Confirmed Shows
WWE WrestleMania Rewind
WWE House of Fame
A Diva's Reality Show on a Bus
The Monday Night War
WWE SportsCenter Style Show​

This needs it's own sticky thread now as WWE are regularly pumping out new info about this Network and it will be much easier to keep track of it all in the one thread.​

The first show for the WWE Network will be WrestleMania Rewind. WWE had a vote to determine the name and Rewind was the clear winner. The concept of this show is pretty clear, WWE will use it to show clips from previous WrestleManias. Great idea for a show because there is plenty of quality footage.​

The next show announced was a Divas reality show where we get to see how the Divas interact on the road as they travel on a bus from city to city. WWE.com describes the program as “a reality show that welcomes you aboard the private Divas tour bus as it travels from venue to venue. Cameras will roll 24/7, capturing the unscripted bonds, battles, and behind-the-scenes drama that only our WWE Divas can deliver when their public and private lives merge on the open road.” Voting is happening to name the show and the options are; WWE Divas Hot Wheels, WWE Divas Road Trip, WWE Divas Heels on Wheels, WWE Divas Joy Ride and WWE Diva Detour.​

The latest show to be announced is a Legends reality series (it is basically a rip-off of Surreal Life). WWE.com describes the program as “a reality series featuring many of your favorite WWE Legends, all forced to live under one roof. See what happens when the most colorful and combustive personalities in WWE history shack up, break bread, and bruise egos.” Voting is happening now to determine the name and the options are; WWE House of Fame, WWE Old Timer Acres, WWE Retired and Rowdy Roommates, WWE Old School Yard and WWE Legends House. All pretty bad names if you ask me but I would go with WWE Legends House.​

WWE have also registered the trademark "WWE Supercharge"which is rumoured to be a Sportscenter style daily show. They have also reapplied for the Afterburn name to be used as a post-game show. There was talk as well of a reality show showing what Big Show's wife cooks for him.​

As more shows are announced and more names confirmed they will be added here by staff.​

What do you think of the options so far and what do you want to see on the WWE Network?​

 

[Chris Dresdon]

I don't disapprove of anything they've suggested so far but man do they need help when it comes to suggested names for these programs, some of them are downright appalling. I myself will be more interested in the programming such as Wrestlemania Rewind as opposed to the other planned content, although I will give all of it at least one chance.

 

[Troy]

I am the same, I am much more interested in the WrestleMania Rewind then the reality shows. I would be happy if it was mostly full of clip shows, rewind shows and Legends roundtables where stars from the past discuss hot topics in wrestling or discuss classic moments in wrestling. I am more interested in that plus watching old episodes and old PPVs than I am reality shows.

 

[Aionix]

Sounds good, but is this going to be a US only thing? Because if so that sucks.

 

[Prodigy]

If the diva reality show has Kelly Kelly fucking people then I'm gonna watch .

Sounds good, but is this going to be a US only thing? Because if so that sucks.

To begin with it will just be a US thing but I assume that if it gets popular then WWE will look at exporting it and selling it overseas.

If the diva reality show has Kelly Kelly fucking people then I'm gonna watch .

I am sure it would break records but I don't even think they would show them in bra and panties. This will be a tame show showing them working together, doing signings, probably shopping etc.

A survey issued today to WWE fans was devoted to whether they would be willing to change cable providers in order to gain access to the WWE Network that will launch next year.

Interesting to note that the survey noted that the eight secondary WWE PPVs would be featured on the Network, while the top four PPVs (Royal Rumble, Wrestlemania, Survivor Series, Summerslam) would not be, a stark difference from the original floated plans - but as we noted at the time here on the site, lots of ideas are being tossed out there as they build what the network will eventually morph into.

Interesting since this is opposite to what was first posted. I posted the original idea in another thread on WS and I remember a few mentioned that it would have made more sense to show the secondary PPVs on the network rather than the big four because the big four make so much money it would be crazy not to make everyone pay for them on PPV. I like the idea of including the secondary PPVs for free from those who buy the network as it will certainly make it worthwhile for them.

most the programing on the network will be a waste of time they shoud just sick with showing old episodes of wwf, wcw, ec ect. Don't mind the idea of them showing secondary ppv on here but I wonder if that will lose them money.

Will thy still show WWE programming like raw and smackdown on other channells or are they all moving onto this

 

[Andrew]

Can we get a WWE Jersey Shore crap going on?

That'd be a record breaking deal!

 

[Troy]

Will thy still show WWE programming like raw and smackdown on other channells or are they all moving onto this

RAW and Smackdown will still be on other channels. WWE gets tens of millions each year from the other networks for the rights to show RAW and Smackdown so they will keep them elsewhere.

WWE applied to register to trademark "WWE WrestleMania Rewind" and "WWE House of Fame", the latter being the name for their reality show involving WWE Legends living together in a house.

So two names have been confirmed for the new Netowork. Still no work on the name for the Divas show.

 

[Troy]

WWE also applied for "The Monday Night War" trademark.

New show time:

WWE revealed their latest Network plans with the following series announcement:


"In 2012, WWE Network’s new daily live studio show will connect you to the Superstars like never before. Tune in to score breaking news, exclusive match analyses, topics of the day, interviews, highlights, and commentaries, then go online and on-air to voice your opinion live with our show hosts and daily guest stars, including WWE Superstars like John Cena, Randy Orton, Kelly Kelly, Sheamus, Rey Mysterio, the Miz and more!"

WWE are asking fans to pick from the following names for the series, which would be their answer to ESPN Sportscenter:
*WWE Power Center
*WWE Action Center
*WWE Event Center
*WWE Live Event Center
*WWE InterAction Center

Now this is a brilliant idea and would definitely make me more interested in paying for the Network if I lived in the US. With the names why not go with WWE Wrestling Center? Out of those listed I like WWE Action Center the most but they are all pretty bad.

 

[The New F'n Show]

I like WWE Live Event Center. Sounds like something Lord Alfred Hayes or Mean Gene would have broadcast.

 

[Dale]

-- WWE is conducting yet another poll on the company Facebook page asking fans to name a new show for the WWE Network.

The names that are being considered for the new countdown show include:

* WWE Your Call
* WWE Countdown
* WWE Settle the Score
* WWE Hit List

WWE Countdown for obvious reasons, the rest are awful.

 

[SAIYANS]

I'd take the last one if Bret Hart hosts.
