10 Ways WWE Can Save Its Floundering Product

8. Stop Making Every Feud Stale With Television Matches

WWE is currently sitting on a roster that features over 100 contracted male workers alone, from the main roster down through NXT and to those who have signed but haven't debuted anywhere yet. That's a ridiculous amount of people. However, even with that said, why is it that nearly every feud WWE has gets stale and gets stale quickly because we keep seeing the same matches on television all the time? Not all that long ago, pay-per-view matches seemed more special, because you wouldn't have Wrestler A VS Wrestler B six times on television before they finally faced off at the pay-per-view. Now they'll face off in a few singles matches, and maybe even team up with others in tag or six-man bouts before their "big" match. It's stupid. What the hell is the point in trying to get people to watch your pay-per-views when you've given away the entire card multiple times over already? Making it worse is when the feud isn't bringing much excitement to the fans to begin with, like just about everything Alberto Del Rio has done during his time with the company. Making it even worse than that is when we see Wrestler A VS Wrestler B on every television show every week, but it doesn't even lead to a pay-per-view match of any kind. How many times do we need to see Santino and/or Emma VS Fandango and/or Summer Rae/Layla, anyway? With a roster that large, and with the capability of bringing in guys for one-offs like TNA does, there should be no excuse for stale matches anymore. Hey, speaking of their large roster...
