WWE Network

I'm not sure also considering it's a network, not a DVD. The latest SCSA documentary bluray version had like no editing.

Blood scenes - Black and White though

Very happy that they are filming plenty of ECW shows to put on the network, WWE have all the footage from ECW and have plenty of ECW alumni that would be happy to record interviews for them so they should be able to create some awesome shows.

Since it is a Network I would have thought that they can be more relaxed with regards to editing out the "hardcore" footage. If there is any issue then they can simply show it at 10 or 11pm.

As I live in Australia, I'm just hoping I have some sort of access to watch the WWE network considering it is going to be amazing after seeing promos and news reports.

 

[Troy]

Unfortunately I don't think that we will get it anytime soon. They have been doing some WWE On Demand on the Mainevent channel where they replay a DVD for the entire day but I can't see Foxtel adding the WWE network as a new channel.

 

[Troy]

You can add Dusty Rhodes to the list of talents that has filmed spots for the new WWE Network.

Would be great if Dusty is talking about some of the older, now defunct, promotions that he worked for in the eighties. WWE own the libraries to so many former promotions and stuff like WCCW is of great quality and the inring product is very watchable even though it is a few decades old. I want WWE to bring out all the stops with this network and use their library to show these older promotions to new fans.

WWE Legend Possibly Confirming For WWE Network Reality Show

"Rowdy" Roddy Piper tweeted something that could either confirm that he will be participating in the WWE Network "Legends House" reality show or his simpy his opinions on it. The filming is planned to start next month in Tampa, Florida.

 

[Prodigy]

Legends House seems awesome but is it going to be Live thing or a taped thing? Imagine it ended up like Big Brother with live feeds to cover empty time slots lol. Just a shame The iron Shiekh will not be in it.

Also is there any news on the Network showing in any other countries?

 

[Andrew]

WWE Network hasn't been talked about in Australia, I believe it will start off in USA to see how it progresses before going to be on other countries.

I do know BigEvents have said they would add another channel on their stream to show WWE Network.

 

[Heisenberg]

Yeah, I said that in the thread before Andrew. lol..

Worries On WWE Network
While the plan is for WWE Network to launch on April 1st, same day as WrestleMania 28, many have their concerns over this according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. There is a fear that a lack of clearance and planning will harm the network causing it to flop. As of now, the first day of the networks programming is scheduled almost totally around WrestleMania. There is currently no other programming schedule in place.

Something more to report I guess.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

WWE has been planning this for years.

 

[Prodigy]

I'm sure everything will come together sooner or later. It's not easy to set anything up and it's better to be worried then to be confident at this stage because it means ALL problems are likely to be ironed out. Hopefully Tough Enough comes to the network for a second season.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

Relying on reality shows producing good TV could be a problem.

Relying on reality shows producing good TV could be a problem.

WWE will have a couple reality shows which seems like they are going to be good, I'm looking forward to the Legends House. The whole network won't exactly rely on reality shows and what's so bad about them? Most reality shows on TV produce good ratings and even better than RAW ratings. Look at Jersey Shore.

 

[Andrew]

Legends House should be a good one to watch, there's also that Diva show which I wouldn't mind checking out.

I wonder what other stuff will be on the WWE Network and I hope it turns out well, as Prodigy said. Tough Enough two on there could be a good thing but I never was interested in Tough Enough but it'd work.
