WWE Network model will eventually be the ESPN Model
WWE basically invented pay-per-view and now they're reinventing television again.
Next month, WWE is launching its streaming network for the price of $9.99 a month. This will include the full archive of all WWE/WWF, WCW, and ECW events, live streaming of all of their current shows (RAW, SMACKDOWN, MAIN EVENT, NXT), and will also live stream all pay-per-views (typically $50 per month). I, and many others will be ordering this for the pay-per-view value alone and will stream it on my Wii in one room, blue ray player in my bedroom, Smart Tv in my basement, and Roku in my son's room.
This will be very successful and I see ESPN following the lead very soon. Imagine if you could pay $10 a month directly to ESPN to get all of the ESPN live channels as well as an archive of past sporting events to stream.
I don't know about you, but I could easily cut my $120 per month cable bill ($180 if I order a WWE pay-per-view) and replace it with free network television, WWE TV, ESPN networks, Amazon Prime Streaming, and Netflix for a total of $40 a month. This is exactly how a-la-cart will happen and WWE will prove it.
Someone tell me I'm crazy.
