10 Ways Triple H Has Transformed WWE In Just One Month
10. More In-Ring Wrestling
The amount of wrestling fans get per hour of top-tier programming like Raw and SmackDown has skyrocketed since Trips took the helm. Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics took the time to collate data that proves it; the 15 August Raw, for example, featured 75 minutes of in-ring action.
That's approx 25 mins per hour of air time, which is up from staggering lows of just 12 minutes per hour on the 4 April broadcast. In other words, Hunter has put way more emphasis on actual grappling, which is way more in line with what fans want to see when they tune into core programming.
Of course, people expect to see promos, angles and shenanigans whenever they watch too, but WWE seemed to forget that it's a pro wrestling company under Vince. Thankfully, it looks like Triple H wants to put that right and restore some balance whilst still maintaining the "sports entertainment" style drama.
Bring it on.
