I just flat out don't have that kind of time. It's damn near like a part time job at this point lol. If you don't have a job, or a family or any interests outside of wrestling this may sound fantastic I guess.

The problem is that the product is not interesting enough to warrant that much time. I don't care if people are subscribed to the network or not. But its clear that Vince wants every wrestling fan to give him $9.99 a month. And he wants to nix TV entirely. Vince wants to run his own Network, it's clear. He wants to be in charge of everything. He's setting everything up for the end of their current TV deal when they will announce RAW & Smackdown are going to the Network and if you want to watch wrestling you're paying Vince and Vince only. It could be brilliant...because I know that if RAW & Smackdown were on the Network I'd have no problems paying $10 a month just for them so I could cut my cable bill down. The PPVs are a moot point. It's technically still gonna be 4 weeks in between each brand's show. They better get their creative heads in gear and hire people who know how to make good wrestling. Or else nobody is gonna care Face it, the days of ratings & ppv buys are slowly fading away. It's all about content now. Vince may want it, but it's not going to happen. TV rights fees account for over 35% of WWE's yearly revenue. Their TV deal is absolutely crucial to the success of their business model, whether they want you to believe ratings matter or not.

We've been on the same page quite a bit the past few days lol Tell me about it. I wouldn't mind if every month we got ONE PPV for just ONE show like it used to be; but two a month, 19+ a year is going to be total overkill. One PPV per month with each brand taking turns headlining

The only way I could see it possibly working in regards to this is if each show was 2 hours like the Takeover specials. That way the month ppv time only goes from 3 hours to 4. Less filler stuff on each show. Make an hour long kickoff show that people don't need to watch if you want to keep more value for the live event crowd

It's a terrible idea. Way to much overkill.

Like most here, I don't particularly care for the idea of two major events each month. However, it could work IF they make danged sure that each brand offers something unique. RAW can be the more traditional sports entertainment style of WWE, while SmackDown could be far more wrestling focused (much like NXT or ROH with WWE production values). Giving them each a unique visual aesthetic would be a great idea as well. Basically, they need to make sure fans don't feel like they're watching the same show each time. Just having different faces on the screen isn't enough.
