WWE Researching Major Network Additions In New Survey
Everything from "WWE's version of Game Of Thrones" to a revived ECW.
WWE occasionally send out semi-regular fan surveys to current Network subscribers to help plot the service's future direction, with the latest one arriving yesterday.
Several customers and media outlets received a lengthy questionnaire focused primarily on the idea of adding new pricing tiers to the Network. This is something WWE have teased several times in the past, though never so extensively.
Paying a higher monthly price would grant access to exclusive new content. This particular survey mentions shows from other promotions like TNA, ROH, and PROGRESS (all of whom have been linked with the Network in the past), as well as NJPW, and "a 'new' weekly version of ECW." New tournaments are also mentioned, including a potential WWE vs. NXT competition.
Beyond in-ring content, the survey also mentions new reality shows and original scripted dramas, with WWE equivalents of Game Of Thrones, Cribs, and the Apprentice all named. Southpaw Regional Wrestling-style comedies are also brought up, along with an audio-only channel featuring play-by-play commentaries, music playlists, and podcasts.
The full survey can be found on PopCulture.com.
The additions sound exciting, but fans should temper their expectations, as WWE decided against implementing any changes following a similar survey last year.
