10 WWE Network Original Programming Ideas

4. WCW Saturday Night With Tony Schiavone

At 6:05pm every Saturday Night, the WWE Network should be airing some show revolving around WCW Saturday Night, which before Nitro was WCW€™s premier show and was a staple on TBS for longtime wrestling fans in the south. Tony Schiavone is the voice I associate with WCW and, even though he does work for the Atlanta Braves now, there€™s no reason that WWE couldn€™t cut him a deal to fly to Stamford once a month to film material for a Saturday Night show. Every week why not air a one hour special with a different theme or on a different wrestler, showing their best matches and moments on Saturday Night or an episode on best championship matches from the 80s, the rise of the nWo, best Cruiserweight matches etc. The options are limitless. This would also educate the newer audience as to how important that television show was for those fans at the time. It would make sense, to start concurrently adding years of the show to the Network vault section so fans could then go and watch more of Dusty Rhodes, Ric Flair, the nWo or whoever is featured on Schiavone€™s show that week.
