Since a WM launch date is out of the question the next logical time would be around SummerSlam. WWE build that as the third biggest PPV of the year (behind WM and Royal Rumble) so that would be a good time to launch the Network. Plus SS is in Hollywood so maybe they can get a few stars to help them out in promoting the Network.

Update On WWE Network
In an update reports from F4Wonline.com, WWE is planning to launch the Network around November of this year. The next set of commercials for the Network is scheduled to air around WrestleMania 28.

WWE Reality Show Update
It's possible that WWE may shop the "Legends House" reality TV show to other networks if the launch of their own Network is significantly delayed. As of now, production is set to begin on the show in February.

Such a long time in comparison to April which they planned, and once again, can't wait for the Legends House.

Are WWE still on good terms with MTV? If so then surely they will be able to sell the Legends House show to them as it would fit the style of shows that they broadcast on MTV these days.

The problems I see with them running old PPV's and stuff is the content. If you look at the stuff back in the late 90's, there was a lot of blood, and a lot of violence. Even going back to the 80's there was a lot of blood. I'm not sure if WWE would edit these things out, or go with the Black and white to distort the color.

They will probably go black and white to cover the blood, they do that when showing blood in WWE on Australian television. Or they could show it later at night and therefore get around having to be PG the entire time.

I really can't wait to see this thing take off, yeah its taking a long time to get it ready but to me that means its going to be done right. Legends House is a great concept plus all the footage they will have to offer on the network would def be worth the $10 bucks or so that its going to cost per month.

I'll love to see him in that thing.

Speaking of that show. How do you think it's gonna work?

He's not involved with the Legends House and I don't think it's even filmed in Stamford, Connecticut. I believe most the participants in the show and the location have already been posted in the thread.

As for the legends house, I'm thinking it is going to great and very funny. Something similar to Jersey Shore but much more scripted of course, I hope not though.

Do you guys know what I want there? I want a wrestling ring. Yes, I not only want them to live there and do nothing. I want them to train a little bit, show people something more if you know what I mean. I want them to have a little competition.

I imagined it was Big Brother. Maybe the real world. Could be doing a Dx special I suppose.

- WWE Legends’ House is scheduled to aire on Syfy due to the delay of the WWE Network.

Not sure if this was posted, but I'd def. give this a shot.
