4. WWF Confidential
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vzf7RsAKZMs Kayfabe is dead, or at least as good as. Even programming on the WWE Network tends to acknowledge this in some way or another. As a result, why not bring back the show which helps take fans behind the scenes of the goings on in WWE? WWE Confidential had a fairly short run- May 25th, 2002 to April 24th, 2004- but is well known for some of the deep-digging stories it did into such subjects as the Montreal Screwjob (with Shawn Michaels' first admission of being in on it), "Stone Cold" Steve Austin's abrupt departure from the company in 2002, a report on the death of Miss Elizabeth, and even a story on how the Superstars of the day felt when people would say "wrestling is fake"- the first time a WWE program explicitly said that what they do was a work. Other segments, such as the history of the Monday Night War or the World Heavyweight Championship, have been approached in greater detail since the show left the air. Still other segments would highlight life on the road for several of the WWE talent, including overseas tours. All in all, it was a fun potpourri of wrestling news, facts, and trivia that seems in line with other WWE Network programming.
