The $9.99 Deal

We’ve all heard it a million times. And it’s become a guilty pleasure. “The WWE Network…just $9.99”

When the network was introduced to the public in early 2012 (backed by a Skillrex remix of Benny Benassi’s “Cinema”) it took nearly two years for the Network to come out. Initially I was skeptical since I had preferred an actual television channel. However, in an era where Netflix and Hulu reign strong, I purchased a Roku device so I wouldn’t have to be restricted to enjoy the Network on a computer screen and instead on television. Like how I enjoy Netflix and Hulu, the WWE Network has been a thrill. It’s nice on my wallet where I can enjoy every PPV, including past ones for just (you guessed it) $9.99, alone with original series and specials.

People may complain on some of the technical glitches, and yes, I have experienced my share, but it really is a great deal. Give me the history of the WWE for $9.99 anytime I want on my TV as opposed to a one-time fee of nearly $60 for a random PPV.

Call this a shameless plug, but the lengthy wait for the WWE Network, amidst early skepticism, is definitely bang for your buck.
