Like any television network or streaming service, The WWE Network has to evolve and consistently come up with new and exciting content to keep fans happy and sponsors to keep investing. Since the company has been provided at least five hours of new content per week since the late '90s if not longer, creating new content has never been a problem for the WWE.
With the advent of the WWE Network, the WWE has been able to put out more and more content, and a slew of brand new TV shows centered around the WWE. Just like any major network, some cancelled shows are longed for by the friends. Meanwhile for others, it’s good riddance to bad rubbish.
10 More Of - Table For 3
One would assume that because of the Covid Pandemic, this series was put on the back burner for the time being. But the concept of three old friends and fellow grapplers sitting down together for a meal and just chatting about whatever came to mind was always fascinating to watch. With some of the best trios being between guys we’ll never see in the ring (AJ Styles, Shawn Michaels, and Kevin Nash), this show has consistently shown it has a lot of legs and should resume filming when it’s socially acceptable to do so.
9 Stay Dead - Camp WWE
While certain aspects of the WWE can be completely hilarious (characters like R-Truth and Riddle, the banter between announcers like Bobby and Gorilla or Graves and Saxton can spring to mind), when the company tried to create their own scripted adult cartoon, it was nowhere near as funny.
Camp WWE was a cartoon created by Seth Green back in 2016. Despite being a hero of geek culture thanks to Robot Chicken, Green’s whimsy wasn’t able to translate to a show about WWE Superstars as kids attending camp.
8 More Of - Ride Along
The old timers will tell anyone who will listen that they got their wrestling education from sitting in cars and listening to vets of their time speak about the business. WWE Ride Along was a small encapsulation of that wrestler education that the fans got to see. Seeing superstars hang out after the shows and head to the next town chatting about life and the business always felt like diehard fans were right in the car with them. Hopefully, once regular world travel resumes, Ride Along will too.
7 Stay Dead - Holy Foley
All of the WWE Universe loves Mick Foley, right? So naturally, it should have been a treat to watch the Micker hang out with his family, especially his daughter Noelle, a die hard wrestling fan and aspiring superstar. Most of the episodes of the series focused on the notion that she wanted to train interlaced with the ongoings of the family, like any reality show. The show wasn’t bad, but considering Noelle isn’t pursuing ring stardom anymore, the family adventures were barely enough to sustain a season, let alone several.
6 More Of - WWE Icons
Back in the day when you had to go to a store a purchase shiny circles with movies on them, the WWE put out tremendous stories of their most beloved superstars. The Icons series that has recently started is a thrilling throwback to those documentaries. So far The Mighty Yokozuna and The Glamazon Beth Phoenix have been profiled. Names like Lex Luger and The British Bulldog are upcoming episodes as well. As the company history continues to be told through shows like this, the Icons series needs to continue until each Icon has been profiled.
5 Stay Dead - Something Else To Wrestle
Wrestling mega fan, Conrad Thompson inadvertently helped resurrect Bruce Prichard’s career when the two teamed up for the podcast, Something To Wrestle With Bruce Prichard. The show was eventually brought to the WWE network in video format and was a big hit. But with the exception of a few episodes (AJ Styles), there wasn’t a lot of new information for die hard listeners, most of the shows were just a retread of prior podcasts with WWE footage.
4 More Of - Something To Wrestle
While it won’t happen because of the litany of podcasts Thompson has nowadays, plus his full time real world job, combined with Bruce’s busy schedule once again as Vince’s number two; but more Something To Wrestle would be fantastic for the WWE and Peacock for new weekly content that would sure to be a hit.
And there are still decades of worth of content that the two-time podcast champions haven’t conquered yet, that Bruce would have unique takes on, such as his friend and Hall Of Famer, Booker T.
3 Stay Dead - Bring It To The Table
The talking head / yelling at each other format might work wonders for sports shows on ESPN, But for WWE and the show Bring It To The Table, it just provided a platform for JBL and Corey Graves to rip into Peter Rosenberg while discussing whatever was going on in the world of WWE. The two wrestling commentators tried to keep Kayfabe and still talk about things in a real world sense as well, it just made no sense.
2 More Of - Untold
Not only should there be more Untold episodes, there should be longer episodes too! With episodes that have already focused on Dennis Rodman, AJ’ Styles' Debut, and Foley’s battle with Edge, it seems that no subject are off limits, and no participant is off limits either.
Even the end of WCW and The Big Bang was profiled using names that WWE fans might not know about like the investors from Fusient, who were set to purchase WCW before Turner networks pulled their airtime.
1 Stay Dead - WrestleMania Rewind
As one of the first WWE Network shows, WrestleMania Rewind was a very cool concept. The show explored some of the greatest matches from The Showcase Of The Immortals, from the superstars who wrestled the match, and then the series would show the match in its entirety. However with new shows cropping up like Untold, WrestleMania Rewind is a little too compartmentalized for the broader scope of WWE.
