They’re wrestling with twoenormous hurdles: launching the WWE Network and completing important TV RightsFee Negotiations. Almost weekly I pulled together the speculative data with theknown details and offered my thoughts. As you go through this compendium you’llsee how the facts on the ground continued to evolve leading up to launch day.You’ll see an evolution of thought – from a premium Channel to an over-the-topNetwork. As a fan, I remain excited and optimistic about the future of WWE,especially with such an innovative approach to content delivery. As an analyst, I’ve remained guarded aboutthe financial prospects for success and intrigued at the ever-evolvinglandscape. - Chris Harrington, Download the FREE 83-Page PDF: https://sites.google.com/site/chrisharrington/mookieghana-prowrestlingstatistics/wwe_network/wrestlenomics_wwe_network_analysis_03_06_2014.pdf |
