    The last in my lastest series of WWE Caricature Signs features former WWE Wrestler and now COO Triple H aka HHH aka Hunter Hearst Helmsley aka Paul Levesque.   Earlier this year, the WWE launched the WWE Network.  After first approaching several cable companies to create a premium network like Showtime and HBO, the WWE decided that the distribution wasn’t there and therefore created the network as an over the top streaming network.

    The big value to customers is that at a $9.99 price point (with a 6 month commitment) you would get all the PPV events that historically were only available on cable/satellite.  The company stated in early earnings calls that they anticipated needing 1 million subscribers to break even.  Considering on cable any single PPV event could cost $45, the heavy PPV buyers flocked to the network early.  For one cable/satellite PPV, you could watch four monthly PPV events.  Great deal right?  Well unfortunately the WWE seemed to stall at about 700,000 subscribers as recent reports.

    So how do you get the needle moving again?  Have one of your biggest talents use his on-air time to, with a wink, shamelessly promote the WWE Network at “only $9.99” at every chance he can.  If this doesn’t work, there is talk they may scrap the entire streaming network and try once again to sell it via cable.

    Apologies for the odd posting schedule as I have been working on several commissions including some new WWE Signs that I will be posting over the next few days.  Those of you who don’t care about wrestling or WWE should probably just skip visiting this week and return next week 🙂

    Today’s entry is a John Cena sign.  Cena is the former champion and under WWE rules would be next in line for a rematch with the current champ Brock Lesnar.  For years, John Cena’s shirts have proudly displayed his mantra of “Hustle, Loyalty, Respect.”  When WWE COO Triple H threatened to pull him from the match, Cena threatened lawsuit.  In return Triple H mocked him saying “But when John Cena said the words to me ‘lawsuit’ — hustle, loyalty, respect, lawsuit — it doesn’t even fit, right? So out of character for John Cena.”

    Personally my way of changing it to “Hustle, Lawsuit, Respect” works better.  What do you think?
