Things to make WWE more enjoyable. 1 of many compl

[the1remainder]

1. Less replays.

You can miss the 9 o'clock hour and tune into the top of the next hour to find out what hapepned at the start of the show. After one match, WWE usually comes out of a comemrical and shows you highlights of the match or shows the highlights immediately after a match conclussion. Or the spots I love when the wrestler comes out to cut a promo and directs our attention to the Titantro to show us highlights of last week.

This does not make wrestling must see tv. We live in an age of Tivo and Youtube. If people want see something or hear it's good they will find a way to see it. Save replay for big moments.

Replays seem to be a shortcut for the writing team and more work for the production team. More replays mean less product on tv or less talent on tv. It's great that the production team can put replays together but the wrestlers should be carrying the show.

The WWE roster is the biggest that I can remember in years but has the less stars. We the fans think the roster is thin but it's not lack of talent having contracts. It's how "superstars" are presented or not presented on TV.

The reason I notice this problem is because RAW has become paint by the numbers on how the show is ran. It's all about quarter hours and the top of the hour. I'm sure it means something how they get marketing or more dollars but to me a fan it feels like the product is soft in the middle and strong at the hard spots. (EST 9,10, 11 and the overrun)

It's time to rethink how the best production team runs the sports entertainment show. There isn't enough sport and not enough entertainment.

The amount of replays is way down my list of complaints with WWE. As a matter of fact, their production is the one thing they do that's miles better than any other company out there, and copious replays have existed on wrestling programs since I've been watching (the 80's).

It's just the first one I listed not my number one. Most of problems are not Super Cena or Randy Borton. There are deeper reasons why RAW and the WWE is not enjoyable. And I'm going down my list making my arguements.

I agree WWE production is very good but like I said they are relying on it too much. The product has to be improved. Too me the production is the gift wrapping and the box. The product is what is inside the box.

In the 80's and 90's the production wasn't great. It was satisfactory. We didn't care because the in-ring was presented better in terms of story and performances.

WWE is averaging 2 minute matches on RAW yet we see less wrestling on tv and less talent in ring. Replays, backstage scenes, and mic time (which i will get to) are keeping people like Drew Mcintyre off TV. Well that and creative has nothing for him and there is no reason for them to find something for him.

1. unify the titles and stop burying them... that means no more champions losing non title matches, world champion shouldn't wrestle more than once a month on tv, and not in a bullshit tag match with another face that has a parallel feud, nix the auto rematch clause... you fuck up and blow the match, you start back at the bottom, what would happen in the nfl if next year the patriots got an automatic bye to the superbowl, then if they lost a new challenger could emerge.
also the intercontinental title should be the stepping stone, and arguably the most competitive division/pursuit... want a world title shot? not until the ic... one step at a time kids

2. tag team division, all that new/non upper card talent, find their asses a partner and keep em' working until one stands out enough to make a legit move into the singles picture. ie bret and shawn... naturally there'll be exceptions to this rule but tag teams add a new and different dynamic to watching wrestling.

3. stop insulting everyone's intelligence: no more bs did you know segments, no more burying stars because vince wants to get one over on the internet fans, no more purging the history of previous feuds or pretending matches never happened a la hhh/taker at mania seventeen. and if you're going to have a show where the fans fucking pick the star, that star should be competing for a fucking title or something.

4. Bring Jim Ross Back
5. Stipulation ppv's gone forever, and start using stipulations only for blowoffs to feuds, not just cause every match fucking needs a stip, best match last year was either punk/cena or taker/hhh just plain singles, don't need a cage or chairs or bodyslam challenges.

6.Do away with backstage segments where the participants are impervious to the fact that there's a camera there, or just get rid of them all together and have your talent cut promos, looking at johnny talk about his title to eve isn't selling me a match, cm punk and chris jericho talking about how much they hate each other is

7. Figure out what you wanna do with the Divas division, are they wrestlers? well fucking train them and make them wrestlers, otherwise, they're valets/managers, and should be exploited as such

8. finally dump wwe "universe" "sports entertainment" and any other bs company vernacular, people watch the nfl, nhl, baseball, ufc because they're legit competition not cause they're staged entertainment... how'd you like to be in the middle of an oscar winning film only to have it interrupted halfway through so the director can remind you that what you love and are invested in is as fake as anything could ever be. wwe is wrestling, and it's not entertaining when i'm reminded constantly that it's not. there done ./endrant
