I mean things like Swerved, Legends House, Countdown, etc. It's all a bunch of filler dreck, copied from other genres. It makes the people involved look very lame, and only hurts their overall perception. Dolph Ziggler looking like a dork on a fake prank show makes me slightly less interested in seeing him on Monday nights.
It's truly the line where it ceases to be pro wrestling and gets into WWE's delusions of being an "entertainment" company. I realize I don't have to watch it, and I don't. Just wondering if anyone feels the same way, if not and you do enjoy that stuff more power to ya.

Yeah, it's all filler made with pre-existing footage and assembly line interviews from some random ass selection of people.
They need to think outside the box. Where is Bad News Barrett doing a news show? Where is the WWE game show? Hell, broadcast the highlights of Kane in Hawaii. Do something different.

I hope that Camp WWE cartoon can buck the trend. That actually looks interesting.

Yeah, it's all pretty lame. The only "original" content I really watch on the Network is Total Divas and that's not even a Network exclusive.

I do wonder if WWE honestly thinks people will subscribe to the Network for stuff like The WWE List or Too Hot for TV.
I just can't imagine anyone sitting there saying "Oh man, Jerry Springer presenting some clips from 1998 that we've seen a million times? Take my money!"

They need to hire George Newman.

I actually like Too Hot For TV. It's not groundbreaking but it's fun. The Monday Night Wars series was enjoyable too, but there was the expected revisionism.

Yes. I want more stuff like the Legends of Wrestling roundtable kinda stuff.
Oh and stuff like the Monday Night Wars.
I like the discussion or documentary style shows.

I like Countdown, Slam City, and the little I have seen of MNW. Swerved looks like something I'd watch out of boredom but haven't yet. I'd love for more Legends of Wrestling/Roundtable. I think they do far better on the specials than they do full series because they just don't have the time for them. Most of their production efforts go to RAW, SD and PPV (NXT if they're taping as well) so they just don't have the time or effort to make another series.

I do like a lot of the interviews and documentaries and I think it needs more of that stuff. But yeah, all those shows and stuff are pretty bad.

All? No. The Stone Cold podcasts have been great, the Monday Night Wars were pretty good, if not biased, and I enjoy the countdowns as a fun diversion. Plus, isn't NXT technically a WWE Network original at the moment? Maybe original isn't the best word because it was originally on the air but unless I'm hugely mistaken, it's the only way to watch, no? Hulu carries it too.

Japan for sure, part of the reason for doing the title change there.

Rivalries was awesome. The fact that they haven't done more episodes is lame.

Anybody that badmouths Legends House probably kicks puppies into campfires in their spare time.

Swerved is just generic prank stuff but it's a little funny sometimes.
I've never seen Legends House but it looks stupid as hell, the whole thing just appears to be "old guys doing SILLY things!" Not nearly as interesting as kicking puppies into fires.

I f***ing LOVED Legend's House. If there's any justice on this planet, they'll do a second season.

I watched Swerved the other night for the first time, was alright for something to put on in the background for 20 mins. Whenever I watch Countdown, I always ignore the first few minutes of the show as it shows you who's on the list, drives me mad! I like Rivalries, but they are too few and far between.
