As previously discussed, now more than ever fans have taken an interest in the "behind the scenes" aspect of WWE. Gorilla Warfare would give fans another inside look, this time literally behind the curtain.

Gorilla Warfare would be an originally-produced Network exclusive in which the entire show would take place in the gorilla position.

The "gorilla position", named after the late WWE Hall Of Famer Gorilla Monsoon, is the area just behind the curtain that separates the backstage area from the entrance aisle. Vince McMahon, Paul Levesque, and numerous other people of importance will sit inside the gorilla position, giving their cues, directing the show, feeding the commentary team, and more.

While that may not sound like groundbreaking TV, it's also where all the performers come before and after they're introduced to the arena, and the interactions are very entertaining.

In some WWE Network documentaries like WWE 24, the most interesting parts came from scenes from the gorilla position such as Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella prior to Bryan's retirement, The Undertaker collapsing after The Streak ended, and The Rock, Stone Cold, and Hulk Hogan preparing at WrestleMania XXX.

If WWE made a 30-minute show condensing some of the best moments from the previous month's worth of shows, Gorilla Warfare could be a solitary reason to subscribe to the WWE Network.
