On January 8, 2014 the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) announced that they would launch their own streaming service on February 24, 2014 called the WWE Network. Very similar to other streaming services like Netflix and Hulu, the WWE Network is the first of it's kind and is very over the top to an extent that other streaming services do not have. This was a risk that WWE CEO Vince McMahon was willing to take and so far it has succeeded.Welcome to WWE Network
The network as I like to call it is full of wrestling content from as far back as the late 1970's all the way up until now. It allows you to watch very Pay Per View from the WWE, the defunct WCW (World Championship Wrestling) and the also defunct ECW (Extreme Championship Wrestling) ever created. Old shows such as Raw, Smackdown, NXT, WCW Nitro, Saturday Night's Main Event, Tribute To the Troops, Tough Enough and much much more. Plus the greatest and best thing about the network is that you get every new live pay per view that the WWE airs each month as well. The network only cost $9.99 per month which is a deal and a steal in my eyes. Now you can stream the network on just about any device that allows you such as XBOX, PlayStation, Smart TV's, streaming boxes, mobile devices and laptops.
I have been subscribed to the network since its launch in February 2014 and I absolutely love it. There isn't a day where I don't turn the network on and check out so classic wrestling content. At times I find myself getting so caught up in watching content that most of my day is gone because I watch so much of it. There are so many things about the Network that I love and there are very few things about the Network that I am not a fan of. Being able to get every live PPV every month from WWE is the best thing about this network. For years I was unable to watch the live monthly PPV's because they cost $55.99 per month. Now that I have the network I can watch all of these live PPV's every month for $9.99. Also with all the classic and new programming on this network it makes it a must have for every wrestling fan. The one thing that I do not like about the Network is the search engine installed in the network. The search engine in my mind sucks. Its very frustrating to try and search for a specific match on this search bar. WWE needs to clean this up ASAP because it is very stressful
Overall the Network is a great thing that will revolutionize the entire wrestling industry. Other wrestling companies have tried to create their own network but for me I will always keep my subscription to this network because of the price which is $9.99. Thanks Vince McMahon you have made it easier to gain access to your wrestling company.
