WHY RANDY ORTON ISN’T GOING TO EUROPE, WWE PUSHING THE FREE MONTH, UFC STAR SAYS WWE WANTED HIM, NXT TEAMS UP WITH THE SPECIAL OLYMPICS AND MORE

Due to the upcoming European tour, WWE doesn’t have any house shows tonight or tomorrow. They have events on Sunday in Binghamton and Syracuse, NY. On Monday they have Raw in Buffalo, NY and Tuesday they record Smackdown/Main Event in Albany, NY. Then it’s off to Europe for an almost two week tour.

Randy Orton will not be going on the overseas tour as he will be filming “The Condemned 2”. He noted on Twitter he will start filming on 11/11.

Speaking of Orton, someone wrote on Twitter that they never want to see him turn babyface because it doesn’t suit him and Orton wrote, “Amen to that RT”. I agree with both of them.

When you log on to WWE.com, the first thing you see is a pop up that states you can get a free month in November. They are hoping that the free month can hook viewers. If they really want to hook them they need to heat the product up as well. Part of the issue with the Network not selling is that some people don’t see the urgency to watch the PPVs. If they get people interested, it would make sense that some would try the Network for free. I just hope if they do get a spike in viewers, they are ready to handle it. With the existing subscriber base there are usually issues with the live events where the stream is concerned.
