PWTorch.com is reporting that WWE is set to hire anywhere from 100 to 140 new employees in preparation for the launch of its new “WWE Network.” During his latest conference call, Vince McMahon said that WWE will begin talks with cable companies in January 2011 regarding picking up the new network. It’s also being reported that WWE spokesperson Robert Zimmerman has said that the company’s already hired 55 new employees and a majority of them have been from the Connecticut area.

I remember reading that they trademarked the term The Network about the same time Nexus attacked Raw, and people automatically assumed that would be the group's name. Some people even had graphics in their sigs with all eight members with THE NETWORK sprawled across it.
Heh. Heh. Heh.

I have a feeling the WWE Network could wind up being a huge money pit.

Wonder if they will just randomly call me one day and offer me a job?  |

Some people even had graphics in their sigs with all eight members with THE NETWORK sprawled across it. Heh. Heh. Heh. Their name was originally going to be The Network, so... they were right. But they have never been referred to as The Network and it was always just an idea so... no they weren't  |

If this was on Sky Sports I would demand custody of the TV Remote.

Hahah, you sound like you're the guy on the writing team who came up with the idea that was going to make you a star and then it got axed at the last minute in favour of the Nexus xD |

Also, on topic, I think this is going to be amazing, hopefully we get it on Virgin Media here in the UK.

If they air the crap they been airing on Raw....it will fail. They better jump in a time machine and start airing the good stuff.

I hope you don't have to pay extra for this. They're aiming for a basic/expanded basic spot. I'd say with them having close ties to Universal who is now owned(awaiting congressional approval) by Comcast, they have a decent shot. |

I guarantee that I could write a better product than WWE currently has.

I doubt UK channels would get it; Sky Sports' contract with WWE lasts another few years. And I'd think WWE would put everything on their channel, not wanting any of their programs on other channels.

You... you are aware of the EXTENSIVE (understatement) video library the WWE has at their disposal and would likely find it's way on the air on this channel dedicated entirely to them right? Or did you think they'd just be running the re airings of that weeks RAW, Smackdown, NXT and Superstars over and over and over and over again? |
