– One notable complaint from WWE Network subscribers is the lack of old footage being rolled out. According to F4WOnline.com, one major reason that WWE doesn’t add a ton of classic footage on a regular basis is because “almost nobody watches it.”
The most popular programs on the WWE Network are the specials and NXT. The most watched shows this past week were the WWE 24 episode on Roman Reigns and Chris Jericho’s chat with Stephanie McMahon. Jerry Springer Too Hot For TV and Tough Enough episodes from 2011 have also drawn strong viewer interest.
– The Authority are officially scheduled for tomorrow night’s episode of Raw.
The TV Guide preview reads: “With WWE Payback looming, The Authority, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon, return in attempt to stabilize RAW.”
Stephanie has been off television since the post-WrestleMania edition of Raw due to a trip she took overseas for the Eisenhower USA Fellowship, an international leadership exchange program for outstanding professionals.
The “almost nobody watches it” excuse is a lie. The old footage is the reason why I have the WWE Network. If they are going to do that then, I will probably cancel my subscription. I have watched EVERY Clash of Champions, Prime Time Wrestling, WCCW, TNT, Old PPV, Old Edited House Shows, and every other show produced before 1995 that are currently on the network. So to say that “almost nobody watches it” is nothing but a LIE and EXCUSE. Just look at their PPV section. The AWA had a bunch of big shows and where is that stuff at? They have big shows that were not PPVs. Starrcade 83, 84, 85, and 86 were not PPVs. The WWF Big Event was NOT a PPV, but these shows are listed in the PPV sections. There is no excuse for AWA SuperClash or any other big AWA show to not be on the network.
