WWE Network Proves to Be What's Best for Business

In its fourth quarter earnings release, WWE reported 1.22 million paid network subscribers, a nearly 50% increase from the same period last year.

It also pointed out that the service has hit some pretty impressive goalposts -- it cited data from Parks Associates that says the WWE Network is the fifth largest direct-to-consumer subscription service in the U.S., following Netflix, Amazon Video, Hulu, and MLB.TV.
