Im not paying $15 for 24/7 + PPV's. I'm not even interested in most of their PPV's to begin with, and can stream the few I want to see. No interest in their shitty movies or original reality shows.

If this was on a premium tier i'd be in. But as its own premium network? Doesnt seem worth it.

I should submit my resume for Scheduling Director.

A WWE Network should/would be the easiest channel in the world to schedule and market. The WWE has a ton of tapes, they have a ton of shows, they have a ton of easy, low-cost potential for original programming.

They must be hiring some real chowderhead motherfuckers to fuck up this potential network...par for the course for McMahon, though...anything but wresting, he fucks up...even a wrestling NETWORK got fucked up already.

All they need a network for is to regurgitate the light years worth of content they already own. How fucking hard is that?

As long as that shit isn't on repeat 24/7 like Pawn Stars on History Channel, I don't see the big deal putting some shit content in there considering how cheap it is to make...the talent is already under contract regardless.

I would not mind if they had fitness shows like maybe a half hour show of DDP Yoga or workout tips from Dolph Ziggler or stuff like that.

Wrestler Rehab with DDP @ the Accountability Crib = RATINGS!

[SuperKevin]

I'd watch every minute of DDP working with Scott Hall

[Ravin]

I could go for some side boob hour.

I think that's the thing most of us foresee and worry about.... Making heavy use of old wrestling programming as the secondary and filler programming makes a ton of sense - it draws old school fans and there is very little cost. Yet I don't expect it. VKM is kinda notorious for doing what he sees as the right direction rather than what makes obvious sense to anyone looking in. i have a feeling that if Vince was willing to go more in the wrestling direction, the network might already be a reality. Not as big as he would want, but there...

You know who the WWE should push Titus O'Neil that dude has natural charisma.

Yep.

The tag team was gold...(even if O'Neil is a little clunky in the ring) but especially now, the other dude has a knee injury and is expected to miss many months.

Hopefully this doesn't push Titus even further down the land of lost superstars.

[SuperKevin]

Darren Young has a knee injury? Hasn't he wrestled twice this week?

lol yep

Meltzer & PWI each said he was expected to miss a few months...only to show up on TV this week and work.

Unfortunately, WWE has filled their quota of black singles wrestlers with Face Kofi Kingston and Heel Mark Henry.

Pretty shitty in the ring, and older than you think he is so I doubt he gets much better. There is a working standard for a WWE main eventer and im not sure he would ever meet it. That's whats killing your boy Ryback, they dont think he can hang in the ring for long PPV style main events.
