PPV bashing

Maybe it’s because I haven’t watched WWE TV in years, but I was surprised to see on the RR pre-show that Lawler is STILL insulting people for buying the show on PPV, calling them "idiots." Why do they keep doing this? I understand wanting to point people to buying the network, but wouldn’t trying to convince them that the Network is better be more productive than bullying your customers? I remember them doing this when the Network first started and that was close to two years ago. Who is telling them to keep say this? Vince? The WWE marketing team?

​Vince. That’s his mindset in a nutshell: It’s such a great deal that you MUST be an idiot if you don’t subscribe! Even if you’re in a place (like a sizeable percentage of the US) where broadband internet isn’t actually available in a high enough quality to support the service and PPV is literally your only option! Or like Canada for a long time, where we get all the TV but only had the Network (legally) available recently, and even then in a severely limited form if you actually subscribe through the cable companies. And then you have to pay $12 instead of the $9.99 heavily advertised on all the programming.

But yeah, Vince is gonna Vince.​
