Vince McMahon has acquired a gigantic collection of pro-wrestling tapes, over the past few decades. After teasing it for a while, WWE finally launched the WWE Network, a monthly service that allows a fan to watch unlimited content for a very small fee that they need to pay every month.

Fans can now watch the latest live PPVs, weekly shows, original reality shows, and a vast collection of classic wrestling PPVs that include WCW and ECW footage. There are thousands upon thousands of hours of classic videos that one can enjoy at any given time at the comfort of their home. WWE has essentially created a Netflix for pro-wrestling fans.

Over the course of the past several years, Vince McMahon took a series of decisions that have led to WWE turning into a global phenomenon. He brought in the likes of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Mike Tyson to garner mainstream attention, and allowed Donald Trump to shave him bald, resulting in WrestleMania 23 bagging record buys. He embraced PG to bring in families, kids, and tons of cash along with them, leading to John Cena becoming a Superhero figure for children all across the world.

WWE currently boasts over 1 billion followers on social media, and Triple H is planning to expand NXT to various nations. Stephanie McMahon has a vision of seeing WWE become as big as Disney. With the collective minds of Vince, Triple H, and Stephanie, and the progress they have made over the years, this goal suddenly seems achievable a few decades down the line.
