WWE Network, Orton/Kofi, Future Stars, Daniel Bryan

Written by Richard Gray on Feb 15, 2010 - 11:01:22 AM

With WWE now almost certainly launching their own cable network, do you see them replaying old episodes of Raw and Smackdown?

As Ryan mentioned in "Ryan's Take" on the website last week, WWE is not going to have a problem filling a network with programming. WWE owns hours upon hours of footage from tape libraries they have acquired over the years. Not to mention the movies they have produced and the upcoming sitcom they are doing. I think we could see everything from reruns of Raw and Smackdown to new WWE sitcoms.

I remember you posting an article somewhere that Randy Orton was extremely upset at Kofi Kingston for messing up a spot in a match. Do you feel that Randy made too much out of the situation in order to stay ahead in the company? Every time I tune in I notice that Kofi is way over with the crowd.

I've been told Randy Orton has gone to WWE officials on more than one occasion to tell them he doesn't feel Kofi Kingston is ready to be pushed as a main event talent. However, Kofi continues to hang around the main event scene and is in the Elimination Chamber match for the WWE Championship. As for Randy throwing around his backstage influence, he's a top star and his input is valued. He isn't doing it to protect his push and his push in the company is safe.

With some of the best in WWE retiring or suffering from injuries who is going to step into those shoes?

The obvious name is Sheamus who is the current WWE Champion. Other names being groomed for future main event pushes are Ted DiBiase, Cody Rhodes, Kofi Kingston, Drew McIntyre, John Morrison and R-Truth. Jack Swagger also has potential as does Evan Bourne. I think the monster push of Sheamus is a direct result of WWE realizing they need new top names to fill the shoes of workers on their way out.

Daniel Bryan, is that the best they could come up with? Why not just call him Bryan Daniels or something like that? Do you think there's any hope they will rename him when he gets called up?

I do not like the name either but apparently it is the best WWE could come up with. Hopefully the name will get altered before he gets called up but I have no idea if it will happen. The company has been known to change names from developmental to the main roster so we aren't out of hope yet.
