The end of Sky WWE Box Office Events ? Nobody will want to pay £14.95 when they can watch it on WWE Network for £6.25.

Eeeeexcellent.

However, how soon are PPV's available to watch as reruns? And are the streams in HD ?

This could be the deciding factor on wether I cancel Sky Sports. It's easy enough finding live streams for footy / F1, but finding whole wrestling shows can be tricky as I don't like using torrents.

Tragic, I gave up watching when I was 12 and my mum got me a calendar with 12 half naked men on it

The network isn't selling nearly as well as WWE hoped. Their traditional PPV business has only halved. There are still people who would rather pay more than get it online. I imagine most of them lack confidence in the technology (buffering, small screens, low resolution, unreliable connections etc), some are about not having a decent internet connection - either they have the speed but not the monthly allowance or have the allowance but not the speed to get a decent picture. Plus there are people who just don't like change, so I don't imagine it will be the end just yet. Especially if Sky reduce the price as well.

They did have an issue where you had to commit to 6 months, they recently introduced a monthly fee at $12.99 but announced yesterday they were doing away with that and now it's a straight $9.99 a month without commitment.

But if they really want to get people to subscribe, they need to freshen up the product. There is too much sameness about the feuds, especially at the top of the card.

Years ago WWE was useful for filling gaps between programs but when they gave contestents a mic to verbally abuse their opponents before the match started and often finished very quickly I cant believe that people pay to watch these non events.
