Even if the number on the network is good (let's say a realistically great number would be a 100k increase) the stock will go down because its not a million. So good number bad number the stock is going down.

So good number bad number the stock is going down. Said it in WWE current, but with Vince going Broadway Joe with the million buys thing, it has hurt them. 600K subscribers domestic at launch should have been a big deal. When it came in at 40% less than what the guy in charge was promising, no way it could look good. If they increase to near that number, you'll see a drop but not a significant one. So 800 to 900K subscriptions would be "almost good enough". If, God, Zeus, Buddah, and The Flying Spaghetti Monster help them, they come in under the initial numbers or even barely above them, Vince might want to look into Bolivia for retirement. That's gonna get real ugly real quick. If this combines with any negative news, then yikes.

I think what would save the Network is more first-run programming.
If I were WWE, I would offer ANY wrestling promotion in the world to run a show on the Network. The catch? Well, of course, they have to pay for it. That's how Vince got on so many tv channels in the 80's to begin with, here's a tape, here's a check, run the tape.
Companies can sell ads on the show AND promote their non-Network live events, which for indies is the big thing, it's still a ticket business compared to WWE who is no longer mainly a ticket business, it's a TV business.
Start by extending an olive branch to TNA if Spike punts them. Might just help their attendances.
Start by opening a single, two-hour block per week, in prime time, on a day primary WWE programming isn't on. Companies send in their matches, and their check. Network decides what airs, and airs 2-hours of indy matches from all over the world.
Japan has something similar, I don't remember what its called or if it even exists anymore, but many indies aired on that show.

What would it actually take for them to pull the plug on it?
That would be a god damn shame. I'm apparently one of few, but having an on-demand archive of content like this is pretty much the greatest thing that could've happened. Yeah, it's not everything. But it's still amazing.

I don't think they can honestly. There is too much invested in the tech. part of it and in acquiring footage as well as making that footage broadcast ready. Plus they cannot go crawling back to Dish, Direct, ATT and the other cable companies without losing everything.
