To expand on my idea since I thought more about it. If WWE is going to a ton of trouble for the rights to do the network in different countries they should at least try to create region specific original "in ring" programming. Basically take the nxt concept and expand it to England, Japan,Mexico, etc. it would give them their own international feeder system for main roster call ups and those countries would have WWE prescence year round instead of tours. As far as being on the network, as cool as it'd be for the shows to be available everywhere they'd probably need to be limited due to the rights issues. but maybe once a year they could have an international NXT cup special or something similar.
with their current money problems I don't think this could happen any time soon. But I don't have a doubt that they haven't thought about building performance centers in other countries and my idea would be the logical extension of that, and they've probably thought about it too.
