10 WWE Network Original Programming Ideas

5. The Ross Report With Current WWE Stars

The Stone Cold Podcast is the show reserved for all the big names and if a guy like Dolph Ziggler ended up on there, fans likely wouldn€™t be as interested. The Chris Jericho podcast is the show reserved for pandering and doesn't really give you anything especially interesting. Jim Ross, the former voice of WWE, should have his own podcast on the Network. When you think back to the late 90s, JR conducted great sit-down interviews with Mick Foley, Triple H, Steve Austin and others. Today there isn€™t really that type of interview setting (Michael Cole's weekly YouTube interview doesn't count) so using the backdrop of a JR podcast is the perfect way to make it happen. Once a month, the company could fly Jim Ross into the host city of RAW and, before the show, have a thirty minute podcast on the Network with JR sitting down and interviewing a Roman Reigns, a Bray Wyatt or a Sheamus. Ross will lend a lot of legitimacy to the interview and we can learn more about the characters motives and desires heading into that night€™s TV and whatever the storyline is going forward. Not utilising Jim Ross to help the talent of today get over is a huge letdown and something that can be so easily rectified.
