10 Reasons WWE Should Abandon Cable Broadcasting And Work With YouTube
7. YouTube And WWE Network Integration
Before you think that WWE Network would be this stand-alone channel NOT integrated with YouTube, that's where you're wrong. In fact, the integration between the two with clickable screens would be quite amazing. If watching the Raw pre-show on the Network, there'd be a link available via the Network page that would directly link to YouTube, and vice versa from YouTube to the Network. The ability to have content open in two different browser tabs instead of having to switch channels, etc. would be a next-level move. Michael Cole being able to say "click that link right here to access the Monday Night Wars documentary immediately after Raw" would be awesome. Also, the eventuality of WWE being able to say, partner with Pocket so that WWE fans could store links for programs that could be viewed later would be something to consider as well. WWE embracing the digital age in full has a ton of wild and progressive possibilities.
