Mustang Sally
Sells seashells by the seashore
One thought as to the almost casual build-up to WM31: Is it possible WWE is relying so much on their Network that they're willing to take a cavalier attitude toward events leading to March 29....figuring subscribers will be watching anyway, so why ask Brock and Roman to have a big confrontation.....and why bother old guys like Sting and Undertaker by making them appear in person?
Does management reason that bars and restaurants and a bunch of folks who order Wrestlemania yearly will do so whatever action is on tap? They might not buy the Network because they're interested only in Wrestlemania, which attracts more buys than any other PPV.
It's just a thought; I sincerely hope it's wrong.....but in meetings prior to the launch of the Network, do you think that in their development of a long-term strategy as a company, they figured the Network would shield them from the occasional poor PPV, reasoning that they'll get another shot at the same subscribers with next month's PPV? Sure, there will be some folks who unsubscribe, but I figure they take this into account.
I'm still presuming there will be more in-person appearances by the main event performers in the next 3 weeks......but why do you think they're giving us so little to get excited about in the meantime?
