QUESTION OF THE DAY: If you are a WWE Network subscriber, how often do you watch the Network in a typical week? Only for a specific show like the Raw pre-game, Main Event, or NXT? Do you randomly turn on the Network to see what's on? Are you watching more or less than when you first subscribed?

ANTHONY REPLIES: At first I watched WWE Network a lot. Like all day long. Now I only watch it once a week for a new episode of Countdown or The Monday Night Wars. But, I do watch every PPV. I sometimes worry am I getting my money's worth if I don't watch it at least once a day, but then I realize I get every PPV every month! That alone is worth it to me since before I would only get WrestleMania and occasionally Summerslam. I've had it since they started, so it hasn't been a full year yet but when you do the math I've only purchased one-and-a-half PPVs so far but seen more than that, plus all the other shows they offer. Great deal if you ask me.

DAMIAN IN FLORIDA REPLIES: I watch the WWE Network around once a week now. Obviously the monthly PPV is a must-watch due to the price. Weekly, I either watch NXT (although I skipped the last two weeks due to lackluster shows since "Takeover") or look for a new original program. I dropped Main Event three months ago. Many originals feel like I've seen them already with the way footage is re-used and I never check the live program feed since it's not really "live."

I am watching less programming (I am a Day One subscriber) right now, but that may change at any moment. I'm burned out on the current Raws and Smackdowns and that stops me from indulging in more wrestling, especially since I'm old enough to have seen most of it. I have tried to watch every PPV in order unsuccessfully. I have Network buffering issues at home because I'm not the only video watcher, so I have to pick my spots. Going in, I thought I would pump out every ECW TV episode and devour Nitro again in order, but something is holding me back. It doesn't look like I will watch all the content in this lifetime.

DERRICK IN UTAH REPLIES: I am of the belief that the Network was custom made for a fan like me. Prior to the arrival of the Network, I was somewhat of a wrestling DVD collector. Currently, I possess a library of titles and I was in the business of seeking out rare WCW, ECW, and WWF events. With the Network, the rare gems are now at my disposal. Needless to say, I cash in on the immensity of matches and events available. I probably watch at least an hour of the Network daily. I have a Netflix account, but I rarely find a show on Netflix I would rather watch then wrestling. In addition to classic matches and events, I also watch NXT and Main Event weekly. I love the Network. It is an incredible value.

VIP MEMBER KEN IN SANTA CLARA, CALIF. REPLIES: I'm in my second six-month commitment having becoming a subscriber back in March. I've stuck with the Network primarily for the opportunity to watch PPVs other than WrestleMania and Summerslam. Though the specials, like the Brock-Cena special for Summerslam, is always a plus.

However, what brings me back on a regular basis is the chance to watch all the unedited, non-digitized, WWF Attitude Era PPVs, Raw and Smackdown shows. I have some on DVD already, but the chance to watch Raws/Smackdowns and non-Big 5 PPVs from 1998 to May 2002 with the WWF scratch logo in plain sight is what makes me continue to subscribe for $9.99. That's the era that got me into wrestling and made me a fan, so that nostalgia trip makes it worthwhile. Also, watching the WCW library of PPVs, Clash of the Champions, and Nitro is another reason I continue my subscription.

I would like to see more original content and more regular upload episodes of Raws, Smackdowns, Sunday Nights Heat pre-SD, and episodes of Nitro and yes, even Thunder. Also, more ECW and I'm also curious about the AWA as well. Overall, I'm satisfied with what's available at this time and will continue to subscribe until something changes that forces me not to anymore.
