What WWE does need to do is have more original content mixed in with the massive collection they hold at their disposal. They sort of do this, they just don't seem to do enough just yet. Shows like The Edge & Christian Show, Legends House, and others have been good but all seem to be in a "shoot some shows, and play the crap out of them, and then repeat" mode. Perhaps they should "stock pile" some shows and launch them all within a 12 hour a day, 7 days a week format. Easy for me to say I am sure, and I admit I don't know anything about how things are done. But, being a part of the IWC (I guess), I'll tell how I would regardless haha But, on a serious note, it does suck not having the On Demand (damn deal between WWE and Rogers) and makes the repeats even worse. Something needs to change for people like me, and actually to attract companies to want to purchase commercial time and all that.

Obviously, that isn't enough to fill the 12 hour run time, but you get the general idea. New shows, other things from the library, but the only reruns are during RAW and Smackdown! and shows like This Week In WWE or RAW Flashback can repeat. No more playing the crap out of things, then getting something new and playing the crap out that and repeating the process. Time for better structure to look more like a television channel.
Ric Flair's Podcast would join the ranks with Austin. His shows would focus on Legends and rotate with "Legends w/ JBL"Which could perhaps add to the Smackdown! hype that may or may not (but should be) coming. Podcasts are a new one a month, rerunning in that time slot the other weeks. Friday nights would become a "movie night". Why not air some of the WWE movies like "The Marine" or "The Condemned" series. Or buy/lease the rights to movies that featured WWE stars like "The Scorpion King" or one of the many films Rowdy Roddy Piper starred in (he was a pretty good actor). Take what they have and then simply formulate a schedule where they play one per week and then repeat the cycle. Annnnd, let's see some old editions of Smackdown! and Thunder. They were just as much as part of the war as RAW and Nitro were. Not the focal points, but they were part of the storylines, and had some great moments themselves too.
