On another note, apparently in the list of new shows there was some mention of Attitude (don't remember this myself).

Bryan Alvarez reckoned this might be Attitude Era Raws.

Will be clarified at the press conference.

According to Variety 8 new shows will be announced. Still hoping for Steve Blackman: Bounty Hunter.

The new Network subscriber count is announced at 5pm our time.

If the number is up dramatically I really hope Lesnar and Rollins get the credit for being 2014/15's MVPs and not Vince looking at Reigns, see I told you he's money!

Quick Q, are Raw/smackdown broadcast live on the network? Or is it back.to traditional methods..

The weekly shows are their largest source of revenue. It would be financial suicide to air them live on the Network.

Watched Mania via the PS3 last night and for the most part the quality was fantastic. As if you are watching regular TV. However there were a handful of strange glitches. For example during the HHH/Sting match my stream jumped back to the opening ladder match for 2 or 3 seconds at a time and this kept happening for like 30 seconds. Then during a later match it would jump back to the Sting/HHH match for 2 or 3 seconds. Very odd. It did lead me to shout out an expletive but overall I was quite happy with the quality.

Had more than a few drinks last night and thought the new WWE network shows were pisstakes when the advertisement aired.

They look uniformly awful.

Not sure how important the Network number today is. Surely they had a surge in subs for Mania and surely its now important how many of them they keep going forward?

Personally Id never bother signing up and then cancelling and then signing up again throughout the year but I guess some people will? Im away for a couple of months soon but I wont be cancelling just to save 20quid

Share price is pretty much determined by future projection of earnings not current earning. It is all a big con/shell game essentially.

True, but I don't think most investors who just look at figures see it that way. There's been examples of it before. We'll see.

OK here's the screenshot from last night:



"Attitude Era On VOD" is there, wonder if that means they will be uploading a load of new episodes.

Unfiltered with Renee Young, Culture Shock with Corey Graves, and an Evening with Hardcore Legend Mick Foley are three other shows in the graphic which I guess they will announce today.

Vince said Seth Green's comedy is like South Park in WWE form.

Swerved is pranks on WWE superstars.

They wont go public with the number of people who stayed with the network after the November free month

A Primal Nut

They are saying there are 100m active fans; presumably that's worldwide. Hmm.

Vince: "And believe me, our audience can tell us, despite our post-production, whether someone is a genuine superstar or not."

Vince" We took Sting from Obscurity"

Regarding Sting:

"We took someone from obscurity; developed that character, and he ended up in the main event of WrestleMania".

Interesting take on things. You'd swear he'd never been on tv before.

I hate the way they call every big match at Mania a "main event"
