I remember there being talks of a Cruiserweight show, but like I've said before that would pigeonhole them as "The cruiserweights" and would limit a lot of guys.
I'd actually prefer a Divas show. Both NXT 3, Current NXT, and Total Divas have shown, these woman are actually interesting and decent wrestlers if you actually give them time in the ring and on the mic. Sure they'll still get their 5 minutes a week from Raw/Smackdown but at least they can work their way up to that and the Main shows can transition back to the Network show. It's neither a seperate Brand to be ignored, neither is it a developmental league where it's below a Raw Diva to show up to.
The Key is, Keep it at Full sail where the audience actually respects them but actually talk about them on RAW. You know, like those old Smackdown Rebounds?

Wouldn't it be crazy if they somehow got the rights to indies, ROH, and TNA on the network?
I think NXT is a good start, and I agree about your Divas show idea, as long as it's more how NXT handles divas and nothing like Raw.

Honestly, I think that's what WWE needs to do to do original wrestling content. Niche shows.
Have a Divas show, have a tag team wrestling centered show, and I wouldn't mind the cruiserweight idea. Have each show have storylines, promo time for the core cast, and basically treat them with respect. With the big shows, RAW and Smackdown, occasionally referencing or mentioning stuff that's going on in them. Like, say Layla and Nikki are feuding on the Divas shows, they're booked in a tag match on RAW and go at each other, Cole drops a mention of why that is.
Essentially what I'm suggesting is that WWE make good on the term "WWE Universe" by treating it like Marvel Studios have treated their movies, or DC and Marvel treat their comic universes. Expand and make the place feel legitimately big. Like, yeah, you can watch SuperCena and GoatMan deal with their struggles, but you can also check out this niche corner of the galaxy for some Divas of Prey, ect.

With the recent success of the Hornswaggle/Torito feud - lets have a show featuring mini wrestlers!

I'd definitely love a divas show. They got more divas than ever it seems so be nice to see them get a chance to do more.

I'd like a few NWA/WCW regular shows. Come on there are tons of stuff to drip out there like they are doing with the RAWs from the beginning.

They need a buddy buddy cop show. Take two guys they aren't doing much with (ex: Ryder and Miz) and have them fight crime.

WWE now actually has the means of production and distribution to build their own territory system from scratch. Not just one development plant, multiple legit shows with their own distinct styles, with different bookers and road agents asigned to them. Since they don't have to worry about ratings they can produce these shows for a hardcore audience (not hardcore in the sense of Attitude era tits and chairshots, hardcore in the sense of interested in more than just the general WWE product) and give them all a distinct feel. Like one is just Smackdown but with a higher rating for violent content, one has non-scripted promos and no backstage skits and is overall very serious, another one is just a whacky comedy show for the big stars to act out on in between their TV angles like they do on some house shows. Every once in a while they circle through eachother's rosters, not like a draft, just a straight up roster switch. All the guys from one show now have to work the style of the other. |

I don't understand why they are not releasing more of their library. They have thousands of hours. Release an hour or two a week . Keep it fresh. Having a lot of original shows in the beginning is costly. I get why the network is not filled with new shows. But how about using this time to release a few hours of stuff you already paid for like old NWA,AWA or some WCW content? How about a new WCCW show? We haven't had a new episode in two months! It makes me nervous that if we are not getting this stuff now then will we ever see it. |
