I'd have the same picks, with only two differences.

I'd take the Outlaws over the Uso's. I think they'll get a rematch at Mania...though, that's one I could see going either way.

The other one...Orton will win. Either by hook or by crook, he's going to win...I don't like it (and neither does anyone else, judging by fan reaction and the ratings drop), but it's what is going to happen.

I don't know. I may or may not be able to watch it, since I'm a Dish customer, and they decided to go angry 3 year old over the WWE Network.

You could always join us down on the thin area of flowing water, if you catch my drift...

Not a fan of the practice, I'll admit. But I guess I can blame Dish for it.

I've kinda been expecting them to retract the decision, with all the s**t they're catching for it. But even as I posted a message about it on their FB page, with 2 separate replies from Dish representatives, it seems they're truly sticking to their guns.

The worst part? They're claiming that it's on OUR behalf...

The convo:

Me

I've been a faithful DISH customer since roughly 2006. I've never had a problem with your services, until now. Why in God's holy name would you suddenly, unceremoniously drop support for WWE fans like myself?

I get it. You're mad about the WWE Network. So why then do you screw over the fans who have chosen to stay on the side that allows YOU to continue to profit? All around ridiculous business move, and whoever was involved in the decision, should be fired. Immediately.

At this point, I'm afraid I must inform you that I'm now considering myself open to negotiations with other service providers. This is NOT how you do business...

DishNetwork

Angel, we understand your concern with this. DISH continues to provide a variety of WWE programming, including WWE Raw on USA, WWE Smackdown on Syfy, WWE Main Event on Ion and WWE Total Divas on E!. At this time, WWE pay-per-view events are not available on DISH. -Brad T.

Some guy named Justin

It doesn't matter that you "offer" a variety of WWE programming. The #WWEChamber PPV is tomorrow, and you are refusing to allow your customers to order/watch it because of pettiness. So, I guess DISH just likes to throw money away, and upset their customers. I've been a loyal customer for years, but like many now I will either switch my service or cut the cord altogether now. It's shame that it's the customers that lose out and are inconvenienced because of ridiculous squabbles like this.

DishNetwork

Justin, I am sorry to hear that we will be losing your business as a result of this. WWE is not willing to adjust their PPV costs to satellite and cable companies, which is unfair to their customers. We need to re-focus our efforts to support partners that better serve DISH customers. Other satellite and cable companies, including DIRECTV, have also expressed they may no longer provide WWE PPV events in the future. -Dan B

Me

WE are the customers. WE decide what is fair and unfair to us.

The price of a PPV event is OUR decision to either pay, or pass up. If WE don't like the price, then we don't pay it, and we don't watch. Either way, it is at OUR option.

It is not up to YOU to decide not to even offer us the opportunity, because YOU feel it's "unfair". You do not speak on our behalf. We can speak for ourselves, with our money.

And yes, the others have made threats. But they didn't cut access to the the last event that we HAVE to watch on PPV access. Had the decision been made on Monday, February 24, or later, it would not be as big an issue, because MOST OF US (not all) could just watch it on WWE Network. But by cutting it out NOW, you've effectively screwed all of us loyal Dish customers who want to watch #WWE_Elimination_Chamber, unless we can find an alternate, probably illegal means.

The decision is petty and ill-timed. And like Justin, I'm not certain that it is a business model that I am willing to support with my hard earned money. While I have not committed to the decision to leave Dish Network at this time, my confidence in the company is SEVERELY shaken by this insult.

I'm so pissed, I can hardly see straight... stressed

The ridiculous thing is that this just encourages people to buy the WWE Network instead of keeping them from doing it. I'm sure people would be more willing to put up with a $10/month bill rather than having a cable company deciding which events and shows they'll offer based on something petty like "they're starting their own network and that hurts our feelings." I get it...DISH is pissed cause they're not going to be able to charge such a ridiculous price (which they'll take most of) for the PPVs anymore...but I don't see how giving up one of those paydays (which really won't bother the WWE much) is supposed to be some sort of revenge.

It wouldn't be surprising that this is a marketing ploy from WWE via Dish to up their sales an dish gets a cut of the profit, like 5% or something. I'm sure its illegal an I'm just being my usual cray self with this thought.

I can assure you that it is not some internal deal. Just piss-poor decision making from Dish.

Dish would not quietly enter into any deal with WWE that would risk them losing business.

Hmm as a international fan the Network is pretty much the best thing that could have happened... all this TV politics stuff is well inevitable...

So shall we lets get back on topic? would love to hear your guys picks..

Cheerio

[black_wing_angel]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaand, settled!

I am once again able to watch the Chamber. And for the same price. Just...through my PS3, rather than Dish receiver.

Awesome, i'm going to probably disappear during the PPV as I'm working during its live broadcast and will watch later. stressed

Still I've got a bunch of random drop chances that I don't want maybe I should give some out as prizes along with a little bit of gold to anyone who can get most of the pick rights for the PPV.

My picks as well.

Though I think it's a set up for the Raw when Hogan comes back because he will somehow give Bryan a match during RAW. And it serves multiple purposes 1) Hogan gets pop because he did something for Bryan 2) It's been almost three years since they've turned the WWE championship on Raw 3) People will rush to subscribe to the network to see Bryan's celebration.

[black_wing_angel]

My predictions are as follows:

Orton (as much as I hate saying that)

Outlaws

Shield (ala Reigns)

Langsto....I mean "Big E".

Batista

Rhodust.

I had that same thought. Thing is, are they willing to put Daniel Bryan in the main event of WM? It would make so much sense (especially in a triple threat), but considering they weren't going to do that initially and it took the fans rebelling against the product, it's hard to think that they're willing to do that now. Chances are, he'll get screwed again tomorrow night and end up taking on HHH at Mania.
