3. Unique Venues
Another in a fine line of "crazy" things WCW did that WWE could be plundering for the network's success is actually holding the "special" WWE Network shows in unique venues, too. If you're in New York City, what about holding a WWE event at Rockefeller Center, or at Radio City Music Hall. In all actuality, it's probably cheaper to rent those spaces than host a show at MSG, too. WWE's Japanese house show was unique because most fans globally haven't had the opportunity to see a show in that environment. However, if not willing to host a unique tournament-style event, the idea of holding a show in a visually stimulating location certainly has some worth. On a beach, in a street, there needs to be some sort of left-leaning thinking regarding how to make their showcase events more appealing in all ways.
