        I think Vince needs to get out of as head of creative. - Remlik Feb 12, 15:49 2
        
        He's stuck in the 80's/90's. Just let Triple H manage the talent and creative. -- nm - Tim Feb 12, 15:53 1
        
        yup. Let him consult (if his ego would let) becuase he occasionally has some solid ideas...but he needs to get out of the producer chair... - Remlik Feb 12, 15:54
- Finn Balor may be my new favorite guy after that match last night. - Tim Feb 12, 15:31 7
  - Shame he's too small for Vince to get behind. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 12, 16:01 6
    - oof. -- nm - Tim Feb 12, 16:03 5
      - For the body paint alone, Devitt is a marketing bonanza. - Will Hunting Feb 12, 16:06 3
        
        He's the most main roster ready of the five big indie guys, but yep, too small for Vince. -- nm - Tim Feb 12, 16:07 2
        
        5? -- Steen(Owens), Devitt(Balor), Generico (Zayn), Otami, and Breeze? - Will Hunting Feb 12, 16:10 1
        
        Owens, Zayn, Itami, Balor, Neville -- nm - Tim Feb 12, 16:14
      - I think he doesn't understand NXT at all and just thinks it's Triple H's playground. -- nm - Tim Feb 12, 16:05
