10 Ways To Improve & Innovate The WWE Network

10. Playlists & Bookmarks

The playlist feature is something that should have already been implemented by now. Sure, the WWE Network has a "watchlist" which is a glorified page of show bookmarks, but a true playlist feature would be similar to that of an iTunes playlist where videos are arranged in a particular order and the next show will automatically play without the user having to press anything. Along with assigning shows to various playlists, there should also be a way to bookmark a position on a show. Again, there is a current feature where, if the video is stopped, the viewer can "resume from previous position", but this is very limiting and needs to be expanded. The new feautre should allow for the show to hold multiple bookmarks that can be saved or created at any time while watching, without the need to stop. The playlist feature should also be able to begin playing a video from any specified bookmark position. If a viewer wants to watch WCW Uncensored 1995 followed immediately by an episode Swerved that starts at the 15 minute mark, that should be possible with the WWE Network. Right now, it isn't. In 2015, digital video content needs to be accessible wherever, whenever by whomever, and not just in the way WWE think the viewer should consume their product. The ability to create and manage multiple video playlists and in-episode bookmarks are a must.
