1. You can't compare anything WWE is doing to what other companies are doing. They ARE wrestling. The other companies (Including AEW) are crawling around for scraps.If they’re doing better than the other wrestling networks, then I don’t see 1.1 million subs as a fail. It was never going to be anywhere near Netflix or Disney+ levels and they’re actually in-line with the number of people who watch their show weekly. The next step would be to produce binge-worthy shows in WWE Studios that don’t feature their trash a** talent like Kane or Alexa.
2. Originally, 3 Million was the number WWE put out there as the benchmark that considered the Network a success. Years after that, it then dropped down to 2 Million.
3. Yea I don't think anyone felt it would be on the level of NFLX or DIS. Not even the biggest WWE fans were that delusional.
So it was actually WWE that told us what should be considered successful.
The WWE Network has amassed more than a million viewers since World Wrestling Entertainment launched the subscriber network a year ago, and WWE chief strategy and financial officer George Barrios told CNBC on Tuesday that in the next 3-5 years it could reach 3-4 million subscribers.
