Our Take
A subscription service seems like a forward thinking model for wrestling to move into, but unless they offer some kind of lower tier free package, they're not going to convince non-fans like me to give wrestling a shot. However, I bet wrestling fans who want to watch more programming at a cheap cost couldn't be happier. This subscription model feels like one more blow to TV packages and one more notch in the belt for streaming services and devices.
