There's been a lot of speculation on WWE possibly bringing indie wrestling content to the WWE Network after a few Fan Council surveys were issued this year to gauge interest, specifically mentioning promotions like Ring of Honor, EVOLVE, CZW and several others.

It looks like indies will be coming to the WWE Network soon as Vince McMahon has decided that he does want at least some "hot indies" on the Network, according to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio.

WWE issued a survey earlier this fall that included potential price points of $4.99, $9.99 and $14.99. Promotions listed in that survey were TNA and ROH. They issued another survey this fall that asked fans which promotions they were watching - PWG, CHIKARA, EVOLVE, DGUSA, OVW, AAW, CZW, Shimmer, SCW, ROH and FIP.

No word yet on when we may see indies on the Network or which promotions may sign deals with WWE but Meltzer believes the next few months will be very interesting for the business with potential changes. He also speculated on WWE forming alliances with other promotions, similar to what they have done with WWN Live over the past year.


I'd definitely resubscribe. :drool:

Speaking of which, I watched "Inside America's Most Violent Wrestling Deathmatch" on youtube the other day. Really nice documentary. Won't link it here though because I'd get 10% for posting excessive violence, but youtube it if you're interested

I'm guessing they will/going to remove PG from the Network if so. I've heard CZW is crazy shit.

WWE strongly considering Taker/Styles at the RR

Holy fuck yes please

Vince really wants to do Taker/Cena at WM33, this has to happen as Takers last match
