Most months I'd probably go with the $5 one, only raising to $10 for Takeover months.

eh I'd probably stay at 9.99. No desire to see TNA or ROH footage despite how good they might be. Don't see the point of the CWC becoming a weekly thing, with RAW needing programming.

Would gladly pay 15$ Knowing how crappy the Canadian dollar is and the power Telecoms have, this is never coming over to Canada and, if by some miracle it does, it's going to be $30. Also, it mentions "Live" access to NXT in the $10/$15 plans, but I can only assume that the live shows would be the TakeOvers rather than going live every week with NXT. And, turning the CWC into its own show is a sign that WWE has no idea how much it's oversaturating the market with content and/or there's a feeling that the Cruiserweights shouldn't be on Raw. |

I'm surprised the big 4 are included in plan 2. I'd have figured they would go the other way; give you all the ppv's minus the big 4.

no quicker raw/smackdown upload time? I don't like the month wait to watch recent raw/smackdown. I think that's something entirely out their control due to USA contract. Even if it's out of their control, it's still something worth considering for the USA contract. Even if getting next-day Raw/Smackdown means WWE offering "Okay, USA- you give us this for the $14.99 plan, and we'll put some USA Network Original shows on the WWE Network library or streamed on the Network", it's still be worth it for WWE- heck, it'd give something for non-WWE fans to consider the Network as well at the lower price points. 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. If it's Lucha Underground and considering how they work with them, it wouldn't be unlikely just for the product. For New Japan- I think the $64,000 question depends on what WWE means when they say "ROH on the $14.99 plan": If it's just ROH's current TV show, that's nothing. ROH's TV show is syndicated, if WWE wanted to they could merely pick up the syndication rights and have it today. If it's ROH's TV show on HDNet, though? Then it's older, a slightly better get with more stars WWE fans would care about- AND it opens up the negotiations since HDNet became AXS to possibly get New Japan's show on the Network. |

Give me some Silk Stalkings to watch after Raw episodes from '93 and '94, and I'm sold. |

I'd be miiiiiiightily tempted by the $15 if it includes potential WWE partners like WWN shows, PROGRESS, RevPro and other places. Heck, if Ho Ho Lun's promotion was on the Network, it'd be cool just to see how other promotions book in their respective countries outside of the usual western style.

Yeah if the partnerships with the indies and foreign companies goes through, I'll definitely go for the $15 dollar version.

Will consider the $15 for the early ticket access and NO ads

I don't see any companies from the ROH/NJPW/NOAH/PWG partnership getting on the Network anytime soon mostly because, well, they're not massive rivals to WWE but they're more of an alternative block if anything with NJPW being the closest thing to a 'rival' WWE has, especially in a market WWE wants.
ROH's name was probably put on the survey because they're the most well-known indie in the world so realistically, the companies that provided talent for the CWC would probably be on there.
Who knows about TNA's situation at this point? I don't think Billy Corgan knows if he owns it right now or not.

In fairness there, even if ROH is the most well-known indy in the world or an alternative block, they ARE an important thing to go in that could get into the Network solely because ROH television is technically a syndicated show (as we saw from how Destination America got ROH television)- it's just that not many people pick up ROH television outside Sinclair channels that have to pick it up. That basically puts ROH on the possibility for the Network, since because ROH is syndicated, WWE Network could just decide "we'd like to put ROH TV on the WWE Network, pay the fee to do so, and it's theirs. |

Oh sure, that is a possibility. I just can't really see a reason for them to get it besides content. I mean, it'd be like if some of FOX's surrogate stations picked up Friends reruns. Like, yeah, they could do that because it's syndicated at this point, but it's an NBC show and all the money from that would go to a rival (a less watched rival, which unintentionally suited the analogy) rather than FOX itself. (If that example made no sense or was wrong, apologies. I come from a country that once had a kids TV network that put the original Sonic cartoon in the same block as 60s Batman. Yes, really) |

Commercials on a paid subscription service drive me nuts. The $15 plan sounds good for that alone. Add in ROH and TNA content to occasionally watch? I'm in.

Non-NBC stations picking up "Friends" or "Seinfeld", non-CBS stations picking up "Big Bang Theory" or "2 Broke Girls", non-FOX stations picking up "The Simpsons' or "Family Guy", etc. it's all par for the course in syndication. |

Am I the only one who's had no problem with ads?
I get a 5 second ad plugging the upcoming big event (right now it's No Mercy) and then right to what I wanted to watch.
