10 Ways WWE Matches Einstein's Definition Of Insanity

9. Monologues Opening Each Show

Way back during his run as World Heavyweight Champion in 2002-2003, Triple H was often blamed for hogging screen time at the start of each Monday Night Raw broadcast. Cutting lengthy promos each and every week, The Game would sometimes take as much as 20 minutes to get to his main point, something which infuriated a lot of fans, who turned to the internet as a tool in which to vent their frustrations. Incredibly, this is still happening, although it's now not only Triple H who is at fault. It's understandable that WWE would want to set the scene for a story to be told throughout each telecast, but the whole process feels a little too formulaic, and with Raw being three hours long nowadays, fans are treated to seeing the same speech over and over again throughout the duration of the show. When WWE decide to open Raw with a match, or something radical like that, it feels fresh. The problem is, speaking is such an important part of how the company tell stories and sell big matches, that cannot be denied, but they really need to keep the show feeling spontaneous, rather than like a re-run.
