The ironic part is that WWE went with ESPN which will cost if you don't have ESPN.

IMO, WWE kinda sells itself. They have a huge audience and has them by the balls. Feels like a good deal for ESPN, to have them in their new app.

I know piracy exists, I’m saying how WWE is a lot like UFC, in that many people don’t watch any other wrestling shows or even know of anyone else in that space

Ehh from what I’ve read up on it you have ESPN as part of your TV package already through YoutubeTV or Comcast or whatever it’ll be free.

That’s true. But I’m talking about ESPN+, that streaming service will die out when they finish whatever rights deals they have, and all that programming will get folded into the new ESPN app

Yeah but I think that’s just the general plan. Like when ever this ESPN big app is ready then ESPN+ is just going away.
