5 productive things WWE can do while on a "hiatus"

#4. Give new fans a chance to catch up

New fans are going to need more than this to catch up

Do you - or have you ever - read comic books? You ever open an issue of a series you're not familiar with and think "what in the Wide World of Sports is going on here?" WWE programming can be like that. It's part of the reason there's so little slow-burn, long term storytelling on their shows - they need people new to the product to be able to jump right in.

Now, what if WWE had two or three weeks of air time to help new fans catch up with their stories? Imagine a show where the company recapped the last couple of months of stories - and took their time to do it. You could still interview Superstars in their homes, via Skype or what have you. Or even do an on-location video shoot with minimal crew, if need be.

Obviously, you can't do shows like that forever. If things aren't cleared up after a while, WWE will either have to go back to empty arena shows again or simply suspend programming altogether. Until then, however, this is a fine time to help newcomers get acclimated with the stories WWE has been trying to tell - and maybe even connect the dots on some to events that have happened in the past in ways they weren't able to before.

I know they have This Week in WWE on the Network (they still have that, right?)
