Great read, Rainmaker. Thanks for the share!

Loved the words on #7.... lol

As of right now, the WWE Network is still under 1M subscribers... disappointing to say the least but with this 'Global Roll Out' plan, the different pricing options/tiers... things should definitely pick up.

Have faith that Vince and company can make it happen!

Do you think we'll see an "NWO" Reunion for Hogan's Birthday next week on RAW?

That would be pretty sweet! lol WWE

'Vince - Go Big or Go Home'

So I've seen a lot of complaints about the marketing/pushing of the WWE Network during last night's RAW show. Honestly, I didn't mind at all.. and thought it was kind of funny. From a business standpoint, this WWE Network can't fail... because if it does, it puts the whole future of the company at risk. So fans need to realize that this Network has to succeed in order for the company to move forward. #BestForBusiness

Regardless, I'm glad to see their 'Global Roll Out' plan in order to make sure The Network is accessible through out more countries. Vince is definitely going with the 'Go Big or Go Home' and strategy and I think in the long run, it will pay off.

Once this hits $14.. I'll finally be in the green and I'm hoping our patience for us longs here definitely pays off. I'm a big time wrestling fan and enjoy the business/industry... just hope I can make a few bucks in the process!

Have a good one!
-CP

Good stuff! I've been in and out through out the past few months, but really like this play long term. Watching from the sidelines for now, but definitely looking to get back in. PLUG

Best of luck!
-CP

What's your timetable for 5M?

I just want to see them break 1M some time this year. That would be a great step.. as they continue the roll out plan into other counties and then make a move toward 2M paying members.

I have the WWE Network and think it's awesome. Hopefully this 1-week free trial will get a nice amount of new/added subscriptions on board. We shall see.

Have a good one!
-CP

Nice! Looking forward to a solid week here. Let's get to $5 and keep bumping up! PLUG Power

-CP

There's been mixed reports on that... some were saying 1M by WrestleMania and then 1M for the first year, after it was obvious the original roll-out didn't go as planned.

I'm a wrestling fan, an investor, and I'll continue to have the Network... enjoy the PPV's, etc. But I just wonder what they have to do in order to get more people on board as subscribers. I've heard ideas of opening more of the RAW collection from the 'Attitude Era' to providing content from the Independent Scene.. thus making the Network home to ALL wrestling fans, not just WWE fans. In theory, it would increase the number of subscribers and also increase funds from the companies paying the WWE for a viewing platform. But then again, do you want competition being showcased on your Network? What are the pros and cons?

Vince and his team have to figure this out.

On a different note...

Disappointed in the Diva's Division... that to me has been a glorified bathroom break. Also curious to see what they do with John Cena at Money in the Bank. Does he go back to being Champ (again) or do they push a new younger talent...?

Okay, wrestling rant over!
-CP

Wow! That's just crazy! #FollowTheMoney

Makes the couple hundred shares I picked up today look like pennies... allowance money. haha

Keep making moves! PLUG
-CP

No way!? How'd I miss that! lol PLUG
-CP

Watching this AH volume/trades closely...

Just saw one one go through for 66,529 shares. Wow!

Looking forward to seeing what next week brings.

Keep making moves! PLUG
-CP

I hope so, Rainmaker. That 1M mark is a big milestone to hit. Latest reports had them around the 667,000 mark...

Look forward to seeing them expand the Network past North America and beyond!

Long, Strong... WWE
-CP

Great choice of words, Happy Vulcan. Gave you a follow/member mark... and definitely wish you the best of luck.

In a similar situation as you.. things didn't work out, and it's a learning experience for future plays.

Keep at it!
-CP

Just re-loaded here... for that exact reasoning. I like PLUG and where it's headed long term. Had a small chunk of freebies, but jumped back in today in hopes of this next phase up.

Had to clear out a few plays and move some powder around, but I made it happen. lol Feel good about this move. Patiently waiting for things to fall in place here.

Long, Strong... PLUG
-CP

I'm all for it! Definitely think WWE will ride this out and bounce back. However, as a fan, I'm shocked that the WWE Network has not hit the 1 Million mark. I thought for sure they'd have no problem getting to that mark, especially with the amount of fans/followers on the social media front alone.

I have the Network and think it is awesome!

Will continue to accumulate at these levels....

