Professional wrestling fascinates me. And when I say "fascinates," I mean I can't fathom how, in the year 2016, anyone is still watching these stupid steroid soap operas. But considering the inexplicable overlap of wrestling fans and people in my line of work, I've begrudgingly absorbed a baseline level of wrestling knowledge. That's why I'm reviewing the official WWE iPad app. I hoped it would be a fun excuse to spite the very concept of professional wrestling and everything it stands for. But, lo and behold, despite my astronomical levels of skepticism, the free WWE app actually offers an excellent service for fans with a wealth of features that are well worth the $10-per-month price. It's also the first Editors' Choice that made me die a little on the inside.
Why Would Anyone Watch This?
I tested the WWE app on an iPad Air 2 but it's also available for Android phones and tablets, Kindle Fire, the Apple TV, and a bevy of smart TVs from companies such as Samsung and LG. As I mentioned, the initial download is free, and anyone can enjoy a limited amount of content, such as video clips and photo galleries, without signing up for a subscription. But to get the most out of the app you need to purchase a WWE Network subscription for $10 per month. There's a one-month free trial, too, in case you're on the fence.
