20 New Network Shows WWE Is Considering

WWE should be commended for their efforts to continuously expand and improve upon their Network. During its brief existence, the service has already gone through a vast amount of change, with the quantity of archive footage multiplying, the creation of playlist "collections" for specific performers and angles, the addition of Network-exclusive cards, and an increased focus on original content.

The company reached out to members of their audience via a market research survey to gauge interest in potential new programming concepts. This isn't the first time they've utilized this tactic, and not all of the shows will come to fruition obviously (we're still waiting on that Steve Blackman: Bounty Hunter series!).

WIth the brand split looming and the news that the amount of pay-per-view and Network cards will increase substantially, the list of content is geared more towards the out-of-the-ring side of WWE, which is probably a smart move since they're already teetering on the verge of over-saturation.

Let's take a look at the show concepts listed and see what the WWE Network could have in store for viewers in the near future.

Live, interactive Q&A with WWE talent.

For anyone familiar with the wildly popular website reddit, this concept will be very familiar. One of the biggest drawing cards for the site, nicknamed "the front page of the internet" is their AMA series. Celebrities, Athletes, politicians, business moguls, and ordinary people in extraordinary situations field a no-holds-barred barrage of questions from users of the site.

Production and cost for this show would be virtually nothing, and it would add an element of live interaction from viewers that the Network has thus far been sorely lacking. Having fans tune in at a specified time and actually be able to interact with WWE superstars would be a welcome addition to the channel.

Part of the appeal of an AMA is that they can sometimes end up as glorious trainwrecks, but when you have a participant who's willing to be candid and honest, the series can turn out quite fun. Obviously WWE would be screening questions beforehand, but if the format is something similar to the Stone Cold Podcast with viewer submitted content it could still be a blast.
