    I'd love a tier system for the network. I don't watch current day WWE so getting the (main selling point of) PPVs each month for 12.99, for me, is excessive.

    I'd love a retro tier where you just get old WWF, WCW and ECW for say 5.99 or 6.99. 12.99 definitely isn't worth it when you're not interested in current stuff. Especially when you compare it to..

    Netflix - 11.99
    Amazon prime - 7.99
    Disney + - 6.99
    Now TV - price varies but sports to movies is around the same price as the network.

    that'd be cool but i bet WWE would just make the network worse pricing, like $9.99 for the historical stuff, $13.99 for everything u get now!


    Although i'm salty as Ireland pays literally the most for a WWE Network sub in the world, at €12.99

    Odd alright you think they'd have held it off till after a PPV like normal too.
    I think the talk was that Heyman was high on Ricochet but who knows know with Pritchard in charge.

    Doc was okay but nothing special it was really just a whole documentary of Ricochet being happy where he was.

    I can't believe that I haven't spent a single day in America since I signed up, I'm paying with an Irish card and they're still charging me $9.99. Now why I still pay even that much is another question.

    If you look on the Bargain Alerts forum you'll see people paying much cheaper for Netflix via Turkey, you're getting the same thing it seems

    There's probably a cheaper country for the Network out there as well to set up from

    I'm one of them for Netflix, tried with the Network before and couldn't get it to work unfortunately but if someone figures it out I'd love to know

    I remember signing up for the Network back around 2014/2015 using a Hola VPN, my BOI debit card and an address in Florida that I previously stayed in on a holiday, I was paying $9.99 every month with BOI's FX rates/charges added so it was always around €9.00 mark per month. Cancelled my account back in 2017 and when there was a 3 month free trial a few months ago the same account still worked again fine

    I think with Netflix/Turkey you can cancel your Irish account and then with specific steps re-activate it again the next month via a VPN to get Turkish billing, maybe you can't do that with the WWE Network, you may have to try signing up to it for US billing with a brand new account with a US address

    I tried signing up to the Network from Hong Kong at one point I think but couldn't get it to work. I think I tried with a new account altogether.
    I am paying the American cost at the moment I think.

    I've been signed to the network since day one and if WWE really wanted those of us at the time who weren't in the US then, they'd have found a way to stop us. If they haven't bothered after six years I think we are good.

    Ya same here. Day 1 in the US, i signed up.

    When i go into my account settings on the Network now, it says the monthly charge is €12.99, but I'm never charged that, I pay the euro equivalent of $9.99

    Clever! It's incredible Ireland get charged literally the most out of any country in the world for the network. Tunnelbear or something else?

    They have but I couldn’t tell you if it’s on the network. Btw I see six documentaries featuring Bret Hart. I know that Bret hart owns the rights to his footage which was why stampede wrestling was removed from the network.
