Since Pay-Per-View seems to be on its last legs, WWE is now going forward with a complete vision on getting as many subscribers to the WWE Network as possible.

WWE needs about 1.3-1.4 million monthly subscribers worldwide to break even. Since there has been a numerous amount of budget cuts, including traveling and potentially catering, that number could drop some.

In order for WWE to make it back to a successful point, they would need about just under 2 million subscribers monthly. If this number can be reached, WWE will be in the best financial position they have ever been in.

For the future, WWE would like to have 850,000 subscribers by the end of this month. Given the push for the Network on every single show and loading up Pay-Per-Views recently, anything less would be somewhat of a failure in their eyes.

During WrestleMania XXX, the network reached 667,287 subscribers and they were banking on hitting at least 1 million by the year’s end.

Josh controls most of the creative writing and ideas for the show on a weekly basis, as well as an on-air talent.

Aside from working with WrestleZone, Isenberg began his career in Broadcast Journalism interning at ESPN and worked with CBS Radio for three years. He has also had the opportunity to interview some of the best athletes and performers alive, including Andrew McCutchen, Ben Roethlisberger, Chris Jericho, Billy Gunn, Karl Anderson, Matt Hardy, Steven Strasburg and others.

Currently, Josh Isenberg works for Major League Baseball in their Advanced Media Productions. He grew up in Pittsburgh and went to Point Park University, which is where Chair Shot Reality is filmed each week.

His life outside of his obsession with wrestling include being a savant for Seinfeld, NFL, NBA, MLB and many television shows. He also has an undying love for musicals, which includes many shows he was a part of in high school. Some of his favorite wrestling moments can be linked to such superstars as Edge, The Rock, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels and The Great Khali.
