the WWE YouTube channel is partly why the Network is failing

Maybe not a big part, but they're undercutting their own product w/ it. :what:

For example...

Main Event comes on the Network at like 7pm, well the WWE YouTube channel is putting the results up like 2-3 hours later. If there's a 10 min match on Main Event, the YouTube channel will condense it down to 2 mins. And let's be real, it's a Main Event match, all it's worth is about a 2 min highlight anyway....but these vids still get like 100,000 views in less than 24hrs. When the Undertaker was on Main Event as a big exclusive, it was on the WWE Youtube channel like 2 hrs after. Why buy when they're just gonna give it to you for free in a couple hours?

Another thing is the 'RAW Fallout', the 'Smackdown Fallout' segments they have on there. Why not put this on the Network? They don't even do the Smackdown pre//post shows anymore.....so why not just put the Smackdown Fallout on there?

You're giving it away free to the non-paying customer, while the paying customer is being ignored. But more importantly, the non-paying customer sees no reason to pay b/c they're getting it for free. :snoop:

I realize too much stuff from the YouTube channel would clutter up the Network, but they could organize it under categories and make it work.

I agree. There are way too many things on the YouTube channel that aren't on the network, and should be.

Why not air the JBL & Cole show in between other shows? Why not quit making the "WWE Top Ten" videos and save them for countdown episodes?

Plus, there's so much storyline development that happens only on the app or on the YouTube channel. Pretty much every single one of Xavier Woods' segments leading up to and after the "New Nation" formed happened on the app. That's why him showing up in the ring on Monday seemed so random. That concerns more than just the network, obviously, but it shows how fragmented everything in WWE is now, with the main shows, the network, the WWE app, and YouTube.
