MITB viewership up 20%, Summerslam up 30% Suadi event up 75% in viewership on Peacock vs the Network - Remlik Feb 3, 14:16 14
- "Okay, we're desperate for positives. What's the best thing we can say about the company other than money?" "Uhh...something Peacock, maybe?" -- nm - David Feb 3, 14:24 13
  - Peacock has 3.5 Mill paid subs - Remlik Feb 3, 15:54 2
    - No, Peacock has 9 million subscribers. Only 1/3 of them have ever watched a WWE program. It's a disastrous statement he's making as a brag. -- nm - David Feb 3, 16:04
    - made a deal for Disney streaming - Remlik Feb 3, 16:00
  - I read an article recently that I think had the first coherent explanation for WWE's strategy (other than just being sold). Apparently HHH said in - pmb Feb 3, 15:07 9
    - It's the philosophy that explains how they unintentionally turned a monopoly into a duopoly. -- nm - David Feb 3, 16:05 2
      - For sure. But that doesn't mean that at this point it isn't financially effective (I'm not really sure). I don't think it's a long term strategy - pmb Feb 3, 16:35 1
        
        They're banking making their money and selling before they lose their current contracts. - David Feb 3, 16:37
    - they've been in that mode that the E is the star and not the wrestlers since late 2000's. -- nm - Remlik Feb 3, 15:20 5
      - It was far less noticeable then as they had Cena and they also had the Rock making appearances and Lesnar as a long time champion. I don't think they - pmb Feb 3, 15:29 4
        
        They picked Cena specifically because he did what he was told. It's the same with Seth Rollins. - David Feb 3, 16:07 2
        
        But they're clearly committed in a different way to it now. Look at NXT. It's moving to all homegrown talent. They don't want to bring in popular - pmb Feb 3, 16:32 1
        
        I don't think you can put any rhyme or reason into anything WWE's doing right now. They just blow it all up every few months. -- nm - David Feb 3, 16:47
        
        In Cena, they found their sucker. They’ve wanted to be this since Rock / Austin and Mick all left in the early 2000’s. - Will Hunting Feb 3, 15:52
