Link: WWE Network?
Depends on what someone would consider "greatly."
I have no knowledge of the numbers, but is WWE really doing that greatly on their network? Of course WWE annihilates all competition in wrestling, but I have the link below and recall several other articles where it is still kind of precarious.
Just my perception, I don't think there will ever be that great of a number that will pay for wrestling on a regular basis...I sure won't! The only way we will ever truly know is if they pull it off regular cable. I think they'd gain a million subscribers, but would lose much more revenue.
As for Impact/Global/or whatever, I know Slickster and some apologists say it still exists and that everyone else was wrong, but it is still a non entity. Besides, for the luck of getting the Money of all Money Mars we know it would have died less than a year.
I say they need to just gut it and start over. It's still WWE/WCW Minor League and always will be with the same tired names. Else, I think it really is in a death spiral.
About the streaming, I seem to recall hearing on Squared Circle Radio that one of the aims for WWE Network is to somehow get almost all indy and other promotions shows, such as ROH, in the U.S. and beyond and show them on the network. Now that is something I might, might, think of springing for if it's still not more than $10 a month.
