Another reason to make the leap to WWE HD, notes Duncan Leslie, is post-broadcast potential.

"What we do today, we also use tomorrow," he explained. "We want to be able to repurpose these events that we produce and tape. Going forward, it's going to be an HD world, so we should have HD content that we can make DVDs out of, and use this material for the future."

According to Mike Grossman, WWE has yet to decide whether to distribute its high-definition pay-per-view events on HD-DVD or Blu-Ray format discs. Either way, the shift to HD programming will open the eyes of our fans worldwide.

“The move to high-definition programming is another step in WWE’s ongoing mission to provide our fans with the most engaging, exciting product possible," Grossman said. “This upgrade will be the first of many technological advances for our brand in 2008.”
