WWE Network

Can't see this happening for another year or maybe more honestly. Like that one article said, they need to hire someone who knows how to handle a whole network.

Honestly it would be a disaster if WWE delayed it again until next year. WWE talked about the network for so long and then they gave it the WM launch date but pushed it back once, if they push it back again then no-one will believe that they will actually launch.

Shawn Michaels announced via his Twitter account that he was heading to visit the WWE Legends house and jokingly admitted he was "a little scared", so he'll be a guest star on the series as well.

Will be a good guest appearance since he is a Legend and he is getting on in age just like the guys in there.

I read that Adam West also made an appearance. Just needed Lawler to be there when he showed up to revive their Memphis feud.

Who is the woman in the photo?

Piper looks tiny compared to everyone else including Mean Gene.

I thought they got Sunny for the show? I can't tell if it's her from that small pic, though.

I edited the post with a better quality photo.

The photo shows Jimmy Hart, Roddy Piper, Gene Okerlund, Howard Finkel, Hillbilly Jim, Pat Patterson, Tony Atlas and Hacksaw Jim Duggan. The photo also shows Adam West and singer Ashley Roberts of The Pussycat Dolls. It's speculated that Ashley may be hosting the show.

Another celebrity linked to the show is comedian Jeff Dye of MTV's Money from Strangers show. No word yet on how Dye fits in but he was at the house filming footage this week.

Thanks for that Hatred

I won't be complaining if Ashley Roberts hosts the show, very easy on the eye.

 

[Deuce]

I'd be fine if everyone there was on the show one way or another, I like them all. I agree with Troy as well, she is hot.

WWE Maintains That The New Network Will Come to Fruition
WWE's Chief Marketing Officer Michelle Danbury recently spoke to StamfordAdvocate.com, and had the following to say about the future of the WWE Network:

"There will be a WWE network in some shape or form. We are in late-stage negotiations with distributors."

A couple weeks ago, The New York Post published an article painting a very dire picture of the future of the WWE Network, claiming that it has not been successful in finding a network home, and that it lacks the know-how pull of a venture of this kind. In response to that article, Danbury maintained that the situation is far better than the one presented by the Post. You can read more by clicking in the above link.

Eh, good luck to WWE with this network and I hope there is one soon, if not, I hope they show the Legends House on USA.

If ther network gets pushed back I guess some shows will air somewhere else

For some reason, I just see this falling apart before they have a chance to get it picked up by a cable corporation. Programming looks nice though.

New WWE Network Shows Revealed
During a state of the business meeting this week in Miami, WWE revealed to Variety that the following shows will take place on the new WWE Network once is launches:

WWE Divas Tour Bus

WrestleMania Rewind

The Monday Night War: Raw vs Nitro

WWE Countdown

They sound okay.

 

[Troy]

Definitely seems that the Legends House show will run on a different network since it isn't listed here but it has already been taped.

Like the sound of all those shows except for the Divas one although I would still check it out if I could get the Network. Really want to watch the Monday Night Wars show.

Update on WWE Network Launch
In an update on the expected launch date of the new WWE Network, the latest report is claiming that WWE is now said to be looking to officially launch the network sometime between October and December. WWE will be holding a conference call for first quarter financial earnings in May, and the launch of the network is expected to be discussed.

Hopefully they can get it running sometime around that timeframe.
