Lord knows exactly when the first episode will launch on the Network, but Sports Illustrated maintain that it'll happen at some point in April. That means, assuming the show is weekly, Prichard and pal will be on the subscription service until July, which is good news for fans.

WWE Network needs more of an independent flavour to help grow the audience. Though in-house productions like pay-per-views, reality shows and interviews are great, they all exist with a WWE sheen that makes independent thought difficult; look at 'Legends With JBL' for proof of that point.

If Conrad and Bruce have been able to show anything with their 'Something To Wrestle With' podcast, it's that wrestling fans are hungry for content that doesn't come with an agenda.

Starting in mid-to-late April is smart too, because the pair may just catch casual fans who only signed up for the one month free trial so they could watch WrestleMania 34. In a perfect world, the likeable banter they have and their exhaustive discussions about classic WWE will keep some of those casuals around for a while longer.
