10 Ways WWE Can Make Network-Aired House Shows More Special

WWE's desire to promote house shows as "special events" on WWE Network is a noble attempt at trying to create unique content to make the $9.99 purchase fee worthwhile. However, last night's first night of Brock Lesnar's "Go To Hell" tour from Madison Square Garden may have been the first event promoted as special Network content that underwhelmed. If WWE wants to continue pushing branded content from house shows, this less-than-exciting offering may reveal points for the company to consider regarding "special house shows for the future." How can WWE fix these events? There's certainly more than ten answers to this question. However, in the best ten answers, there's a mix of classic WWE presentation tropes, some newer wrinkles, an *actual* use for classic stars and a few other concepts that can be considered. In a digital broadcasting environment where the Netflix is $12 and Hulu can range up to $20, the WWE Network remaining a competitive "must purchase" at $10 requires doing more than dressing up Raw and putting a bow on top to be something special and worthy of the price. Again, here's ten ways that WWE can actually do a bit more to provide the bang for the buck necessary to make these "special house shows" valuable content on the WWE Network.
