After the inevitable failure of WWE Network, that'll be next on the agenda. Followed by a WWE themed Hotel...
(I'd actually go to a WWE themed Hotel.)

To be honest, in they heydey, you probably could've got some mileage out of "The Smackdown Hotel" being a converted hotel just for PPV weekends or something.

WWE have announced that SummerSlam will once again feature a musical interlude, this year courtesy of Kevin Rudolf. Don't Give Up is the official theme song.

YES! I hope his set lasts three hours.
I know WWE's share value has fallen drastically lately, but giving fans more music and less wrestling is absolutely going to work out brilliantly.
Of course, I am pretty sure the WWE knows by now that fans prefer drama and short skits over wrestling. Who would tune in to watch wrestling?

When John Cena is doing a 2.9 at 10pm, you might have a problem.
I'm expecting the rating to go back up next week though as people tune in for the SummerSlam fall-out. Where this really becomes a problem is when the next season of football starts and the new season of programming on other channels gets under way. If WWE can be this affected during pre-season football, what's it going to be like when the real thing starts? Even the Olympics didn't hurt them as bad.
One thing I'm noticing is, rather than seeing wrestlers once or twice during the course of a normal 2 hour show, because it's now 3 we're seeing the same wrestlers three or even four times. In regards to this week, we saw CM Punk and Big Show wrestle twice.

When they need Big Show to wrestle twice on one show, surely they should realise they are in serious trouble.
The thing is, the roster is big enough but they keep it so thin for TV that it's ridiculous. Guys like Slater, JTG, Tyson Kidd, Truth, Kofy etc should be filling out the IC division. The problem is you need months to establish them and will take a ratings hit to start with but WWE aren't prepared to put the time in to build things.

They are in the process of moving where their archives are stored and at present nothing seems to work. The iTunes file is fine though.

Yeah everything seems borked. I couldn't even use their Summerslam image so I grabbed one off the internets.

I'm watching a lot more TNA now i have no sky. I must admit i'd never really thought about the fact they give away their PPV's and that these contain better wrestling and less BS than WWE's stuff. Yet sky expect you to pay extra for those WWE shows on top of their horribly inflated fees. How do they get away with it? Has to be most people still do it through habit now. Surely as IP TV and so many other easy ways to get it take off it'll be difficult for them to justify their high priced approach (buy everything to watch the bit you wany).
