Some Americans still use dialup and have no access to high speed internet even if they wanted it.

I know some companies take advantage but that's really bastardizing the intent of crowd-sourcing and taking away attention from those that need it.

I feel like if they were going to do season sets of Superstars of Wrestling or Challenge or Prime Time, that would have and should have happened around 2007-2008. Now, the ship has sailed. I've got a Sterlite bin of dvds with most of the major shows from the 80s and early 90s. I'm still trying to fill in some gaps, either things I never saw because I was at college and no access to cable, or things I used to have on VHS and want to get back. I've got enough content to probably last me a decade if I wanted to rewatch it all from the start. It's funny though, as much as the old content makes them no money, it's all I'm interested in and don't really care about anything post 2010.

Now, the ship has sailed. It’ll be interesting to see what the replay value is for anything past the Attitude Era in 20-30 years. People will AJ ways be nostalgic for what they watched as kids but with the demo being so old now a lot of ‘80s fans are going to die out at the same time as 2000s fans. I don’t see too many people waxing poetically about Cena vs. JBL in 2050.

Educate me, so when it was an on demand service, subscribers were able to save things they wanted to dvd. Is there a reasonably easy way to archive anything you might wish to watch down the road, like the all star wrestling run?

Movie studios do that a lot with classic movies, the disc is only pressed when you buy it, so there's no problems with stock sitting around unsold. Yes, this was the answer. I've purchased some obscure stuff like this before. WWE really missed the boat on this one.

Forget Kickstarter I was just using it as an example of a concept to raise money and ensure they covered the costs before they released. The E could have said “you want this? Pay me this and when the group reaches the goal we release”.

The things on the Network don't work like that - I mean, I know it can be done because back in 2014 I used my SCART cable in the back of my PS3 and just fed the Red/Yellow/White cable into my DVD recorder and hit Record. But you can download things direct from WWE Network using a program called LetMeAtIt. It's free but the free program is a pain in the balls. Just send the guy the $8 or so that he asks for it and you get an unlocked version that allows you to download entire groups of content pretty much with a couple of clicks. That's how I got everything I wanted. It is in MP4 format, so to make a playable DVD out of it takes a bit of work...but you can just save to DVDs and use like a data disc on a lot of newer DVD players, or burn to a Blu Ray and you are golden. The quality is basically as good as broadcast, you can't see the difference between what you downloaded and what you watched on the Network. I haven't subscribed in well over a year and would love to get in quickly and grab anything new that I've missed but I just don't have time in January, and in February I'm going on vacation for a week so there's probably no shot at getting it done. I think the last good thing I picked up were the Mid South house shows/house show matches that they put up right as they upgraded the site. I hated the new site, was so difficult to find shit.

If WWE is sold to an outsider, it'll be after Vince is underground. He's hell-bent on keeping it in the family.

The way things are now, the company may not be in as good of a spot when the tv deals expire. I'm under the assumption Vince knows that (probably would never admit it out loud), but wants to go out "on top," not in decline. I could see him moving it before then, and a scenario similar to what happened with WCW playing out over the following 10 years or so.

I never thought so until the last year or so, but with the way the business is going I wouldn’t be too surprised to one day pick up my phone and read that Vince has sold WWE to NBC. And to Rossi’s point, today’s announcement is the first step towards this becoming reality.

I am not sure of the situation in this case, but those without access to broadband internet due to technical reasons typically reside in rural or exurban areas. Generally broadband internet is usually provided either by a phone company or cable TV carrier although there are some satellite broadband internet providers outside of those sectors. In some places it isn't possible for the phone and cable carriers to reach out as far as is necessary to serve those customer bases. In the case of the remaining mom & pop cable companies, they might not have the capital to invest in that infrastructure. A lot of people in these areas use a satellite TV carrier like Dish and DirecTV. In the case of the latter, they're phasing out the satellites with no plans to launch new ones and plan to retire the ones in orbit once they reach the end of their service life. DirecTV, possibly with AT&T branding, will phase customers to a streaming model. That will hit hard in areas that don't have the broadband necessary to stream that kind of content, but the company might hope to make it up by getting customers in urban and suburban areas that want the content without having the dish or who can't get clearance for their dish to the sky.
