This ESPN deal will backfire, and here's why!

Real sports fans don't care about wrestling. Wrestling fans don't care about real sports. The amount of new subscribers will be negligible and existing consumers will be turned off by this soap opera nonsense on their platform. While this is going on the frustrations of WWE fans in the US having to get another subscription that will cost more while losing the library may cause some with fatigue to stop watching. While this works for TKOs bottom line now it will adversely effect viewer retention in the upcoming years.
