Wwe don't want to share revenue with their own wrestlers but we suppose to think they gonna want to share with Indy promoters ?
How doesn't wwe have the best roster ?!??!! Between nxt and main roster they really do
Superkick Party
Atlus / Ryū ga Gotoku
The WWE roster is good but to say the best is giving them a little bit too much praise.
So what roster is better?
Aj , Finn,Owens , crews , Aries , joe , naka, Rollins , Jericho , zayn , Itami , la sombra Harper , Neville , kalisto and there are more

Shane McMahon would have done it.
Considering when he was running wwf.com he proposed the idea of having a section which covered Japan and the indies (until it was shot down) he probably would have done it.

Update On WWE Network Airing UK Indie Promotions - WrestlingInc.com
Source: Wrestling Observer Newsletter
WWE Chief Financial Officer George Barrios spoke at the Needham Emerging Technology Conference in New York City last month and indicated that the company will be working with UK indie promotions Insane Championship Wrestling and PROGRESS going forward. As we've noted in the past, there are deals in place for both promotions to air on the WWE Network if Vince McMahon gives the OK.
When asked about airing other promotions on the WWE Network, specifically Ring of Honor, Barrios said:
"Yeah, I think there's something there. It's always priority and what once comes first. We recently announced a deal with ICW and Progress, which are wrestling promotions in the UK. So we're thinking about the best way to utilize that content. As you know, we've been fairly active over the years in purchasing wrestling libraries, video libraries, a lot of which now you can see on the network. We think there's a home for that, and it just a matter of priority."
It was reported earlier this year that WWE officials were close to announcing partnerships with ICW and likely other UK indie promotions, which would open the door for North American promotions to sign similar deals. It was noted at the time that Vince had changed his mind several times but the multi-year deals remained on the table. WWE has had minor working relationships with both ICW and PROGRESS over the past year or so. The announcement Barrios is referring to in the comments above could be for the WWE UK tournament or the matches at WrestleMania 33 Axxess that featured ICW and PROGRESS talents but no content partnerships have been announced.

What's that,
Facts
Vince would want total control over the product for good reason. I said it in another thread, but wrestling pretty much died once the WWF went public. If they do this, the other promotions wouldn't have the freedom to do whatever they wanted. If they do anything offensive, that action would stick with the WWE & Cokeboy since the offending company would be under the WWE umbrella. It's not worth the liability given the limited payoff for putting it on the Network.

Can't wait for this if Vince gives it the ok. The announcements will be glorious along with the watered down content.
