It's not exclusive to a paid service, it's on Pay Per View as well.

I'm sorry but please explain the logic behind that sentence. You just said that the WWE Network is a paid service but PAY Per View is not a paid service? Because that is just some twisted logic that jumped through major hoops to get to.

Either you pay the WWE Network or you pay the PPV provider. If you don't, you don't see it.

They're nothing more than recorded house shows.

That's a bloody oxymoron. Does nobody realize this or know the definition of a house show? By definition "A house show or live event is a professional wrestling event produced by a major promotion that is not televised, though they can be recorded." It I can watch a wrestling show at home, its not a house show. That argument does not hold any water that WWE Network specials are house shows. If its on the WWE network it is not a house show. It is the equivalent of a PPV.

That argument is just an excuse people use to justify piss-poor wrestling shows that don't contribute to storylines. Elimination Chamber special or Beast In The East both of which were not available on PPV we're good because they impacted current storylines in major ways.

This is just insane way of thinking that I just can't understand. I'm supposed to be the one with out of touch thinking? That is just astounding, to believe that when a company promotes a product on an exclusive platform that it shouldn't matter at all to the free main product.

That is like say when I buy a DLC pack or a gun for say Team Fortress 2 that product I paid for should have no affect on the main game. Which is asinine, of course it should.
