Similar to classic footage, these suggestion aren't likely to boost subscribers or move the needle in terms of viewership popularity, but adding more archive content will add to the Network's reputation. There may be licensing issues with streaming some of these programs or movies, but it's unlikely that it would restrict all of these categories. Watching Vince "mark-out" for Gary Strydom and the WBF is a classic piece of footage that any WWE fan should be able to watch at their leisure. The XFL might not provide much in terms of replay value, but some of the games and appearances would make for a nice bit of nostalgia. WWE Studios films are typically terrible, but why not throw them on the Network? Again, assuming there are no legal barriers, the content all falls under WWE productions and likely has some fans out there, misguided as they may be. Finally, Radio WWF would be a great addition to the Nework. For those unaware, in 1993 and 1994, the WWF had a short-lived radio show that featured its own broadcast team that would provide commentary for live PPVs on "Radio WWF". The show also conudcted several exclusive interviews with WWF superstars. Having the option to listen to this alternative commentary during part, or all, of the PPV events that were called would be incredible. A collection of the interviews conducted for Radio WWF would be a nice addition to the Network as well. Assuming the company retained the recordings of these broadcasts, this would appeal more to longtime WWE followers and it would help strengthen the image that the WWE Network is truly a must-have for all fans, past or present. Vince likes to constantly remind everyone that his company is more than just professional wrestling. It's time the Network reflected this perception.
