Dave Meltzer on this morning's Wrestling Observer Radio reported that WWE are proposing a new four-tiered pricing plan for the WWE Network, with the following options...
FREE: Access to five hours per month, no live shows/NXT/CWC.
$4.99: For smartphones and tablets only - access to the Network and all the PPVs, including WrestleMania, but no access to live NXT or CWC shows.
$9.99: Same as current, but also including live NXT and CWC shows (CWC would be a new weekly season non-tournament based).
$14.99: Including non-WWE content (some rumours that ROH and TNA content will be included, as well as some indies, like WWN and maybe some European indies like PROGRESS), also you get VIP membership, access to be able to meet WWE talent, and you get a vote for the WWE Hall of Fame.
Depending on what rights WWE can get to outside wrestling, that $14.99 price point would be super attractive and darn near essential.

I'm already paying something like $12.99 or so, Canada is more because Canada. I'm fine with the content I have.

WOW! That'd be awesome. 14.99 would be a steal. I'd do it in a heartbeat.

For the tablet only tier, would you still be able to Air Play with a iPhone/iPad and an Apple TV?

I wonder if there is any chance it will include any Japanese content? I am pretty excited for this I have to say - top tier looks really good.

no quicker raw/smackdown upload time? I don't like the month wait to watch recent raw/smackdown.

Top tier looks good.
The first paid option only being available from tablets and smartphones is stupid.
Commercials should be dropped from the 9.99 version at least, ideally the 4.99 one too.

If TNA ends, it should go on "On Demand" along with the other defunct promotions.
Don't make me pay more if it's not new content. ROH, PROGRESS, etc. I get though and it would be a good deal.

Wonder if WWE would try to work deals with both New Japan and Lucha Underground to get their shows on the Network at that price point.

So, basically, nothing changes if we continue at $9.99.
I'm fine with it as is. I don't need Deluxe Fan Perks, as my arena only gets Raw once every 2-3 years anyway.

It would be awesome to have ROH on the network, that alone would be worth the extra 5 bucks.

Small group chats? Hot damn more places to complain about RAW.

I'm fine as long as the current deal stays the same. I don't care about roh or tna or whatever other "perks" are available.

I'll probably stick with the $9.99 plan, but the $14.99 one is pretty good.

I'll stick with the $9.99 plan, but hopefully they'll put at least some notable ROH or TNA matches in the "collections" section, if just to show people who are thinking of upgrading to the $14.99 plan what they'll be getting.

I'll definitely be getting the deluxe. Easier access to independent companies sounds awesome. If they were able to partner up with njpw id be even more over the moon
