Kevin Nash recently spoke on the announcement of the WWE Network. Here are the highlights…
“To me, it’s an interesting concept. My only thing is they’re such a media savvy (corporation), and I just don’t know how many people have smart TVs. I just don’t want to watch “WrestleMania” on a laptop. I’m just hoping they’re able to keep their contacts with Direct (DirecTV) and with the other people — the people who don’t want to watch, the old-school people who don’t watch Hulu or anything else. Your old-standard NBC people still have a chance to see Mania. There’s definitely not a lack of genius in the business model they put together. I think they’re ahead of the curve. People are going to second guess this, and then, they will go “Wow.” Think they wanted to originally try and do what Oprah did. When they saw she wasn’t having success, they said let’s try to change the business model. My son doesn’t want TV. He’s 17. He’s all online. I think when you look at their target demographic is, nobody in America can get the 14-22 demographic to watch television. That’s a demographic people are trying to grab. If you can grab them online with this network, that’s a home run. Nobody can touch this “Call of Duty” crew.”
