The funniest WM outcome would be Uncle Howdy distracting Cody so Roman can get the win followed by a year long Cody/Bray feud

bebaloorpabopalo: Nov 23, 2005; I'm not interested in constructive criticism, believe me.

Cody could actually salvage a Bray Wyatt storyline.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.

Can�t wait to see Cody�s pyro tonight

Two things:

1. WWE wasn't great at it when they owned the service.
2. Endeavor is going to immediately try to get out of that deal.

I thought the WWE network worked really well.

I just saw how much debt Endeavor was carrying before this deal lmfao there is gonna be a bloodbath + very expensive monthly PPVs

It�s going to be really funny.

Depends

From a fan perspective it was great. $10 a month is not much for a ppv every month (or 2 if the timing worked out on the day you subbed and the ppv date. Sometimes you could sub for 1 month and get 2 PPVS and unsub right after) and obviously their catalog

From business perspective I don't think they ever saw much growth in subscriors. I want to say over the years it constantly dropped and never got back to the heights it had when it launched. It would spike for the big 4 but it never retained that many.

Edit: also I think they realized selling access to their catalog is huge money. Peacock is like what 1 billion a year or something?

Congratulations!

If they need a quick cash infusion Endeavor could sell Tony the WCW and ECW back catalog.

ngl Roman abandoning his loser cousins and joining hands with the spooky puppet man would be the best thing imaginable, especially if it comes out of Bray costing Cody the title

I loved how it worked and looked. But they left things to desire with classic content. They have too much stuff to only drop 8 episodes per month on the Network like they were.

Like Cody I am focused. I am not worried about the distractions. My Canadian friends have laid the groundwork and now all I must do is ride the Codyvator to the grandest stage of them all and hope the Pyro doesn�t explode my dog again.

ah yea from that angle that makes sense. the licensing for the catalog is probably way more valuable than trying to sell it on their own.
