The offer expires Nov. 21. The retail value in HD just a few years ago for those four PPVs would have been $220.<\/p>\n<p><em>Keller&#8217;s Analysis:\u00a0This is an offer that is going to attract a lot of former WWE Network subscribers or first-time customers. I&#8217;m not sure yet the scope of the offer, but multiple people have received it and contacted me. I&#8217;m wondering if someone could take advantage of this, cancel after the Rumble on Jan. 29, and then get a &#8220;free month&#8221; in time for WrestleMania? WWE has the internal metrics that might indicate this is the only way to grow &#8211; to offer something free that&#8217;s just too tempting to turn down for a lot of people, and then bank on a certain percentage sticking around afterward and becoming a paying customer. If their main goal is to have a lot of active subscribers at the end of the year for bragging rights, but it&#8217;s ultimately setting the expectations among the fanbase that they get big events free if they cancel and wait around long enough for the &#8220;next great offer,&#8221; this could also backfire over time.<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-3183342610\"><div id=\"pwtor-369014289\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>WWE has sent out an offer to potential customers on their email list offering WWE Network free &#8220;now thorugh January 31st,&#8221; which includes Survivor Series, TLC, Roadblock, and the Royal Rumble.
