What would make the network can't miss for me
1. All weekly TV show's in WWE archive in order, uncut with ALL original music. Pay for the GD music rights!
2. If possible (not joking here) put up copies of Raw and Nitro from that contains original commercials. I'd get a giant nostalgia kick from that. I know they don't owe the rights to that but I'd enjoy watching it.
3. Shoot style interviews about the history of wrestling.

4. Shoot style commentary on old shows and ppv's. With backstage stories, thoughts about the matches from the guys and just general commentary track goofing around
5. A Show called "Things Other Promotions Did Better Than Us."

I know they don't owe the rights to that but I'd enjoy watching it. They sort of did this already. There was a few Monday Night Raws from late 1994 and early 1995 that had Slim Jim commercials with Diesel and Bam Bam Bigelo.

More original, behind the scenes content.
Would love to see confidential.
Those Legend Roundtables are cool, but they are all very old.
A pipe dream would be to see shoot interviews, but I doubt the WWE would ever do something like that.
The realty shows do nothing for me

All it boils down to for me is they're just to cheap to pay for it and the rest of us will suffer when it goes away. You've made this point in at least three separate threads. Honestly it is getting old. You said in one "American's would rather buy booze and drugs than the network" Well you know what, yeah I would rather go out on Fridays or go hang out with my best friend at the bar when we have some free time or money. I'd rather spend $9.99 a month for a six pack of Bells Oberon than I would spend $10.99 a month for the WWE network. It is WWE job to convince me to spend my leisure money on their product, not the other way around. Then why waste your precious time posting in a WWE Network Thread just to mock it's existence?

4. Shoot style commentary on old shows and ppv's. With backstage stories, thoughts about the matches from the guys and just general commentary track goofing around I would rewatch basically every single match in wrestling history if they did this. Whether it'd be someone who can be insightful, presumably like Sting, or someone who's hilarious, like whenever Styles and Foley comment on a match or Tommy Dreamer ('There's that Beulah girl. Wonder what happened to her?'), I would watch the shit out of this.

As I live in the UK I can't get the network, So if any of this exists please correct me. I'd love to see
1) Wrestlecrap type show* - talk about crap angles/gimmicks/matches, It doesn't have to be vindictive just humourous 2) Weekly roundtable (ala primetime) - A roundtable show where they talk about the weeks events (even mention house shows) 3) Classic moments* - An antithesis of the Wrestlecrap show where they talk about classic moments (Hogan heel turn, Foley's win) 4) What If? - Talk about how angles/Events would have gone had it been different (Dibiase winning Mania 4) 5) The year in review - Talk about certain years and some of it's standout moments 6) A day in the life - have it follow a superstar/Diva and hoe they go about their day, Don't make like total divas.
*maybe have it be a poll and let the fans vote

Yeah, they show all the old commercials that the wrestlers did. 93-94 had icopro commercials as well as the Macho Man slim jim ads

They need more content than just their video library, to have a truly network feel about it, they should produce talk shows or early morning/breakfast shows and documentaries like they did with Warrior's death and Punk recently, shoot style too if possible, or an ALL Divas wrestling show and network exclusive match ups etc from house shows, like they did with WWF @ MSG.

I'm not trolling anybody, I'm trying to have a discussion. I own the Network, as I said before, but I'm certainly not gonna fault people for not getting it. OK then. I'm a National Spokesman for WWE Network. As long as you're a paid subscriber say what you will. You're not the forum police, or decider of who posts where. Stop that. Further, enough with the attitude about who spends their money on the Network and who doesn't.

What disappoints me about the Network is the amount of things that aren't on there that I personally would like to see. Things like old Raw episodes, old Nitro episodes, WCW Saturday Night, WCW Worldwide, old SuperStars episodes, Prime Time Wrestling, more WCCW, old NWA/GCW shows, etc. The old PPV's are awesome, but once you get through most of the ones you want to see, you aren't left with much. I heard Jim Ross mention on his podcast that the WWE Network sorely needs original material and I just have to disagree with that. I loved Legends House because of how silly it was, but I want to see older programs like the ones I mentioned. I'll probably keep the subscription just due to how cheap it is, but I'm not thrilled with the content. Hopefully they'll roll out more things soon. I agree with this 100%. Original content will help but classic content will keep a lot of us wrestling geeks content. Plus, I would think it would be cheaper to add this material as they are cutting the budget this year.

Why should people buy something they don't want just so other people won't have to "suffer"? It's not even being cheap so much as it is thinking that the costs outweigh the potential benefit. If you don't care about the current product and you don't have a ton of interest in watching a bunch of old wrestling shows (or simply don't have the time), What incentive is there for you to buy the Network? WWE is marketing a niche product to a niche fanbase. Because this is a Wrestling website. I don't understand why people who think wrestling sucks so bad would post on here. WWE ≠ wrestling. Plus the voice of dissent is important in any conversation. Moreover I chose to not renew the network because the overall product isn't to my taste right now so paying an extra $10/month to watch stuff that I'm not that into (or could watch on Hulu+/Youtube/etc, minus the PPVs). If I was more into it, I'd most definitely keep on with the Network because $9.99 for that much content is a really good deal, unfortunately I'm just not interested that interested in the majority of the content they put on there.

I thought they'd automatically fill it up with a TON of content, from what I have heard, they're mainly catering to the current audience, even though they seemingly have the ability to reach back and get the older audience as well, but yet they haven't
So until they do that, I'm not interested.

1) The video player SUCKS. Absolutely sucks. Fix that. If I want to go to 1:30 of a video, don't put me at 1:38. 2) Drop of service during PPVs the last 3 months has been excruciating and damned annoying, if the Network is the new PPV format then you make it work for everyone. 3) Better search engine for wrestlers/shows. 4) Less editing and removal of things, that may seem petty but when many of us are capable of noticing changes in music which aren't on our DVDs of the same shows then it's an inferior product. 5) Better original shows, this is all personal taste but I don't give a toss about Total Divas, it's a wrestling network, make original wrestling programming more regularly instead of TV re-runs. I enjoyed Legends House but if they had a few lower budget versions of Tough Enough it'd be better.
Everything else I'd complain about is quality of product, which isn't so much an archive/network problem as it is a problem with the company so not a problem with the Network as such.
As it is, with the drops in service (I've gone through EVERY tech problem possible, it's not on my end, believe me) I'm not renewing as it's simply nonsense. I have the Network for PPV coverage, when the last 3 PPVs have dropped a few times there's piss all point in me paying for the damned thing.

Oh yeah, the video player is ass cheeks. So frustrating to rewind anything.
