Wasn't the goal 1 million US subscribers by the end of last year?
And then they hoped to supplement that with another 1 million worldwide.
That isn't happening.

That isn't happening. 1 million was indeed the goal but really - it's only 3 or 4 weeks later. I'm skeptical of this news but somebody sure is buying it. Stock is now up over 20%. |

Thats a great number - but how many unsubscribes have there been over that time period and how many are resubscribers? Also the number of subscribers after Mania when alot of the 6 month/12 month ones run out will be much more telling.

WWE Raw TV Ratings
-- January 26: WWE Raw jumped to a 3.28 rating the night after the Royal Rumble, increasing from a 3.03 rating for the "Legends Reunion" Raw leading into the Rumble.
It was the highest rating since the post-WrestleMania Raw drew a 3.70 rating on April 7, 2014 and second-highest since February 24, 2014, which drew a 3.31 rating the night after the Elimination Chamber PPV.
Raw being a studio show outside of the arena setting apparently did not deter the audience. It helped that WWE presented on cable TV the WWE Title match and Royal Rumble match from the previous night's Rumble pay-per-view...
Hourly Break Down: 4.468 million first hour viewers for the title match, 4.657 million second hour viewers for the majority of the Rumble, and 4.135 million third hour viewers for interview follow-ups.
Also, last year's post-Rumble Raw scored a 3.24 rating, but followed the episode that drew more attention and buzz - Batista's comeback show, which drew a 3.46 rating.

If Brock is indeed leaving then I love the idea being floated about out there of a double turn with Heyman and Reigns with those two pairing up. Makes a ton of sense on so many levels.
Also wondering if the first small seed was planted on Raw when Brock said to Reigns "Unlike him(Heyman), I don't respect you."

There's also this little teenie weeny part of me that might think that Heyman is returning to the booth. Perhaps the E got the definitive word on Brock leaving a few weeks ago and that's when they made the Booker T decision. I think Booker is just kind of placating that spot right now.
A return to the booth for Heyman doesn't make a whole heck of a lot of sense if JBL is still there. So I'm starting to have dreams of a Cole, Heyman, Renee Young booth. (Not really "dreaming" on the Cole part but he isn't going anywhere so I included him)
Vince is obviously all about "Sports Entertainment" and who's more entertaining than Heyman? And what's more prevalent on a broadcast than the broadcast team?

In the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, it was reported that WWE may be dropping the numbering in its WrestleMania branding. The logo for WrestleMania 31 doesn’t show a number and instead has a “Play” button, while the WrestleMania 32 logo features a blue star. The reason for the change is reportedly because Vince McMahon feels that the number system makes the PPV feel “old.” This changes nothing in a practical sense; it is merely the logos that will change.  |

Vince also stopped celebrating birthdays because he didn't want to "feel" "old".
