WWE Network Allowing 2 Users Share 1 Account

[closet_fan]

According to F4WOnline.com, a WWE representative reportedly told a caller that 2 users will be able to use the same WWE Network account at the same time. Last year, Netflix began allowing multiple profiles per account, and it seems as if WWE will start off by allowing two.

Personally I hope it's true as shelling out that initial $60 is something I'm not looking forward to. Not to mention it should boost sales as more would be willing to fork over $30 between 2 people.

From the opinions I've been reading, that initial sign up cost has most people concerned. Yeah you get 6 months free, but $60 nowadays is a pretty hefty price for those of us with kids, bills, mortgage, etc.

Wait. They say its "9.99 a month (with a 6 month commitment)".

That sounds like you aren't required to pay 60 bucks up front, you are just obligated to pay that 10 bucks a month for 6 months. Is this not the case?

If I'm wrong, then I'm wrong, but it means that their pitch is misleading.

 

[NaptownMVP]

I don't think they have said (which lends itself to seeming like they are misleading on purpose), but it is probably a similar structure as PS+ and Xbox Live, where you buy a block of time all at once, upfront. The bigger the block you buy, the cheaper it is on a per month basis.

From everything I've been reading, the sign up cost is $60 up front for the first 6 months, then they charge you $10 every month after that.

If "I'm" wrong, that'd be great.

 

[Slbrey]

From what I understand u pay for 6 months then you renew for 6 months...works for me..

As for the person marking out about multipal people useing a account...make sure you trust the person who will be useing ur account seeing as they will have access to your username and password and credit card information.

Anyone who has a problem paying $60 for 6 PPV's in HD plus all the other content they're giving you is either a teenager without a job or someone who is so poor they are homeless.

 

[ASKane]

All this does is increase my belief that this is just your cheap trial at the start of something new. I think it is like when a magazine comes out and there is going to be 60 editions and the first is an introductory price of £2 and every other copy is £8. I have a feeling that after the first 6 months the price will go up to something like $30 a month or more. I think they will see in the 1st few months how bad it is financially for them and then hike up the price because unless I am mistaken they haven't said a price after the 1st 6 months.

 

[H33LTurn]

I seriously think the network is not worth the economic commitment. Part of me feels this product is seriously just marketed for parents of younger wrestling fans or retired wrestling fans looking to relive the old days. Between the amount of bills we have to pay in this shit economy, the shitty content WWE puts out today, the fact that we have other services just like this one (i.e Netflix) to pay for, and the shitty content WWE puts out, whats the motivation? That now some friend can mooch of your Network subscription? I don't posses neither the time nor the will to enjoy what the network has to offer.

 

[laodaron]

I don't think that people understand that the $60 commitment will contain 6 PPVs as well. That alone, if there was no other content, is worth the purchase price. WWE content is better now than I can remember, and I was around for the 90s.

 

[Kool Aid Man]

Does the network give you access to the entire library of the WWE to include ECW, WCW, and AWA? For instance could you watch whatever you want when you want or is it more or less whatever it is they have programmed for that time?

 

[Rollins_The_Future]

How does this WWE network work?

I really didn't understand anything about it.

Is it a channel or something or just on the internet?

You have access to their "entire" library. "Entire" meaning what they want to put out there. But you can watch what is there at any time, its not like "Wednesday is ECW day and Thursday is WCW day".

 

[strangephish]

People that were asking about being billed $60 every six months, I got the follow right from the FAQ for the WWE Network

9. How and when will I be billed for WWE Network?
You will automatically be billed $9.99 every month (plus tax where applicable). The charge will show up on your bill as “WWE Network Subscription.”

Looks like it's only going to be the $9.99 a month but I'm guessing if you bow out before the 6 months you will be billed for the remaining months

 

[rtking10]

My understanding was that it was $9.99 a month, but you had to sign up for 6 months. Meaning, you can't just add the Network so you can watch Wrestlemania for $9.99 and then get rid of the service. You will have to add your credit card, and then each month for 6 months you will be charged $9.99. After that 6 month period you can choose to renew it or not. That's the way I interpreted it.

2. How much will a subscription to WWE Network cost?
A monthly subscription to WWE Network is $9.99 per month (plus tax where applicable) with a 6-month commitment.

9. How and when will I be billed for WWE Network?
You will automatically be billed $9.99 every month (plus tax where applicable). The charge will show up on your bill as “WWE Network Subscription.”

As far as complete collections they will have every PPV from wwe ECW and WCW

As for weekly tv shows they will have a collection of old raw smackdown WCW and ECW shows uncensored...I think eventually they will get the full library up on the network but for right now it won't be complete.

People keep assuming WWE is gonna jack the price up eventually but I don't think they will...out of the 59.99 they charged for a single PPV they only actually got to see about 10 dollars out of it anyway so they technically arnt taking a hit here infact people who never purchased a PPV before are more inclined to purchase this now so this could potentially bring in more profits then a traditional PPV did.

I said this before and I'll say it again I very well can see TNA (if they even stay in buisness) and ROH working out a partnership with WWE to get content on the network...eventually we could see WWE not only creating there own sports entertainment product but also publishing all wrestling we see....they could be the ABC of all things wrestling.

So what happens when you watch WM30 and then cancel the credit card?

It's almost like they are saying yeah we'll whack you $60 so you can't do this, but they aren't coming out and completely saying it neither because a 6-month commitment of $9.99 compared to an initial payment of $60 doesn't sound as bad.

 

[Kamala316]

So pretty much if you plan on watching WrestleMania with your buddies at your place, order the Network. Worst case scenario, you get 6 months of the Network (with PPVs), and you cancel after the 6 months is up. Chances are your buddies will chip in for the PPV anyways, so it will end up being less than $60 for you anyways. If you're skeptical, wait and see how it pans out. I won't be getting the Network because if there's something specific I want to watch, I'll find it on YouTube for free.

I'm going to be getting it regardless, but it is pretty cool that they give you the opportunity to share it with a friend. IF I did it that way, I'd use my debit card. I don't use credit cards anymore. So he'd just give me a check after so many months.

Shit like this might not bother some people who are dead set on getting it, but it's something to think about for those still on the fence.

Kamala, I had considered going the route you are. I doubt they can filter EVERYTHING off of YT. Plus if they do, you know stuff will pop up from another user.

One of the things I like about the Network, however, is being able to watch PPVs on my tablet. I'm disabled so I can't sit up until 11 to watch any of them, so laying down and being able to do so is pretty big.

I use a site to watch a live feed and another to watch a PPV the next day, but both are pretty worthless outside a laptop.

^^This , That's how everyone interpreted it including IGN and other Websites that covered the WWE Network Announcement.

Thanks. So you're saying you can back track through previous programs they put up correct?

I was hoping you would be able to search by brand, event, and date or something along those lines.

This sounds like WWE OnDemand.

Or a college student who just had heart surgery and hasn't been able to work since before Christmas.

I don't have a problem paying for it, I just can't afford it at this time and respectfully understand how god damn cheap this really is haha

You should treat yourself after having gone through such a major surgery.

I probably shouldn't be getting it either, but fuck it. I'm in a wheelchair, collect disability and can't drive/work anymore. I deserve a luxury.

I heard that, eventually, WWE content will be removed from Youtube, so that, if you want to see WWE content, you have to buy the Network. I think it is some copyright thing. So, you may be forced to buy the Network if you want to watch WWE content.
