When it finally comes out the WWE is fudging their numbers, I won't be shocked one bit. Attendance is down, they offer so many absurd free WWE Network subscriptions just to keep active subscribers, tv ratings go lower and lower each day, etc.
I understand a big TV deal can get them to a safe spot, but I just don't buy it's all rainbows and sunshine when there are so many glaring weaknesses right in front. In the last year of WWE Network subs, I paid for 4 months, got 6 months for 1.98 (two 99 cent offers), and was unsubscribed for 2 months. I'm not even trying to rip the WWE off. 9.99 is so stinking cheap it's hard not to subscribe. But if that's my story, I cannot imagine others. My investment of $41.94 has to be similar to a lot of other users. Similar to lower attendance each and every night. Those have to take a chunk of change out of the absurd tv deals.
