WWE Cyber Sunday

[John McHenry]

WWE is having these pre ppv matches up on youtube as of late really trying to drive people. Why not do a Cyber Sunday? Basically a ppv or a Raw that they could randomly pop in at any Sunday not already hosting a PPV. Sponsor the shit out of it like the commercial free raw but put it on you tube. You raise massive awarness of the you tube channel. You drive more people than ever to WWE.com so they can do the voting. PPV is free more people will watch so more people will vote. Doesn't really require too much build and just use the same sets as the last one.


Thought?

I'd use Cyber Saturday more of a Saturday Night Main Event kind of thing, it's a free give away where title shots will be on the line and such.

Should it be on Youtube? Yes. It will bring many people to do an event that's not exactly a Pay-Per-View and to do this would be a good move.

 

[Troy]

Wouldn't be a bad idea to book a short one hour special Cyber Sunday show as a Youtube exclusive to see how many people will tune in to the channel. Not sure how much money it will bring in though compared to booking it on television as a SNME style show like Andrew suggested.

 

[Lewb]

Could be a good idea, an online version of what Sunday Night Heat was. I think this could work well!

 

[Andrew]

WWE should at least trial it and if it's successful then they know what to do from there.

I'd honestly have a WWE Championship defended, that way the majority of people tune in.

I dunno about having it on Youtube because Youtube would stand to profit more off it that WWE would. Not just that, but there's no voting form on Youtube and it would be hard to keep up with all the user comments if that's how they would be counting votes for matches and such. You could still do the voting on WWE.com like you said, but then what's the point of Youtube? May as well air the show exclusively from WWE.com so you don't have to plug Youtube's sponsors too. WWE can, however, plug a WWE.com show all they want on Youtube. I just don't like the idea of it actually airing on Youtube.

I always liked Cyber Sunday though, shame it's not around anymore.

 

[Andrew]

Thing is WWE.COM videos are not available to all countries, I can't even watch NXT on there. I have to use Youtube or Cable TV.

If WWE.COM is to show Cyber Sunday or something similiar then they would need to allow to broadcast to every country possible or else they will have to use their YouTube account which is able to be seen by all countries then.

 

[John McHenry]

I don't see how youtube would be making more money than WWE their just airing the WWE's product. Similar to Raw and USA Network. WWE would charge for sponsors that occur during the program. Youtube doesn't have sponsors during ppv preshows so I'm not sure why they'd need to during a full length version. If they want to make their deal with YouTube really solid I think this would really help. You'd also not want people to vote on youtube because you'd still want to drive traffic to your own site wwe.com this would be a collabritive effort.

Youtube people may get interested in wwe. WWE fans may get interested in youtube.

 

[The New F'n Show]

I like this idea a lot. Sponsors would be interested and both the company and you tube would make enough money off of that to do this.

 

[Keith]

Not a bad idea, but I don't think watching stuff like this online is really the future the way others do, it has been proven with TV shows that people still like the comfort of sitting and watching it on their TV's where you get a much clearer picture.
