As someone who spends some time taking in quite a bit of the on demand content on the WWE Network, I did some thinking about Vince McMahon's thoughts on the future of the Network.

For me, I don't think they need more video acquisitions ATM, or even more original content. Some of the wrestling round table stuff is fun, if you want to do that, fine. I'm sure the cost of making that is quite low and it is fun. What they REALLY need to do is make a better effort to get the ECW TV, Raw's, and Nitro's up there. Obviously no one is going to sit down and watch every Raw that ever happened from start to finish. That isn't the point of having them all up there. The point is that different people fondly remember different shows and times in wrestling. Right now, say I have a fond memory of Summerslam 1997. Great. I can go watch it. But as with all things wrestling...it just isn't the same without the build up. The point of getting it up there is that I can pick any major wrestling show in history...watch the build up to the show, and then watch the show. I hope someone has the sense to tell them that that should be their focus right now.

I have faith that they atleast kind of get it with the SNME and Clash of the Champions being added. They still need to do more. They need to eliminate the holes in the library before they decide to expand it, lest they fall into the trap of adding more content, with even more holes in it, that can't be enjoyed to its full extent.
