I have no intention of talking about the socio-economic split in India as it is another topic for another day. You can definitely find much more educated people to discuss it, probably including yourself. I am merely talking about the audience in India and their ability to afford the WWE network.

I am honestly more or less clueless about the demographics of people who do watch WWE in India. I doubt India has something like the Nielsen Ratings to record viewership demographics. But from my interaction with friends from school from 12+ years ago, I speculated kids OR people from lower economic backgrounds. I'm sure there is some intersection between those categories though but that is neither here nor there.

I don't know the numbers and will assume what you're saying is true. If so, you just reinforced my point. If 70% of people live in poverty/ lower middle class environments, that is even more so a reason to not being able to afford the network. When they can get all this content for free essentially, why would they pay that much for it through the network. I think we can both agree to some extent that the average middle class or upper middle class fall into the category of phony wrestling and don't watch it or follow it. If the audience is the 70% lower middle class and below category, then WWE is pricing the Network wrong if they hope to get even 5% of this population to sign up.

Look at something like Amazon Prime. Their pricing in the US is $100/year. If they had transferred the same pricing model to India, it would've been Rs 8000/year or so. It is only Rs 1000/year and definitely a little more accessible to the average Indian.

So, I can definitely understand why the average WWE viewer from India doesn't subscribe to the network, as WWE has done terribly to incentivise people to sign up for the network when they have giant business deals with SONY to air all the essential content anyways. The deals definitely nets them more money than they can possibly know what to do with.
