WHY MORE OLDER MATERIAL ISN'T ON THE WWE NETWORK YET, WWN IN CHINA, OLD PROGRAMS AND MORE

You think Cesaro will be victim of a release? Lots of talk about him among fans on twitter, especially after his Orton/Cena comments and how he was booked At the ppv and television.

I don't put any stock into Twitter talk. If WWE wanted to release Cesaro, they would just release him. I don't think there's any heat because for all they know, he was speaking "in character." Vince McMahon has a fascination with people who try to buck the system, so for all we know, this might help Cesaro in the long run.

What's the point of EVOLVE running China?

The same point that any promoter runs anywhere - to make money. I believe it was a sold tour, which means EVOLVE received payment up front so before they even get on a plane, they are in the black.

What happened to the WWNLive.com Roku Channel?

Sal from WWNLive.com said they hope to be live on Roku, finally, within the next month. Hang in there, it is coming!

I've seen a few books lately where old programs are reprinted. How is this not a copyright offense?

A few potential reasons. While I can't speak for every book out there, I know authors like Mark James go to those who published the programs, like Jim Cornette and Jerry Jarrett and receive their blessing and permission to publish the books. There's also very likely no copyright on old programs from 20-40 years ago. I doubt the promoter at the time was thinking that far in advance.

On the WWE earnings call, George Barrios talked about the importance of the VOD library and how they added 1,000 hours. How about they add some stuff people really want to see? No additions of ECW or World Class or NWA or Mid-South since they launched. So, duh, people are going to get bored and leave!

I sense your frustration and I understand it because I personally would want to see a lot of that material as well, but in WWE's eyes, Raw is the flagship and Nitro was the show that upended Raw for well over a year, so it makes sense from their perspective why they are focusing on those brands. It also could be that they don't want to roll everything out at once, because then, what else do you have to offer? Plus, the older material needs to be edited of music, digitized, vetted through WWE legal, etc. and that takes time.
