Hey Scott,
Have you heard how Jesse Ventura's commentary will work on the Network? If I recall correctly, the issues have been over "home release" of archived shows. Does this count?
Also, as amazing as the cost is for the Network, I'd actually pay $5-$10/month more for the talent to earn royalties. Not so much for the current guys, but the stars of the past, and the ECW crew.
Take care man.
I presume there would not be royalties paid because this sort of thing isn't covered by standard PPV and home video agreements. Which is definitely a concern for guys who depend on Wrestlemania for their yearly bonus and such. They're already losing out on house show payoffs with the new corporate structure, so I guess this is the next logical step.
