Getting Noticed By Management
I don't know how many of you actually have WWE 24/7 On Demand, or how many actually follow it if you have it, but I am one subscriber who does and follows most of the programming quite often. Needless to say, I'm starting to not care for it too much. Here's why:
The programming of the shows tends to sway more towards three things: Older Pay Per Views, The Hall of Fame portion & then the Older Television Shows, That's where I have my problem; the wrestling shows. Don't get me wrong, I love reliving the Monday Night Wars, and I can even stomach the fact that they don't show them as often as one would like, meaning, they'll show a WWF Monday Night Raw and then not show the next week's episode for about 3-4 weeks later. It keeps it fresh while they also show the beginning of the Monday Night Wars, which features earlier editions of Raw & Nitro.
I also don't have a problem with the old NWA World Championship Wrestling programs, as they tend to show that a little more often, usually a new episode comes on every 2 weeks or so. That's where my joy stops and I feel it starts to suffer.
I like the Legends of Wrestling portion, although I wish they'd run more first run episodes vs. the reruns from 2007 and beyond. But what really gets me is the fact that whomever is in charge of the programming tends to cater more toward WWF/E shows and events vs. a whole array of programs from the 70s, 80s & early 90s. Sure, they show Mid-Atlantic Wrestling, but they just started, and IMO, they started about 3 years too early (meaning, they started showing programs from 1981 instead of 1984 when the promotion was on fire). They show World Class from time to time, but not consistent enough to where I start to follow it and look forward to it like I do the World Championship Wrestling programs.
What WWE 24/7 does feature, as far as their classic shows, is a lot of WWE programs such as TNT and Prime Time Wrestling. I was never a big fan of either show and wish they'd do a trade off. Here's what I wish they would trade off for. Start showing more WWF Saturday Night's Main Event. Start from the first one and move forward. Do it in about 3-4 week rotations. Also, start showing more territories. One show I pray they start airing is Georgia Championship Wrestling. It seemed like they were showing Championship Wrestling from Florida for a while, but that was in spurts & I wasn't exactly sure if they knew what they were doing because one episode would be from the 70s and then another would be from the 80s. They were just throwing things together to supply programming I believe. Also, if they have the rights to Memphis Wrestling and the Mid-South/UWF, start showing that as well. They were showing classic AWA, but that seemed just like Championship Wrestling from Florida where one time it'd be on, the next it wouldn't.
So let me ask you, if you were in charge of programming WWE 24/7, what would you like to see more of? It can be shows, interviews, PPVs, whatever. Just something new and refreshing instead of the same things all the time. What should be dropped or shown less of instead of something else? Thanks.
