And still at $9.99 although it comes out to 1232 yen at press time.
So for those who have it, is it worth it? I'm in Japan and I'll almost never get to see any PPVs or RAWS live as they air anyway since they happen Monday and Tuesday mornings here. I have an NJPW World subscription but I haven't really been watching all that often although Wrestle Kingdom is right around the corner.

That's not actually an easy question to answer. The short answer is, your $10 buys you a tremendous amount of content, and, dollar for dollar, it is a really good value. ON THE OTHER HAND. "Worth" is going to be defined by how much you access it and how much you enjoy it. For example, you may have noticed that I'm fairly partial to NXT. I'd say that show plus their four or five live Takeovers a year is worth my subscription. I also watch a pretty fair amount of their original content - I like Table for 3 and Renee Young's show. A lot of people don't care for that stuff, though, and I never watched any of the stuff like Legends House or Total Divas. There's also the back catalog of wrestling television, too, which is the primary draw for a lot of people. They recently added a bunch of old RAWs from 1997 and there's some Mid-South and Smokey Mountain stuff (but I don't know how much), and they've got ECW Hardcore TV up through early 1998 now. I'm probably missing a bunch of stuff, but that should give you some idea of what they've got and if you think it's worth your money.


Edit: Forgot to add, if the RAW PPVs are the reason you're thinking about getting the Network - Don't get the Network. They're probably the least worthwhile things available for you to watch.

I pretty much agree with Tenken. It depends on how much you will personally get out of it. When I had the WWE Network I enjoyed being able to watch old Nitro and Raws, old PPVs and NXT but it got to a point where I just needed to cut expenses somewhere so I cut it simply because I wasn't using enough. If you have the expendable money I say try it for a month and see if you find yourself using it often.

Agreed on the current PPVs too. The Survivor Series PPV also helped me make my decision to get rid of the WWE Network because the only reason I was feeling nostalgic for old stuff was because I was still watching the current product. Once I stopped caring about the current product I didn't care as much about the old stuff.

Will WWE offer you a free month like they do here in the USA?

As far as I can tell, they aren't offering a free month yet. Perhaps when January comes around they will. Thanks to those who replied for the input.
