Supposedly the Divas really want to get on the show to get more exposure. It does sound like it will be a trainwreck because I don't know how they will make it interesting to watch.

The fact it will be a train wreck is what they want. Basketball Wifes and Bridezilla are train wrecks, but they are two of the most highly watched shows there are by females. Females like catty women, who make comments about one another behind the others back, then play nice, and then find out what has been said before a confrontations ensues. The show will do well especially since WWEs female demographic in teens and young adults is high.

The WWE Network logo was revealed on NXT this week;

WWE_newlogo.jpg


Slightly different to the current logo and I guess they want to differentiate between the Network and the rest of WWE.

Horrible. They need to do so much things with WWE, but they are wasting their and our time with some stupid logos for WWE Network. Brain off.

See, I understood this logo when they transitioned from the WWF 'Get The F Out' and they essentially erased the F from the logo but if you're making a new logo, why not actually add in the letter E so it's WWE and not WW?

Probably wouldn't look right if they tried to add the E to it. As far as that logo goes though could look a lot better and I expected it to look better.

I don't mean just to that logo, I mean as a whole. Maybe it just bothers me, but it's like having the TNA logo with one of those letters missing.

Yeah I was talking about the logo period as well. I get what you're saying as it makes sense in theory but probably when they tried to do it, it didn't look that good.

WWE is conducting a survey asking for feedback on 17 show concepts for the upcoming WWE Network.

* Stone Cold Steve Austin and his counterpart, a refined beer expert, visit a different local brewery, pub, or beer fest/competition each week in different U.S. cities. Follow the tour bus online by accessing the show’s interactive GPS map and Join Stone Cold as he meets the owners of different establishments around the country; learns how the beer gets made, learns what to eat with specific beers and on the whole, just has a great time. If you’d watch this show, give me a ‘hell yeah!’

* A show based on the real lives of the largest athlete in the world, the Big Show, and his wife Bess (who has a larger than life personality). What does it take to feed a Giant? What unusual things happen in every day life when you’re 7 feet tall and weigh 500 pounds? Travel on Big Show and Bess’ tour bus from town to town; meet their giant mastiffs that sleep in their already cramped bed, and hear the outrageous stories about the Big Show and his blunders as only his wife can tell them. Then connect with Show himself during his weekly check-in with fans at WWE.com, where viewers can also find un-lockable bonus clips, Bess’s blog, and the “Show cam”, a 24/7 webcam documenting the couple’s life at home.

* Join Mick Foley as he tours the greatest adventure parks in the United States in search of the ultimate roller coaster ride. Experience the food, the people, and the thrill of the action hosted by the greatest roller coaster enthusiast in the WWE, Mick Foley. Learn more about these amazing thrill rides via WWE.com’s interactive coaster map; an annotated guide to the best amusements in the country. Post your own comments, and debate with Mick about the best dips and dives in Theme Park-Dom.

* Hosted by Mick Foley, this program will feature the best OMG moments in Sports Entertainment History. Relive Foley’s death defying fall off Hell in the Cell, Jeff Hardy’s Swanton Bomb to the outside of the ring off a 12 foot ladder, or Shane McMahon’s drop off the side of the Titan Tron. What was going through their minds as they jumped or fell? What did it feel like when they landed? Would they do it all over again? Ask your questions online and have them answered in exclusive interviews by the WWE Superstars who lived the moment.

* Akin to Ice Road Truckers or Deadliest Catch, this series would follow the WWE Road Crews from show to show to illustrate the many facets of what it takes to put on a live television show week after week. This program will follow the lives of everyone backstage: the truckers, the caterers, the television engineers, the pyro crew, as well as the WWE Superstars. What does it take to put on the biggest traveling show in the world week in and week out? Watch to find out, and go online to read the daily posts and photos from these road warriors’ themselves; or thumb through WWE.com’s official guide to landing a job on the Road Crew, and submit your resume!

* A reality show that is the exact opposite of The Biggest Loser; based on WWE Superstars helping “skinny” or “scrawny” guys put on muscle mass while providing tips to build their confidence to get their dream girl. Follow along online, where the WWE Superstars provide exclusive live tips during programming, and where the contestants document their progress on a weekly basis.

* Die-hard, middle-aged fans live out their childhood dreams of becoming a WWE Superstar by training in the ring, learning how to talk on the microphone, and getting “slammed” by their childhood hero. Vote each week to rate how well contestants are performing inside the ring and help them develop their WWE persona through live online polling.

* Each show features a different WWE Superstar or Diva taking a WWE fan through their workout. Watch as the fan sweats through a routine while learning about different training techniques as well as general workout and nutritional tips for people who are looking to get in shape. Download the show’s free iPhone exercise app, and workout alongside the Superstars, from the comfort of home, as you burn calories and build muscle.

* Amazing Race meets Road Trip as the WWE Universe competes for the ultimate prize; front row tickets to WrestleMania. Teams of WWE fans will travel the country through various challenges and roadblocks to score their chance to witness the greatest live event spectacular in entertainment, WrestleMania. A GPS tracker lets viewers follow the teams, who must use social media to help unlock tasks, get clues, and earn rewards.

