Since SOME fans don't get TNN/MTV or UPN...

[Guest Downhome]

(I originaly posted this in another thread, but felt it could be better presented in a topic of it's own.)

 

 

Ok, here are MY thoughts on this...

 

...first off, we know that there are some fans out there, many more than you would think, that can only see ONE of the WWF's two main shows a week. The reason for this, is simply that some people do not get both TNN & UPN. I have many friends who are in this same situation. Now, in knowing this, when the split happens it is really going to put some people in a bind. If their favorite wrestlers get put in the "group" that is only on TNN then they are basicly screwed, and vice versa. But, what I think they should do is this...

 

...I think they should have the group headed by Vince McMahon to get RAW, and then a "new" show to be added on UPN. That way, there is a show every week both on TNN (cable), and on UPN (network). Then, I feel that they should have the group headed by Ric Flair to get Smackdown, and then possibly the Heat show, or the Excess show. In doing this, the Flair group, just like the Vince group, will have both a show on Network AND Cable.

 

I'm sure there are many people who would appriciate this, as I know if I was in the situation if I couldn't get certain channels, that I'd appriciate it...

 

...wouldn't you?

 

Doing what I have said, would only be adding ONE new show a week, and as it looks it is quite possible they may be doing that anyhow.

 

Then there could be one of their other shows, either Heat or Excess (depending on which show that is "leftover"), that could be focused on doing a re-cap of both "groups".

 

I'm just thinking off of the top of my head, and I'm sure there is more to it than this, but, I'm sure you get the idea of what I'm saying. What do ya'll think about this?

 

By the way, there is no reason to have a "diva-only" show. I know I wouldn't go out of the way to watch it, but hey, that's just me. If it means that it would cut down on the "crap" on the WRESTLING shows, then I'm all for it. But, I just feel that such a show would fail...

 

...but when I really think about it, perhaps not...

 

...because after all, the "Trish Nip Slip" post got a hell of a lot of views in a small ammount of time, so maybe the diva's mean more to more fans that I belive...

 

...but I don't watch wrestling for the diva's, I watch it for, well, Pro. Wrestling. Not that I don't enjoy seeing eye candy, but, I wouldn't watch an entire WWF programming about it. That is just taking it way too f*cking far...

 

...if I want to watch the ladies, I'll either watch the WWF shows that are currently on, or better yet, turn it to just about any other channel to watch women, lol.

 

Sincerely,

...Downhome...

I doubt they will dump Excess because it will be used to recap both promotions.  I agree with you.  Keep Raw and SmackDown! at 2 hours and add two more 1 hour shows.

Yes, I'm certain they wont dump Excess, that is why I propose to basicly keep that show as is, and use it as a re-cap show for both "WWF groups". I'd go with turning Heat into the other show for the "Flair group", and extending it to two hours...

 

...I'm sure MTV wouldn't have a problem with that at all.

I'm sure none of you North Americans care, but the best thing WWF programming could do for me is show Raw earlier than Friday night!!! (I live in England)

I am in South Carolina, USA but I still feel your pain! Over at the wrestling forum that I am the Head Admin of, we have MANY members over from that area, and they are always complaining about how they almost always get RAW ruined/spoiled for them. I'm sure it is frustrating as hell, as I know it would be for me.

 

While we are on this, why does it air so much later than it does here in the States? I mean, that is quite a while to wait, and it would be almost impossible for anyone on the net to NOT have anything spoiled for them it seems.

Heat should stay at one hour. MTV will be pleased when Heat becomes the #2 show for one of the WWF's. As ratings should get a little higher.

It is a bit bizarre that we gat Raw so late.

It would be possible to show it live as we get the ppv's live and it's not as if anything else is on at 2-4 in the morning!

The cost probably stops it being live, but Tuesday or even Wednesday night would be much more reasonable.

At least we get continuity and the shows shown in order by not getting Smackdown till Saturday.
