“I think they’re hell bent and set that the WWE network is their future, and I don’t think that is a bad business plan long-term. They are going to be able to control their destiny – good, bad, or indifferent as far as the television product is concerned. I think what they have done is show a lot of other networks what can be accomplished by building your own digital network. I think we will see more various entities follow the WWE model. They may learn from the WWE’s mistakes, as with any business, and see where they fell or fumbled.”

“I think WWE had to take a step back and reduce their head count and budget to be able to take several steps forward. I do believe, in the long haul, the WWE network is going to be very successful. I do, however, think that there were several strategic mistakes that were made and all you can do when you make those mistakes is try and learn from them and correct them. I see what they are trying to do and I think that the wave of the future is going to be this network.”
