I'd love to see Cooking with The Rock. I'd love to see Golf Tips with Barry "Hole in One" Darsow. |

Knowing WWE, the people with (very) basic cable won't be getting it, so I guess this means if WWE moves RAW and Smackdown there, I'm screwed.
As for the non-wrestling stuff, why don't we have Rock, Kane, and JR cooking in the kitchen, we can call it "Slobberknocker".

When I first heard about the channel I was actually pretty excited, a whole channel devoted to wrestling? Awesome. But the more I hear about it and actually give it some thought, I get less optimistic. Vince has many predicaments and decisions to make for programming. If they show Raw, Smackdown and Tough Enough on the channel, they'll lose USA Network/SyFy viewers AND TV revenue. The only current programming they'll have is NXT and Superstars, two shows barely anyone cares about. If the channel decides to show old WWF/E, ECW and WCW PPV's, it'll kill off WWE On Demand. If it doesn't show old PPV's in order to keep the On Demand alive, they'll lose viewers. I'm actually struggling to think of content they could show. The only things I can think of are: - Raw, Smackdown and Tough Enough replay's (Although I'm not sure if they could do this since they show on USA + SyFy)
- WWE NXT
- WWE Superstars
- Old WWE DVD's/VHS
- PPV Hype and Previews
So what is that? Barely 24 hours of content a week? |

So what is that? Barely 24 hours of content a week? They may end up morphing the On Demand service with this. I see them having episodes of different tv wrestling shows like Nitro, ECW Hardcore Tv, ECW on TNN, AWA, any weekly tv show that any company had I can see a schedule, and replays during the days. |

So what is that? Barely 24 hours of content a week? It would be a lot easier than you think, just from using their expansive tape library. For starters the overnight would be filled with informercials...just like all of these other niche cable channels. That leaves about 16 hours of footage per day. Factoring in old PPV's and old TV shows they could show in their entirety, and a potential WWE style studio show done in kayfabe...they could EASILY pull off an all wrestling channel. |

And here I was thinking it would be 24/7 classic wrestling programs. They already have that. It's called WWE Classics OnDemand. It runs about $8/month. I've had it for years, but I'm getting tired of the same old PPVs repeating. Plus it only updates once a month. If I see WrestleMania XV on there one more time, I will cancel my account. |

More shows under consideration by WWE... Doctor WHHHoTriple H starts as Doctor WHHHo, a time traveller looking to explore the universe with his companion Stephanie. Look for the Doctor to explore the past and uncover the truth behind such historical events as Triple H versus the Ultimate Warrior (he could have totally kicked out if he felt like) and the Curtain Call incident (it was totally an imposter). Chris Masters guest stars as the Master, a villain who grows smaller in size with each appearance, which Doctor WHHHo won't fail to point out! And watch out for a special Doctor Who crossover in which Doctor WHHHo tells Martha Jones that people like her don't travel in time. Everybody Hates ChrisA group of WWE fans awkwardly watch a Chris Benoit match and try to make sure to temper every compliment of Chris' in-ring skills with a denouncement over his extracurricular activities. The Emperor's New SchoolVince McMahon lends his voice to this animated show. Vusko closes down an excellent school in Ohio and looks to his own personalised school in Florida to produce those who will lead his empire in the future. But can Vusko expected to discover brand new superstars when goofball badguys Skinzma and sidekick Dusty are in charge? 30 RockThe Rock takes 30 minutes to tell the WWE Universe he loves us all and will never leave in this annually broadcast show. Who Do You Think You Are?In this genealogy documentary program, Vince and Stephanie McMahon berate each featured superstar for wasting their time when their research discovers they are NOT, in fact, John Cena, Randy Orton, Triple H or the Undertaker, leading to the titular question. Hart to HartBret Hart was a wrestling legend. David Hart Smith is a mediocre sports-entertainer. Living the jetset lifestyle, the glamorous duo spend their free time as amateur detectives and in every episode they found themselves involved in cases of smuggling, theft, international espionage, or most commonly, watching David wrestle (and lose) on Superstars. Sinny With A ChanceYoung country boy Sin Cara gets his shot at the big time when he's invited to Stanford but quickly finds himself over his head when his bumbling ways embarrass the regulars on Raw Random.

Hahaha^ You know what would be a cool show? A reality show where they follow the wrestler's on the road. They usually travel together, it would be super cheap to produce and I think it would be really interesting. Call it Road Stories or On the Road With... Colt Cabana did this already! www.wrestlingroaddiaries.com/It would be a very good idea for a reality show though, especially with the divas. |

When the NCAA Tournament eventually expands to 128 teams, we now know where some of the games will be seen.
JR: Hello, I'm Jim Ross. Welcome to the Second Round matchup between Duke and Oklahoma.
Cole: and I'm Michael Cole. Who wants to root for some smelly Sooners? My Cole Miners are going for Duke! am I right! (I'm assuming Cole's character would root for Duke).

Factoring in old PPV's and old TV shows they could show in their entirety, and a potential WWE style studio show done in kayfabe...they could EASILY pull off an all wrestling channel. Having eight hours of infomercials would still leave 112 hours worth of programming to fill in a week. Still a tough job to do even with their expansive tape library. Like I said before, showing old PPV's would render their On Demand service useless. And its not like they could show specific PPV's either that On Demand didn't (I gather that they mostly do old WWF/E and WCW PPV's). For example if they showed PPV's from the 80's, they only did 3/4 a year and they would go through that pretty quickly. They could show old AWA and GCW shows, but the problem with that is that only people in their 40's and 50's will remember those promotions. The main demographic for the WWE now is kids and teenagers, plus the fact that TV ratings are based all around the 18-49 demographic and it could get hilariously low ratings. Even showing regular WWF/E PPV's will be difficult. Instead of showing just a PPV, they'll have to put commercials in all the time. How fun is it going to be to watch say, Wrestlemania 17 when there's a commercial break every 10 minutes? Almost every match on the card would be interrupted at some point. Another problem is showing old ECW shows. Those would have to go on extremely late due to their raunchiness and violence. That could cut into the infomercial time. Plus I'm sure they'd be complaints about a PG company showing ECW R-rated PPV's on their channel. Hell they might even complain about some of the Attitude Era stuff. A WWE style studio show would probably be a bad idea. The 'episodes' would probably only last 5-10 minutes, and would put more strain on wrestlers who are already performing in the ring every night and on tour. It would mean more equipment to move around, more strain on the writers to come up with material, plus with the current talent and creative squads it would probably be terrible. I've come up with a schedule for a typical Tuesday, but its definately stretching: 11pm - 7am: Infomercials 7am - 11am: Old WWE PPV 11am - 3pm: Old WCW PPV 3pm - 5pm: Old WWE Raw/Smackdown 5pm - 7pm: Old WWE Raw/Smackdown 7pm - 9pm: WWE DVD 9pm - 10pm: WWE NXT 10pm - 11pm: WWE NXT Replay |

I would love to see a nightly legit newscast with anchormen Michael Cole and Byron Saxton, Eve Torres with weather, Scott Stanford with sports, and reporters Josh Mathews, Todd Grisham, and Matt Striker. I'm actually slightly serious about that.

CM Punk doing some series about not drinking and doing drugs. He could be like the new McGruff the Crime Dog. Both are from Chicago. He can even use a catchphrase like "Let's Make Crime Go to Sleep".
