After not carrying Elimination Chamber and deciding against carrying WrestleMania, The Dish Network did an about face and announced WrestleMania will air on Ch. 455 and Ch. 456 in HD and SD. Regarding future WWE PPV events, they said they will evaluate that on an event-to-event basis.

not surprised they decided to air Mania

Based on the percentage WWE claims cable/satellite providers take, they would be stupid not to.

I know EVERYONE wants to best deal, but when will these companies stop being so GREEDY and give us what they promote, which is usually "an incredible deal at an amazing price!" And I'm not talking about WWE here, because as long as they don't jack the price way up (an eventual price hike is inevitable) the WWE Network is a great deal.

But what about all of that stuff about WWE not willing to adjust PPV costs to satellite and cable companies and somehow that was unfair to customers? Oh yeah, it was all bullshit.

The WWE Network is the first big threat to the downfall of cable.

In all honestly Dish will probably be the first casualty. They don't make any programming nor do they provide internet connectivity. In twenty years the big names in cable will be Apple, Google, and Comcast.

they realized they were throwing free money away

Of course they're gonna carry it. If the other 2 top Cable networks are carrying it, they'd look like fools not to do so. Good on them though.
