10 Changes That Would Enhance WWE's TV

10. Commentary Changes

Renee Young's official replacement of Jonathon Coachman is a great start, but the impact of commentary could be so much greater if they weren't so heavily structured.

With Vince in the ears of the commentary team, their delivery and topics constantly feel both rigid and forced. No matter what's happening in the ring, the commentary is always trying to sell you on something. Whether it's a match being built to or a literal product WWE wants to sell, the painfully obvious goal of the commentary team is getting you to buy something.

That's not even necessarily a bad thing, WWE is a business and for that business to thrive, they need network buys, app downloads, and sponsors to get their commission. It's completely fair, but they don't always need to make it so obvious and clearly structured.

No matter what Michael Cole is saying at the time, you know it will eventually lead to the word "Sunday", because that's where the real focus is. Sometimes that can be a serious damper to what's actually taking place in the ring at that moment. Allow for looser commentary that feels both more natural and less like a never-ending sales pitch.
