Vince wants his own TV channel

[dc412]

Heat ended a month or two ago because ironically enough I put it on my lsit and then realised and then deleted it. If Vince was to get this channel I think he may do something like buy a couple of overseas promotions and put them on the channel and with MMa's growing fanbase Vince may also get some little MMA fight nights on every week or so with different fighters. It may be unlikely but I think it could help the channel and WWE as a whole.

that would be the way to do it. add a little bit of some classic shows and that might actually be a hit.

If anything like the 24/7 thing they can not even worry bout it. I ordered it and there was only about enough good stuff to keep me entertained a day or two. After that It just kind of got lame.

At least its cheap though. I used to have it, but in Hamilton, you don't get to choose your cable company, you have to go with whoevers territory you live in. The Cable Company we are with now doesn't currently offer it, though it is on there list of things to add in the future.

As for its own channel, I've been saying this for years. The beauty of this plan for Vince is that he has a guarenteed station to air all his shows on from Raw, ECW & Smackdown. He gets to control all advertising revenue, and all the other time slots could be filled with shows simalar to what they offer on WWE.com (like the Dirt Sheet, Word Up etc) to the other type of Shows like what they have on the 24/7. (like History of ECW, etc)

If I was Vince and I had my own channel, some of the things I would do would be like, air Retro Raws weekly and Retro Nitro's weekly. I would set up the schedule so they air back to back and that its the same week (simalar to the Monday Night Wars on 24/7) But start at the begining, adding Nitro only when it started. And the best part is since Raw is always going on, and probably will never go away, it will always be exactly 16 years behind the current Raws.

I would do the same for Smackdown and maybe if and when ECW is on for 5 or more years do the same for it.

Specials like Clash of the Champions, Saturday Night's Main Event and so forth I would air a classic one in chronological order on a monthly basis.

Retro PPV's & Supercards as well.

The only down side to this over 24/7 is that it wouldn't be on Demand...so just as I am not normally home on Tuesday & Friday nights and miss Smackdown & ECW already (though ECW fortuantly doesn't air on Tuesday's in Canada), anything you aren't home for you'd miss too....so to combat that everything would repeat throughout the week once or twice at various times, including the current raw's, smackdowns and ecw's.

I would so watch this and Vince is smart if this happens his popularity would go up and the ammount of publicity that the "wwe" would get with its shows, ppvs, site stuff, movies and more like magazines it would pretty much be unstoppable unless TNA has all that or smething else.... Which I don't see that happening like Sharkboy staring in a TNA version of Jaws.

Surprised there hasn't been a WWE/Wrestling channel yet

 

[Moonlight Drive]

We still probably wouldn;t get it here

But what TG is almost my exact opinion. If the channel was used to showcase older wrestling, like Nitro's and Raws from the '90s plus SNME and whatnot, it would be great.

If WWE got it's own channel, every other wrestling company wouldn;t stand a chance of getting to number 1

 

[Airfixx]

Been saying for ages that it's a shame they couldn't give Foley a 'history of hardcore' show... A WWE channel would be ideal for such projects.

i wouldn't get the channel anyway i got directv for the nfl package cause i cant live without steeler games and since im not living in pittsburgh no more i need it. im not goin a whole season watchin ravens games

Dam pretty much everyone on the first page who posted after me repeated what i said lol.

I don't know why you guys think it won't happen. WWE Raw, SD, and WWEcw, along with Classic WWE (Or WWWF) Shows/WWF/wCw/NWA/AWA/WCCW/Old ECW/Old Heat/ Old Velocity/ Old Metal/Old Jakked/ Bring back Heat/ bring back Velocity/Old SMNE/ Old WWE SD and Raw/ Old WWE/ECW/ That can take up 24 hours if the schedule is right.

Plus were I'm at a few channels between 2-40 are able to be used.

 

[The Rated R CMStar]

I agree with everyone except with the bringing back Heat and Velocity. More work load isn't what the talent need

 

[J]

^^Yea MORE is the key word. For those not doing anything some work load will at least give them a little exposure.

 

[-TJ-]

Oh yeah let's not forget the Farm Territories.

 

[This Guy]

^^Thats true, giving FCW a little exposure would work as well. Like I said doing repeats of the programing for that week throughout the week as well would help fill the time as well as decrease the chances that people will miss out on something.

 

[Evil Austin]

yea maybe this channel could televise the development teritories the wwe has that for people outside of america to witness for the first time like FCW, ROH and others.

 

[This Guy]

ROH is not a developement territory for the WWE...however thats not to say the ROH & WWE couldn't come to some sort of deal to air ROH on there channel

 

[Evil Austin]

I think it would benifit both companies greatly if that were to happen not really a superstar exchange deal sort of thing but just like WWE lets ROH shows randomly on the "channe" it helps ROH get air time and more ratings and helps WWE because well hard to explain but it helps the WWE because ROH fans will start to watch it kinda ? ,
