WWE Network is welcomed to canada August 12

So in two weeks Canada will get the pleasure that the US has had for almost 6 month as the Network is coming to a cable and satellite provider on August 12, 2014. It will be a specialty channel on rogers 512 as part of another TV deal with Rogers sportsnet 360 which extends the current that would of run out at the end of the year for another hopefully exciting 10 years through 2024. 360 will continue airing Raw and Smackdown live and will now include Main Event instead of NXT (now on the network) and keeps Bell's paws (TSN) off of wrestling for at least another decade. This comes about because the WWE decision to put Mania on the network has extremely back fired as Mania means that the network would need one million subscribers to break even and have fallen quite a bit short at 700,000 and losing money hand or fist. This that my man Vincent Kennedy McMahon is no longer a Billionaire and that wrestlers are looking around trying to figure where there next paycheck and making sure it is not a pink slip or walking away like A,J, Lee's husband (CM Punk)or going into early retirement like Santino. So the network in Canada will be a bit different than the states and it's not only price (maybe 12 or 14 and 99 cents) it going straight to TV u do not need it hooked into your xbox live but will still have the live events and PPV but will also have the ondemand stuff. Now it is also going to be a part of Rogers any place tv app and it will get going with a free preview on August 12 and it will get the WWE NETWORK closer to a million but not quite. Hopefully Canadian are satisfied with the \network as the American and maybe Mania goes back to the old fashion PPV in the coming years as an once a year thing that satellite and cable companies will gladly pickup. Now how to get Raw or Smackdown back to Toronto Tom mehegan
