Latest on the WWE Network - DirecTV Not Interested

WWE's website did 12.5 million unique visitors in May, down 9% from the 13.7 million in May of 2011. WWE's shop website averaged 645 orders per day in May, down 23% from May of 2011.

- Word is that DirecTV has no interest in carrying the WWE Network, which would knock about 30% of its potential revenue off. There's been talk that very few cable carriers are committing to paying a per subscriber rate for WWE's Network, which is what the company was counting on for profitability. The alternative is to be like HBO or Showtime and charge a subscription fee directly to consumers.

There's still no official word on when the Network will launch but they cut a new commercial for it this past week that should begin airing soon.

This is not gonna work out so well.WWE is not that BIG to be having there own network there ratings are shitty compared to NBA,NFL etc.Wrestling is not even a popular sport to begin with so I can see why cable providers would not want to pick this network up.
