10 Reasons Vince McMahon Needs To Retire By Year’s End
4. He Has Over-Saturated His Own Product
Apparently Vince has never heard of the expression too much of a good thing. Vince doesnt like competition; that much has been present since the moment he first acquired the WWF from his father and embarked on a nationwide expansion program, with the goal of eliminating other promotions one. At the same time, Vince somehow believes that every single fan loves WWE every waking minute of their lives, and so he has increased the amount of weekly wrestling programming available to the average fan of the WWE. As a result, fans have Monday Night RAW (which is now 3 hours long), Main Event, Thursday Night SmackDown, Total Divas, Vintage Collection, and much more on the WWE Network. Not only has this surge in WWE content over-exposed the WWE Superstars, but it has also led to an increase in production costs without a correlated increase in profit, leading to serious concern on the parts of stockholders. What Vince failed to realize is that no one lives WWE as much he does, except maybe John Cena. But those two are in no way an accurate representation of what average wrestling fans are like. Wrestling fans need a break from wrestling each week; without one, they will lose interest very quickly, matches will become repetitive and pointless, and empathy will soon replace passion. Alas, this is what has become of the average fan; they have too much WWE on their hands, and so they stop caring. Vince needs to learn from some of the most popular series, which are often aired only once a week. Keeping them waiting for something and then making the product worth the wait is a better way of keeping fans than giving them too much wrestling.
