10 Reasons WWE Should Abandon Cable Broadcasting And Work With YouTube
5. In Many Ways, Tyler Breeze Is The Future
Tyler Breeze's Raw segments have been streaming on Facebook's Periscope-like app. As well, he's a unique superstar in the sense that he's fully integrated on pretty much EVERY form of social media that there is, and it's a huge part of his gimmick, too. In evolving Raw and Smackdown from traditional broadcasts to clickable TV shows, there's a potential for EVERY WWE star to be Tyler Breeze. Xavier Woods walks out on Raw? There's a link to his Youtube show in his chryon. Breeze's phone is streaming live? Oh, click that link in the corner and see what's happening. Wanna see more of Renee Woods' interview with Dean Ambrose from earlier? It's a click away. The future is here and now and should be treated as such.