Long, Strong... WWE!
-CP

I feel your pain, brother...

Thought this had some serious potential as well. Left a nice chunk of freebies on the table for some long-term gains. No dice!

Now it's just a symbol in the portfolio I quickly scroll past...

::sigh::

Best of luck with your future moves!
-CP

Still no signs of life?! ::sigh::

Left some freebies on the table here... thinking this had some long-term potential. Yea, about that...

Hope everyone is doing well!
-CP

Interesting... very interesting...



Will be watching this closely tomorrow. Riding freebies here, but it might be time to jump back in. PLUG

Best of luck!
-CP

Just checking back in on the PELE board...

Stupid question... but what are the odds this thing will ever be active again? Any chance we'll ever have access to our funds... or is this basically just dead forgotten lost money for many of us? :-/

Hope everyone is doing well!
-CP

Just checking in on CNOZ...

This was my first! Riding freebies here and hoping one day this thing pops. Any updates or recent news to look forward to?

Hope everyone is doing well!

Interesting read about another Cena title reign possibly being a mistake... makes sense on some levels. -- Thanks for sharing, Chuck!

Personally, I assumed he'd be the next Champ by default... and a part of me is secretly hoping for a return of CM Punk.
(Yes, I know... not happening! lol)

Will be interesting to see in which direction the WWE decides to go with the next Champion at Money In The Bank.

-CP

What did you guys think of the Payback PPV?

For me, I thought the 2 main matches delivered... Cena/Wyatt and the Evolution/Shield. As expected, no signs of CM Punk... but I have to admit, I think it was a solid PPV.. and definitely saw some of the future stars do their thing.

It's great just being able to tune in on the WWE Network and watch all the PPV's.

As for the PPS, looking to make another move this week.. so I'm hoping it stays in that 10-11 range for a few more days.

Long, Strong... WWE

Have a good one!
-CP

Thank you! Was going to give you a 'mark'.. but realized I'm already following you! ha

Keep up the great work!
-CP

Needed to free up some powder for another play today... sold my remaining freebies here. TEMN has been great to me so I'll definitely continue to watch from the sidelines... and wish you longs the best of luck!

#KeepMakingMoves

Have a good one!
-CP

Made a few moves, freed up some powder... and picked up a few more shares just now. Some 1105's... going to keep loading up here.

Let's go! WWE
-CP

Going to ride this out and continue picking up more shares at these levels.

Picked up some 10's this morning... tripled my share count on the bright side. But hopefully WWE can rebound from here.

Good luck to all!
-CP

Picked up a few 17's just now. At these levels, I definitely want to average down and add to the stash of WWE shares under my bed.

Have a good one, gang!
-CP

Awesome tribute by the WWE... definitely take a minute to watch this clip.

Might make a move on these 19's before closing...

Tempting, very tempting! WWE

Have a great weekend all!

Doing some homework here... interesting stuff, indeed!

Best of luck! RFMD

Well played, guys! My entry level was 22 so I would have loved to grab some 21's today. Makes sense to see a significant dip after the WrestleMania hype... especially after many people considered the 'WWE Network' numbers to be a bit disappointing.

Was really hoping they'd be closer to 1M, if not over, by WrestleMania...

Personally, I think the WWE Network is awesome.
-CP

I believe it! COPPER & BEYOND! TEMN
-CP

Interesting. Had to check in here and see if there were some signs of life...

Still no news, or updates... but 1M traded. CNOZ
-CP

It'll be interesting to see which companies try to fill the gaps and actually work their way back to that .01 range. Could make for some good coin if some situations are played right.

Can't believe I stashed freebies here that are now completely worthless. Really felt good about TIVU... but it was clearly not the case.

Tough lesson learned.

Best of luck to all in future investments.
-CP

Interesting, interesting...

Curious to see in which direction SPQS decides to go.

Freebies under the mattress... and patiently waiting!
-CP

Definitely into this as a Long Term play... PLUG

Keeping tabs on this from the sidelines as I'm riding freebies. Hoping for a gradual climb back to the 10-mark as things continue to develop and the company takes that next step!

Best of luck to all!
-CP

::sigh:: So much hope, so much hype behind the ProElite project... and here we are. Taking a huge L.... PELE

Tough lesson learned.
