10 Things Wrong With Every Episode Of WWE Raw
5. Endless Replays
WWE targets their product to children, so it might be churlish to criticise some aspects of its programming from the perspective of an adult.
People of a certain age resent the preferential treatment afforded to Reigns because it's something they've lived through and resented well before the man set up residence in Florida Chanmpionship Wrestling. Notwithstanding Hulk Hogan and John Cena, men who played the incongruous underdog act for years and years, the Reigns approach is Vince McMahon's standard mode. Those who have tired of it will hijack shows with ceaseless jeers - but they're not going to buy enough Cesaro t-shirts en masse to force his hand.
That said, even a six year old is capable of remembering what happened in the preceding thirty minutes of his life. And yet, to fill up airtime on a show powered by little in the way of original thought, the audience is subjected to endless replays. The RAW writers have the imagination of a goldfish; the audience, in turn, is expected to have the memory of one.
We're the ones still watching. Maybe we do deserve to have our intelligence insulted.
