I don't know why they don't have live exclusive main events after raw on there.
Be like we have Brock Lesner vs the undertaker right after the raw, and You can only see it on the network.

Some of the ideas are sound I guess, but for the most part, it walks the fine line between wishful thinking (ROH) and downright stupid (hire Russo? Really?)

I think it's .01 ways too long.
It should be 9.99 ways to gain subscribers.

By cancelling several thousand memberships and then re-adding them. That's still technically gaining subscribers.

Honestly, aside from putting on a compelling TV product that makes people want to get current PPVs on the Network there's only a few big picture things they can do.
1. Take it international. This one is obvious and will happen in a few days.
2. Limit the amount of log ins for an ID. This one is surreal. Some people have up to 10 people on their ID and WWE has taken no steps to prevent this kind of abuse of the Network. Limit it to 2-3.

The Majority of these are dumb.
Especially hiring Russo.
No, I wouldn't watch it and all it would do is ruin one of the best booked wrestling shows today.
Stuff like RoH isn't going to happen because WWE is going to want some control over the product on their network.
Risque Diva specials... if you have the network you have the internet.
they are adding Raw and Nitro maybe they could do it faster but they are adding them in clips so people don't sit and watch all of them at once.
Byte this yeah whatever.
Steiner talk show... also eh... yeah he can be funny when he rants but if people aren't watching the network to see his rants now I don't see them buying it to see more.

1. Show me dark matches. The ones you do anyway before/after every Raw. If I'm paying to watch a wrestling network, odds are I want to see lots and lots of wrestling. I don't care if the dark match doesn't involve anyone big; it's a small thing that can add just a bit more value for my $9.99 a month that WWE isn't doing for some reason even though it's right there in front of them. They can even add up the BS statistics about how much those dark matches would cost me with the cost of a ticket to every show over the course of a year versus the $9.99.
2. WCW Saturday Night
3. A monthly option, which they're doing. By the same token, a yearly option for the die-hard fan currently satisfied with the Network.
4. WWE Films, and other films and TV shows starring wrestlers. It'll add Network content for a limited time while still staying somewhat true to the core fanbase.
5. As Fred Ottman suggested, in-character Legends House. Doink hitting roommates with pies. Adam Rose partying and keeping his angry roomies up all night. Wrestling-related elimination challenges. Go nuts with this and stop trying to be typical reality TV.
6. Less random livestreaming programming. Nitro on Mondays before Raw. Saturday night on Saturdays at 6:05. "Throwback Thursdays" ala AMC. "Shark Week" featuring the best of John Tenta in WCW. Try to make it an event that we want to see at certain times on certain days like you did with Legends House and Main Event. Enough of those and, in theory, we'll be watching the Network enough to justify the continued service.
7. Guest Booker. Go ahead, steal it. I like watching those and WWE has had enough creative minds over the years work for them that it could be interesting to see what they'd do with the current product.
8. Stand-up comedy. It's cheap to produce, and lots of wrestlers from Mick Foley to Joel Gertner have tried to transition into it.
9.99 WWE Warehouse on the Network.
10. More Network-exclusive codes. Last night they gave a promo code on Raw Pre-Show for so much off shirts on WWEShop. I didn't use it because they're already getting my money, but it's not the worst idea. Do enough of those and people will feel like they're saving money with the Network, even if they really aren't.

Original pillow fight content would be nice. Divas fighting in a bouncy castle content would be nice.  Or just original content in general. I'd like it if they put the RAW videos from the WWE app on the WWE network. I don't watch RAW live usually, and don't have the app myself. And in general, just having more content, more years of RAW and Smackdown, etc. |

Do something fun
Random give aways of used props from WWE
Give away a few shirts or WWE 2k
Promote and then do a scavenger hunt on WWE network where you have to find a random event/wrestler once per day for a week or so. Everyone that fills it out with screen shots is entered into winning a trip to a PPV. Hell do this for every PPV, this is a minimum expense for WWE
"Find Baston Booger eating" Give the show name, the time stamp and a picture of it.
Lots of ideas they could use.
More original programming. Do a new "confidential" or a new "cribs" like show.
Just some thoughts off the top of my head
