5 Things WWE Network Needs To Do Better In 2020
2. Utilise Stars' Other Talents
The original content on the Network ranges from the excellent and insightful Broken Skull Sessions to some of the worst forced comedy that has ever been committed to film. While there's a level of experimentation to every fledgling content platform as creators try to figure what works and what doesn't, it's as interesting to look at some of the ideas that haven't been attempted by the Network as it is to see which awful things were.
WWE has some of the most impressive physical specimens in the world ("There's a lot of beef out here," as Vince once told a walking stack of abs) on contract, some of which are nutritionists while others are qualified exercise instructors. Many of these people seem sculpted by the gods themselves merely to please the specific aesthetic desired by a slobbering septuagenarian, and every advert on the Network tries to capitalise on this by selling the exercise gear these athletes use.
So, if they're presuming that aesthetic is desired by their subscribers, why are there no exercise routines on the Network? There has to be some crossover between those of us who pop open five packs of Pringles for each PPV, and those who want to be a bit fitter. Of more interest to those of us currently brushing crumbs off might be Superstar diets, and a regular cooking show where a star comes on to show off a tasty but healthy recipe could be a real hit.
