    Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread

    That’s cool, I don’t really use other streaming services but if I’m essentially getting ad free Peacock for nothing I’ll. check it out. It launches March 18, hopefully the interface doesn’t change much

      To add to my last post, at best you're also getting all the shows on Peacock for 1/2 the price of the standalone WWE Network and there's some good stuff on there like the extended episodes of The Office.

        Peacock has shows like 30 Rock, The Office, Cheers, Downton Abbey, Everybody Loves Raymond, Frasier, House, King of Queens, Law and Order, SNL among others are on it.

        Getting those AND WWE Network for $9.99 seems like a nice deal.

          Peacock is a great value for 4.99 a month, the fact I’ll be getting the Network eventually is awesome.

            From what I’ve seen the biggest gripe is that Peakcock isn’t available on the fire stick. Yeah that sucks but its no reason to cancel

                Peakcock might be a very different app.

                  Sounds like current subscribers will be rolled over to Peacock+ subscriptions. That works for me.

                    Huge win for WWE.
                    Does this make it worse they released a bunch of talent last year now? I guess this makes up for the Saudi money they don't get due to COVID.

                      I'm sure they see this as corporate/employee profits, and not at all relevant to the independent contractors that they hire and fire.

                      It also puts the final nail in the coffin of any hope that they will ever treat PPVs as the huge events of the past. We should probably stop calling WWE shows "PPVs" for real now lol.

                        Technically they still are because amazingly not only do they still offer them for purchase that way but people still buy them!

                          Does Peacock have any original programming? I can’t see myself caring about any of their other old stuff except SNL

                            They have a few things, but between how new the service is (under a year old) and whatever covid delays on production, I think a lot is still in the planning stages. They've really just been pushing their library right now.

                              This seems like a strange deal for NBC if the 5 year/$1billion figure is accurate. Even If it doesn’t cost them a penny to add all the WWE subscribers, they’d need approximately 1.6 million subscribers on the 9.99 plan to break even. Is there a hidden value in adding the WWE network to their platform that I’m not seeing?

                                New Saved by The Bell reboot which is cheesy but cool.
