This is a great way to get House Business up again by showing Live houseshows once a week. You could also have House Show title changes happen again like in the heyday of the WWF. The fact that you could actually see a title change on a House Show would spike business for the House Show again and we wouldn't need to miss anything because of the app.

Meh, House Shows are repetitive and would mean the TV crew will have to work more days, that they would rather spend having time off.

You may not be old enough to remember but at one time House show were the bread and Butter of the WWF. Building back the house show would bring in more revenue and having a title change every now and then would bring business back to a area that has been lacking for years. It's not that expensive now a days to have a few camera's film a event. You don't need to have the Trons there as it is a Houseshow. It's just Pro Wrestling 101. Like it should be anyway and a easy way to make revenue that you missed for some time.

Not really a good idea. House shows are generally where guys work things out and try stuff before it's ready for TV. You would generally see the same match night after night until you see it week after week on TV. More than once I've seen a match at a house show and saw the same exact match almost move for move two weeks later on TV.

But this isn't the 80s and house shows have evolved

I'm not sure if it'd be worth it to be honest.
No one would go and subscribe to the network because of the house shows, and it's gonna cost money to transport the crew and pay for it all. Seems like a needless expense for something that not many people who subscribe to the network would bother with.

I'm not sure I would watch it. Honestly, I can't even make myself watch Smackdown and NXT. Plus, I think more than ever, they use house shows to test out things to test crowd reaction and see if they will work on tv and PPV, and use it to help wrestlers build chemistry with each other before a PPV or TV match. I also assume it would increase the cost of house shows and it's hard to imagine they would make that up with extra tickets sold.
Personally, I would rather they reduce the number of house shows greatly, and give the wrestlers more time off.

All I see is lack of vision here. One it will up the game of everyone to actually have to work different matches, Two, It's brings back a dying art form that could still produce money for the company, Three, Stop with this it's 2014 crap, Most of the stuff you see today has been seen for years, and years, and years so don't give me this it's 2014 stuff. If you watched wrestling for any real length of time and actually watch older stuff you would see what you see on TV has happen before. Everything comes full circle, storylines are always redone from past era's because the fan base changes so often especially in the WWE. The same thing that worked for years will work today as well.

You don't seem to be getting that they need to test stuff out at house shows to see what works and what doesn't. What you are suggesting is that the writers and wrestlers put together an entirely new show every night. They have enough trouble doing it every week. Plus if they didn't test stuff out at house shows, they would be forced to put stuff on TV and PPV that they don't know works. Back in the day, guys used to wrestle each other 100 times at house shows before they ever wrestled on TV. That way they had a nice crisp match on TV or PPV that was worthy of a worldwide audience. Should the MLB start televising batting practice?

Nah.
The whole purpose of house shows is to test/try things out before they air on live tv.
It's also a way for wrestlers to "get their matches down" in preparation for a big feud or match. Its almost like a practice session only in front of a live audience. No need to be aired.

This is a great idea, however for it to truly reach fruition, Jim Herd must be brought on board and placed in charge of house show business.

They are professionals they don't need to get there matches down. They have been doing this for Years. 10 minutes is all that is needed to call a match in the back, That's it. I know, trust me, been in the business for 15 years myself. Nothing new or things to work out needs to be done.
The idea that you think a house show is a test run is kinda a slap to the face to both Talent and those who buy tickets. It simply is not. They go out night after night and do the same thing they would do during a live show. There is no phoning it home, it's against what every wrestler believes in. it doesn't matter if they work in front of 50,000 people or 50 people they will do the best they can to entertain those who paid to see them. It is driven into their blood from the very beginning starting in the indies.
Also I'm saying to show 1 House Show a week, hell they could even do it once or twice a month not every house show. If a WWE really needs to work things out then they could do it on the shows that are not shown but like I said there is no reason for that.

I must be the only one who likes the idea. They don't have to do it often, but just enough to where we don't see the same rotation of matches. Like, I'd have LOVED to see The Rhodes vs Real Americans cage match for like a month ago, when they went to MSG.
Actually, a better idea seems to be just to tape the shows they do at Madison Square Garden. Some good stuff seems to go on there. Like, The Undertaker coming back to action there. I like the idea, just a couple of things to work out, and they have to make sure they're not recording the same carded shows.

No one is saying that they are phoning it in at house shows. But if a guy is starting a new gimmick or an idea they wanna try, they have the ability to go out and try it during a house show. If the crowd likes it they bring it to TV. If the crowd doesn't like it than only a few thousand people saw it rather than millions. For WWE to operate on the level they do, their TV product has to be top notch which means they have to get stuff tested and prepared. Calling a match 10 minutes before you go out may be acceptable for wrestling in front of 50 people, but it doesn't fly when millions of people around the world paid a lot of money to come see a good show that has the kinks worked out. Think of comedians too. They travel for years with the same material in small clubs working their set out. Then, when it's ready they bring it to a large audience.

I see what you are getting at. But I guess my personal feeling, is that we need less televised wrestling than we currently get already. Now if we got rid of Smackdown, and they added a weekly "Best of House shows" type thing, or televised 1 house show a week, I would be more interested in that.
