Observation
By Scott Keith on June 15, 2018
Just an observation:
Can you name another sport or entertainment medium where a fan would rather spend 10 bucks a month to watch shit from 10 to 30 years ago rather than watch the current product on tv for free?
I have a network subscription, and I prefer to watch old stuff that I’ve never seen before, such as the Mid South catalogue, and the Bruce Prichard podcast (which basically talks about shit from 10 to 30 years ago). However, I have almost no interest in watching what the WWE is doing currently.
This would be like a Cleveland Indians fan (which I am) not following the current team, but instead paying a fee to binge-watch the 1994 season and to watch a podcast with two ex-Indian players talking about that ‘94 season.
Strange times. But, in the end, Vince is still getting my ten bucks a month, so I guess he’s the genius in this story. Oh well.
Hey, think of this as well: Without the WWE Network, I have no idea what the blog would have turned into once the Roman Reigns Era began. I certainly wouldn’t be reviewing shit every day, that’s for sure. Much like WWE 24/7 saved me when I got sick of the Cena push in 2006.
But yes, wrestling is indeed a strange bird, more akin to fans who watch and discuss old TV shows than old sporting events.
