-MIZ TV- Make Miz TV a talk show for wrestling. This seems like the most obvious choice to me. I mean TV is right in the name. Think what you will about the Miz in the ring (personally I've come around) but the guy is a good host and a goods talker. Give Miz TV about a half hour and let him run things for a while and see how it goes. Could be fun. Question is does to go kayfabe or not? Personally I think with this it would be kind of boring if it was just a bunch of guys talking about who they are going to beat up. I guess with this it could really go either way but personally I would rather them break kayfabe.
-The Steve Austin Show- Stone Cold now has two reality shows, Redneck Island and the Broken Skull Ranch. However he also has a very successful podcast that I think she just be recorded with video and made into its own show. Its Howard Stern but with your buddy Stone Cold. That sounds fun to me. Let him do his interviews the way he does (masterful) and give him a nice studio with cameras to do it in. Minimum work and you have gold! Now Chris Jericho could also dip into this a little because he does a podcast on the same website but let's let him build up his chops a bit more. I'm sure there's something else he could do in the meantime.
-The Road Show- Now this idea is borrowed from Kevin Steen's Weekend Escapades and Colt Cabana's Wrestling Road Diaries but the idea is simple. Just follow a couple wrestlers on the road. If you've ever listened to any stories from wrestlers on the road, they ways have crazy or funny stuff to talk about. The problem with this idea though is its the WWE and that means it's PG. So a show like this might get old pretty quickly but there's potential to see people like Daniel Bryan and Bri who like to check out hotspots, or maybe follow CM Punk to a comic book shop. There's enough different personal interests in the roster, and enough combinations of different people driving together that there could really be a mixed palette of content.
-Documentaries- All of those DVD compilations that the WWE has put out through the years, put em' all in one place. This also gives them the opportunities to creat new documentaries and interviews. I could get lost for days in this stuff alone.
-Tough Enough- Remember that show? Where wannabe wrestlers would compete for a contract? And then remember how they canceled it and then brought it back (with success) and then canceled it again? Well, now is the time to bring it back! But here's the thing. There's no reason for a show like Tough Enough anymore as far as getting a WWE contract goes. That's what NXT is for. Maybe just rework the show into something a little different. Maybe take normal people instead of independent wrestlers and treat it like. Wipe out sort of thing. Or maybe Biggest Loser is a better comparison because then they can tell you you're the worst kind of human for not being Tough Enough! See what I did there? Pure gold. (Nailed it!)
-Any Reality Show- Does Steve Austin want a show? Done. Does Daniel Bryan want a show about beard grooming? Sure. Does Cm Punk want to cruise comic books stores across the country? Let him. Just give a reality show to any one of their superstars that wants to try something and let the good ones weed themselves out. Not all at once of course. Let's not get crazy. I love watching any behind the scenes action I can find. It's the only reason I watch Total Divas really. Let's face it, reality shows are in. So let's use that.
Well the wheels keep turning but this is what I have off the top of my head. The WWE is looking for content and I just hope they find some interesting ideas. Maybe they will even hire me for my ideas! Yeah and then I'll be the next WWE World Heavyweight Champion while we are still in fantasy land! So what does everyone else think about my program ideas? What kind of shows would you want to see? As always sound off in the comments with ideas, or if you just want to talk (I get lonely) and you can follow me or berate me on Twitter @advent_crash. (Seriously guys. Really lonely!)
