Update On Potential Changes And Additions To WWE Network

WWE has recently been surveying fans about possible changes, and additions to the WWE Network. As we’ve previously noted, one previous survey displayed a multi-tier pricing system that would provide a subscriber with certain access, depending on which pricing tier they have chosen. That same survey also gauged interest level in “independent wrestling content, such as TNA and Ring of Honor.”

Another survey has recently been released, once again addressing the possibility of future changes and additions to the WWE Network. Some of those possibilities included superstar meet-and-greets, rewards for year-long subscriptions, and more.

Below is a list of ideas proposed in the survey:

– Receiving a “crate” of WWE merchandise for subscribing for a year’s worth of the WWE Network at once.- Receiving a free month of the WWE Network by referring it to friends and family who sign up for three months.

– Receiving discounts on the Network price if you pay for a year in advance.

– Having the ability to stream the Network on four devices at once.

– Free shipping of WWEShop orders.

– Having a “family” plan to stream it in different locations.

– The ability to download material onto devices to watch while offline.

– The ability to play WWE-themed games on the Network app.

– Closed captioning of live events in other languages.

– Be part of a test group to give feedback on new games, merchandise and Network programming.

– Be entered into raffles automatically for trips to major WWE events and similar contests.

– Subscriber exclusive meet and greets with WWE talents.

– Exclusive chats with WWE talents where you would be able to ask talents questions.

– Creating and sharing video playlists with friends and family.

– Exclusive Network content including previews and behind the scenes content.

– Exclusive second screen content during WWE programming exclusively for subscribers.

– Getting 3 months of Starz with a 3 month subscription to the WWE Network.

– Voting on the WWE Hall of Fame inductees.

– Specified video suggestions based on talent searches.

– Greater ability to bookmark and play specific matches in events, as opposed to just playing an event from the start.

Like with previous surveys, it’s unclear if WWE will actually apply any of these ideas. For now, it just appears that WWE is searching for fan feedback.

Paige Proposed To Alberto Del Rio At Wrestling Show, Paige’s Father Against It

proposed proposal paige alberto del rio wwe wrestler wrestlers total divas

Suspended WWE wrestler Paige proposed to her boyfriend Alberto Del Rio Sunday night inside of the squared circle … then talked about the surprise engagement with a local reporter.

Del Rio wrestled tonight against Carlito in Puerto Rico for WWC and Paige hit the ring moments afterward to drop on one knee and ask for ADR’s hand in marriage.

Paige spoke with Pico’s Reviews afterward and said she felt good after popping the question — mainly because it would have been embarrassing if he had said “no” in front of a bunch of people.

Alberto is still in the process of going through a divorce.

Paige’s father posted on Facebook that he is totally against his daughter marrying Alberto:

Last Night’s TNA Impact Wrestling Almost Pulled?, Some TNA Talents May Walk If Not Paid This Weekend

As noted, TNA held their television tapings last week that gave them enough content for the show to air through December. Dave Meltzer noted on the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio that this weekend is a pay period and talent are supposed to get paid. While TNA received funding before Bound For Glory for the uplink and production of the PPV and subsequent television tapings, it’s not clear if it was enough to pay the talent through the end of the year. Meltzer noted that not paying the talent would breach their contracts, and he knows that “a couple of guys” are ready to declare themselves free agents next week if they do not get paid this weekend.

Meltzer also reported that last night’s Impact Wrestling was almost pulled by Pop TV yesterday afternoon due to a musical rights issue not related to the Billy Corgan lawsuit. The show ended up airing with some wrestlers coming out with dubbed in crowd noise instead of their music. It was noted that there was a period yesterday where it looked like there was a good chance that Pop would pull the show until the issue was settled and the songs were edited out of the show.

Billy Corgan Suing TNA Wrestling

TNA Wrestling President Billy Corgan has just sued the company, as well as it’s Chairman — and Pro Wrestling Sheet has learned he’s attempting to keep the reason private.

According to court records, Corgan filed a complaint yesterday and asked for a temporary restraining order against the defendants … which includes Dixie Carter, her husband, Dean Broadhead, Impact Ventures and TNA Entertainment.

The order was approved this morning by a judge.

We asked the court clerk what the defendants are being restrained from doing, but were told Billy’s lawyers requested that all documents remain sealed — so they aren’t allowed to say.

The initial filing was first reported by PWInsider.
