Well now we know why Santino's comedy show is taking forever. I want every night at 6pm to be Santino's sitcom hour. PUH-LEASE.

WWE is hoping that the network will serve as a way to appeal to a broader audience than they currently attract. Vince told the shareholders: "Many times, they are the gatekeepers of the future on whether they encourage kids to watch our program. We haven't appealed in terms of our product to our older audience as our younger audience." At least Vince realizes that a large part of the older-fanbase has felt like they've been pushed to the wayside with their current programming direction. But yes, an hour long " The Abraham Washington Show" would be awesome if they really tried to make it like a five-night-a-week Talk Show. Put it in a large studio at WWE HQ, give it some comedy writers from the area and let it be another way for Superstars to get themselves and feuds over.

Aslong as it dont cost extra. I have no doubt in my mind that it would because such a small percentage of the population would want it. I just want a "Sportscenter"-styled WWE show. That would be sweet.

Well if all cable providers carry it this could be awesome news. I assume that it will replace 24/7. I'd like to see... WWE get their own version of Sports Center. Top five hits of the week or something like that. With highlights of all that weeks shows. NXT get a new home. Exclusive backstage footage from RAW & SD. Exclusive matches. FCW on air. Classic footage from WWE, wCw, NWA, AWA, & OVW. this exactly what I would love to see, and someone also mentioned an Abraham Washington Show, would be cool so long as they due it like the "Tuesday Night Titans" style!

They've been trying to do this for awhile and I never really thought much about it, but now that thier trying to get it on tv, and the fact that the programming has the opportunity to be awesome, I'm actually pretty excited.

God I hope this happens and it is on comcast. If it cost a ton of money then I probably won't get it which would suck if the shows end up being cool.

Within two years, this network will barely be showing wrestling. They're going to fill it with crappy reality shows, bad original comedies, and reruns from other networks they buy cheap. Atleast that's the idea I've heard from people in the know. Probably only show wrestling after midnight (unless they fill the airwaves with bad infomercials too).
Vince wants so desperately to be more then the "wrestling guy" and this network is realistically his last chance after the WBF, XFL, and failed movies to really break from that mold. I'm not getting too excited. 24/7 and the 24/7 online is probably going to be the closest thing to what I'd want from a WWE network.

I would assume it's kinda like the NFL network, with lots of recap shows, origional program, and classic matches. That too is my guess.
