10 Reasons Why WWE Fans Are Rapidly Losing Faith

9. Oversaturation

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume of content WWE produce. If you keep up with the company’s four regular shows, you’re looking at dedicating seven hours of your life to their programming every single week, and even more on pay-per-view weeks. That’s a lot, and while the Network makes cherry picking easier than ever before, the overload inevitably leads to burnout.

Raw’s length remains a huge problem too. Three hours is a long, long time, and while the show has improved in quality since WrestleMania 33, it remains an exhausting, filler-ridden slog. Unfortunately, the format makes WWE too much advertising revenue to ever be cancelled, and we’re seemingly stuck with it forever.

If you’ve been paying attention to any of WWE’s recent earnings releases, you’ll know the company take great delight in “super serving” their audience. This apparently means flooding their distribution channels with as many different shows as possible, and it’s too much for the average fan to keep up with. Following this promotion can be a draining process, and it’s often easier to turn off the television, get up from the sofa, and do something else instead.
