10 Ways To Improve The WWE Network

2. Extended Run Times

WWE
The WWE Network is obviously a WWE-owned service. As such, the WWE is the boss of the Network, meaning that they can literally do exactly what they went, when they want. Why is it, then, that certain shows and programmes feel cut down or half-assed? For example, the Table for 3 content that the Network has put out lately has been fantastic, yet those shows only usually come in at around the 20 minute mark when they could be so, so much more. You€™re telling me that Daniel Bryan, Dolph Ziggler and The Ryback were only good for 20 minutes of conversation together, or that Kevin Owens, Cesaro and Dean Ambrose similarly dried up their chatter at just 20 minutes? Then there€™s Renee Young€™s Unfiltered show, which usually gets around 13 minutes yet is also largely awesome (well, apart from the Wiz Khalifa episode). The original content that the WWE is producing for the Network is one of the biggest draws for the service, yet it seems that the WWE is working under time constraints with these shows when it really doesn€™t need to. I get it - sharp, concise programming in easily-digestible short chunks is appealing to some audiences, but this is an optional service with the ability to return back to things if you run out of time or have things to do. After all, whilst there is a live element to the Network, the service is essentially an on-demand one, meaning that programmes can easily be given more time in order to give fans more of the good stuff.
