i just did. feels good.

i use paypal, so not paying next month

NXT is legit the only thing keeping me from doing so. Perhaps after the February 11th special.

NXT and the convenience of having instant access to the library is enough to keep me subscribed for now.

If you really want to get rid of it but still want to watch wrestling. Check out what I use to watch indies.

I was considering signing up now that it has properly launched in the UK.

Yeah, no.

I cancelled after my first six months back in the olden days when you had to get six months. I do not regret my decision to do so. It will be a VERY long time before I give Vince and company a dime of my money.

Canceled mine two weeks ago when the writing was on the wall. Not even one if the biggest icons and draws in WWE history could save this **** tonight. Good for Philly for their response no matter the cause (emotional, intellectual, etc).

Same. The closest I've come to regretting was for last night's Lesnar/Cena/Rollins match.

The PPVs are so lackluster these days, they aren't even making any sort of effort to build any matches. So two matches in yesterdays, RR and Lesnar/Rollins/Cena. PPVs now feature Fandango, New Day, Adam Rose, and Natalya when it used to mean something to make it on a PPV. The PPVs took a hit during the brand split, but Tajiri vs Jonathan Coachman had a better build than the median PPV match since Wrestlemania last year.

I did this morning

Your collective act of defiance will soon feel fruitless when you realize WWE is making February free again anyway (seriously, this isn't even them reacting to the Rumble. Dave Meltzer wrote they were doing this in his newsletter last week).

In before Vince blames the decrease in subscriptions on NXT.

I've never spent a penny on a WWE subscription, pay per view or live attendance. The only time Vince ever got money from me was when I bought a Macho Man Randy Savage action figure back in 1992. Pay per views used to be shown for 'free' on British Sky Sports satellite TV for years, then obviously streaming came along.

Nitting it up ITT. I regret nothing!

For those keeping the network just for NXT...NXT is available on Hulu. I haven't spent a dime on WWE since I was a kid and used to record PPVs. Will continue just using streams whenever I want to watch a PPV.

Your second "paragraph" contains two sentence fragments. You should be more careful

My friend moved to England in like 1992 and the thing I was most jealous about was when he told me they got PPVs for free. He also got to go to Hart/Bulldog at Wembley and sent me a bunch of pictures - which of course also produced jealously. I was nine, so yeah.

I personally have never been close to cancelling the network only because I enjoy so much of the golden age stuff. There are also a few more gaps in my wrestling watching over the years that I have been trying to catch up - the good matches anyway. I don't think I'll ever cancel it, at least not for a long time.

However, I can see why people who bought it just for the current product would quit it, obviously.

I'm weird though, when WWE botches something (in most eyes, anyway) I am interested to see they will react to the backlash.

Repeating myself from another thread:

A lot of the reasons we love wrestling enough to be mad about it are available on the Network for 10 bucks a month. Not just NXT, but the back catalog of like all the wrestling ever.

If you want to cancel to make a statement- go ahead- I don't think it will work, but you use your voice as you see fit.

But I still think the Network is an amazing value even if you ignore the current product, and cutting off your nose to spit Vince's face doesn't work so well, 'cause he's still rich and now you don't have a nose.

In a similar vain, I remember back in the 90s my relatives across the country had a PPV hot box. They would record the PPV and then mail it to me on Monday. Then I would record Raw in one room and then go watch Nitro in the other (because of course you can't record one show and watch another like with a DVR or eventually the dual deck VCR). I wouldn't watch Raw until after I watched the PPV (usually would arrive on Thursday, although I would curse the mailman when I had to wait for Friday!). I then had to go on a media freeze for the entire week until it came in the mail (which wasn't that hard in the 90s given that the reaches of the Internet was minimal compared to today. This would be absolutely impossible today).

Looking at it from 2015 eyes, it's hard to imagine such a primitive world ever existed. Now people looking to watch a PPV for free could just find a live stream in real time with ease. Maybe that's why I just don't GAF about today's wrestling. The chase is gone. I used to look forward all week after a show to watch it to the point that it would hurt that I didn't know what had already happened. Now it's just...always there.

But everything that is on the Network is available elsewhere for free. The hardcore fans that do or did pay for the Network did so because they support WWE. I was trying to support WWE when it first launched. I was hoping for a better product and it was better until Bryan got hurt.

Pretty sure that should be "free" there (and "everything" too). I won't suggest that everybody should subscribe to my particular morality, but suspect youtubes of debatable quality aren't the same thing as what's on the network for a variety of reasons.

I'm not talking about YT but that is another source. Everything that airs on the network is available via torrent within an hour of it airing, often in the same quality.

Wtf the stock is UP 20% today?

Because they reached 1 million subscribers due to the UK finally getting the service. I'm surprised it's up 20 percent, but 1 million is a magical number in the on demand business as I understand it.