* The ultimate behind-the-scenes look into the lives of six Divas as they work, train, and party together across the country in the confines of a tour bus; think Bret Michaels’ Rock of Love Tour meets Road Rules; WWE Diva’s style. How do 6 Divas share one shower? What happens when a jilted lover gets intimate with another Diva on the bus? If you thought there were sparks in The Ring every night, wait until you see what happens on The Bus…(and make sure to watch each week for a special code that unlocks the bus’s live 24/7 webcam!)

* Think Hard Knocks meets 24/7 as we follow the lives of hopeful WWE Superstars and Divas as they work, train, and struggle their way to the main roster. What relationships develop as the personal and professional lives of these young men and women intersect? Who dominates as the “alpha male”? Be a part of their triumphant success or witness the crushing blow of their failure. Who will make it up the ladder? Connect with the trainers during the show to make your opinion known, go online to pull up the live “heat map,” which rates which talents are trending most with fans in social circles, and login to Facebook to access bonus “confessional” footage.

* What match would you like to see the most? What classic WWE moment would you like to relive? You decide! Hosted out of the WWE’s state of the art HD Studio, this is where the WWE Universe programs the show and selects the content through social media voting and polling.

* A series about the romantic relationships in the WWE; showcasing famous relationships of the past between Macho Man Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth, Stephanie McMahon and HHH, Edge & Lita, Mr. McMahon’s multiple conquests, and more!

* From George “The Animal Steel”, to the likes of Goldust, Mankind, and the Brood, this 10 part series focuses on the careers and back stories of the "oddest" WWE Superstars in WWE history. Who do you think was the WWE’s most unusual character? You can join the conversation through social media and upload your ideas for the most “different” WWE characters.

* From DX imitating the Nation, to Edge and Christian's escapades, to The Rock's classic interviews, this 10 part series highlights the WWE's most hilarious scenes, commentary, and bloopers. You will have the chance to rate these moments through social media and earn points for finding content we might have missed! This program is guaranteed to make you laugh out loud!

* Classic matches from the libraries of the NWA, AWA, WCW, WWE, Smoky Mountain Wrestling, Georgia Championship Wrestling and more, are given a modern day presentation. The bouts of Legends like Bruno Sammartino, Bobo Brazil and Bob Backlund are enhanced with onscreen factoids and interactive interviews that offer a never before seen experience in Sports Entertainment history.

* What happened the night Mr. McMahon’s limo exploded? What happened the night Stone Cold Steve Austin filled Mr. McMahon’s prize corvette with concrete? What incident led to the wedding of Stephanie McMahon and the Undertaker? Relive these classic moments on television and interact via a second screen experience allowing you to unlock exclusive scenes and interviews in a never before seen one hour show. Go back to the water cooler!
The fans getting to select the content of the show option is pretty nice.

Worst one being that Road Crew one. No one gives a shit about the road crew as far as wanting to watch a show based on what they do.

Funnily enough I actually like the sound of that. Would be extremely interested in seeing that whole process given how huge WWE's production is.

I am interested to see if hey use their footage of WCW and the original ECW. I think that their is a market their for them with those sorts of shows and wil be very interested to see where that goes. Also I aways thought the line under the bottom W in the logo was meant to someway make up the E. If you turn it sidesways. But then again I could be wrong. Looking forward to this and hope that they find a way to make it available in Australia, hopefully on foxtel or something, but yeah I dont know if they plan on taking this chanel globally.

This was my immediate reaction as well.

I like the sound of the Foley show where he hosts the best OMG moments in history. I like the sound of the Road Crew show because it would be interesting seeing what they do to set up the shows each week. The contest to win front row tickets to WM could be really good if done right. Classic matches and classic content are a must as well.

I was a bit disturbed when reading the Divas on a bus description. "How do 6 Divas share one shower? What happens when a jilted lover gets intimate with another Diva on the bus? If you thought there were sparks in The Ring every night, wait until you see what happens on The Bus…(and make sure to watch each week for a special code that unlocks the bus’s live 24/7 webcam!) " It sounds like WWE will be trying to exploit these divas as much as possible as what they write is highly suggestive and you can see what they are hinting at. I don't think that it is the right direction for WWE.

Hate the sound of those where some random is trained by a wrestler or gets to be slammed by a wrestler. Give us shows with the actual wrestlers not some no name people.

Didn't Foley tape a show last year when he was with TNA? I seem to remember reading that he was being followed around with camera crews to show what the life of Foley was like.

I like that Foley is being considered as a big player in this new Network. They need a few top names to work on that Network to draw in some viewers and I think that Foley and JR are two top names. I would be very impressed if they managed to get Stone Cold to participate on a show on the Network because he is a huge name and I thought he may be too busy with his acting career.

What other names would you like to see attached with this network in a hosting role?
