Backstage Update – WWE Signing Talents Based Off Looks, More

— The word going around WWE right now is that the company has signed all of the independent wrestlers that they want for now. There is a chance that they pick up a few more over the next six months, as indy talents is not their primary focus right now, however they are open to a few specific talents.

It’s been said Uhaa Nation was the standout performer in the latest WWE tryout camp at the Performance Center.

As far as the new WWE signings: Sunny Dhinsa (amateur wrestler), Zahra Schreiber (model), Dustin Mueller (bodybuilder), Gionna Daddio (model) and Josh Woods (amateur wrestler) — it’s said that everyone except for Dhinsa were signed with an emphasis on their looks.

— During Thursday’s third-quarter earnings report, WWE announced a WWE Network subscriber count of 731,000. As a result of the low number, WWE immediately cancelled the six-month commitments, changed the month-to-month price to $9.99 and will be offering a free month-long trial in November.

In addition to the WWE Network numbers, the company released the pay-per-view buy figures for their July, August and September events.

WWE announced that pay-per-view revenue was $3.7 million for the quarter, down from $14.6 million from the three pay-per-view events in the third quarter in 2013, $16.3 million for the third quarter in 2012 and $15.8 million in the third quarter of 2011.

The WWE Money In The Bank pay-per-view in July drew 99,000 buys, down from the 199,000 buys in 2013 and 188,000 buys in 2012.

The WWE SummerSlam pay-per-view in August delivered 147,000 buys, down from the 298,000 buys in 2013 and 358,000 buys in 2012.

Finally, the WWE Night Of Champions pay-per-view in September did 48,000 buys, down from the 175,000 buys in 2013 and 189,000 buys in 2012.
