Today's News

WWE Network:


WWE have released a survey of fans, listing a number of idea's for new reality shows to air on their channel, the idea's under consideration are...

* WWE Rescue...

- WWE stars come to the home of WWE fans, and help them deal with personal and business problems. The show is compared to Nanny 911.

* NXT - Behind the Scenes...

- Following the lives of NXT's stars, their struggle to make it to the main roster, their day to day lives, and relationships. They will also follow stars lives after being cut (Released), to see how they deal with the heartbreak of losing their dream job, and how they readjust to life post WWE.

* WWE Ultimate Challenge...

- Based on the Amazing Race, a WWE star will team with a fan to travel the US, taking part in a series of challenges, as part of a 12 hour scavenger hunt.

* Xtreme WWE Collector...

- Superfans show off their WWE collections.

* Pros vs. Joes...

- WWE stars vs fans in a competition, of physical and non physical challenges. The show is said to be based on Gladiators.

* WWE Around the World...

- Following WWE stars as they travel the world, and experience the culture, take part in challenges, such as swimming with sharks, and meeting the fans of the country, to find out what WWE means to them.

* WWE Dirty Jobs

- WWE stars join fans as they go about their day to day jobs, such as cleaning the sewers.

* WWE Prankdown...

- WWE stars prank fans, one example was taped as a test of the idea, they had John Cena and Randy Orton both go to a car dealership, and both ask to buy the same car. They tried to outbid each other, but eventually started having a match in the middle of the showroom.

* Blackman's Bounties...

- Based on Dog and Beth, this show will follow WWE Alum Steve Blackman's bounty hunter business. Here is a 2012 tease for Blackman's show, which was not picked up at the time... WARNING... very strong language...


All of these idea's are based on other shows, so they basically want to know which show you want them to plagiarize.
