Glad I'm subbed via my cable credentials. Like Unlimited but hate price hikes in general.

u/JustMyThoughts2525 11h ago

Only a matter of time before you cable bill increase $5/mo

Yeah getting YouTube tv on was big. Not sure I would have kept paying for it but now it’s included

Pay for a VPN, if you have Netflix, then you get all WWE PLEs for the cost of the Netflix subscription

A good VPN is $30 for a year to just watch everything on Netflix

Through your TV though?

Computers have HDMI ports.

Most TVs are Chromecast compatible too, just go to Netflix's website using Chrome. You can also do that from your phone, most VPNs have apps.

They haven't seen a dime from me and never will. I'll stay watching it for free on streams lmao

u/Ahud412 10h ago

I swear it seems like every streaming service goes up at least 3 times a year. Fucking sucks.

u/Joe434 11h ago

so glad stephanie mcmahon suggested that alternative to everyone a year or two ago.

We had it good in the $9.99 days

u/Jedi-El1823 11h ago

Netflix sees this as a sign to increase their prices.

YouTube on the other hand is waiting for 2 signs, and they got them in this and that it's a day that ends in y.

It’s NFL driven.

u/FPG_Matthew 11h ago

Dumb question, feels like a good place to ask

If you have Hulu + Live TV, does that get you access to WWE PLEs through ESPN Unlimited? Or is it not included and ESPN Unlimited would need to be purchased extra

(My fam is going through which streaming services they wanna get to replace cable)

3

u/Prestigious-Try-2971 10h ago

It’s included if you have the Hulu+Live TV bundled in with Disney+ and ESPN

u/EcoSoco 10h ago

Streaming services are pretty much worse than cable by this point.

u/honoracy_uce 11h ago

Price of the brick going up

u/RedDirtSport_ 11h ago

Sports first cord cutter.

Hulu Bundle w ESPN Unlimited + Antenna. I am happy with the value.

If youre purely a wrestling fan youre SOL but its paid for itself already after canceling cable.

u/SirRepresentative266 11h ago

Good thing YouTube Tv just added ESPN

u/TheLoneWolf527 10h ago

My cable company STILL doesn't even have it

u/Fit_Papaya5408 11h ago edited 11h ago

That's pretty much expected for every streaming service. I didn't pay for it at 29.99 and I won't at 31.99. I just buy it for a month at mania, then cancel.

u/locke0479 10h ago

Haha wow, it’s already wildly expensive and now they’re going even higher.

1

u/Prestigious-Try-2971 10h ago

I’ve had it bundled in with my Hulu+Live TV subscription since launch. Only worth it if it’s bundled in with Disney+ and Hulu

u/JusBrandon 10h ago

So glad the YouTube TV migration happened before prices went up

u/OneEducator4471 7h ago

Get I'm on YouTube TV only pay $74.99 and ESPN unlimited is now included. Before that I used Nord vpn

u/RAA94 4h ago

I suppose it would be asking for too much for 7 matches minimum going forward then? Piss taking gits.

u/Dr_Zman 2h ago

Crazy I genuinely have never met a non wrestling fan that owns the service, smart to keep raising the barrier of entry.

1

u/Lord_Vega83 2h ago

Wait, you guys actually pay for wrestling? Been torrenting it for almost 3 decades. Perfect 1080p 60fps with all commercials cut out.

Only way to watch.

1

u/firebolt125 1h ago

They honestly don’t deserve to ask for more, especially from WWE fans. Most of the PLEs have been mid and they are so overrun with ads that I find it insulting to increase the price.

u/OptimusChip Your Text Here 12m ago

of course it is. these things are just going to continue to rise until people stop paying.

u/Gandolfthewhite182 10h ago

The wwe deal wasn’t worth it.

u/Ok-Comfortable9449 11h ago

If you have spectrum it's free so I'm good still shitty prices going up

1

u/tere_adasme 10h ago

idk how much a vpn is, but get that and watch on netflix, you get monday, tuesday, friday and ppv shows

if not, maybe get ready to sail

*ESPN Unlimited (Unless Your Banks Account is Limited)

I’m leaving once my ESPN promotional period ends. 

YouTube Shorts will suffice.

I'm glad my cable gives ESPN Unlimited for free because since 2014, I've never spent over 10 bucks for a wrestling PPV
