10 Ways WWE Matches Einstein's Definition Of Insanity

4. Repeating Matches Over And Over

If WWE were to release a DVD package looking at matches between John Cena and Randy Orton, or Sheamus and Wade Barrett, it's likely there'd be enough content to fill three discs plus. In fairness, WWE only have a finite number of wrestlers under contract, and do produce a hell of a lot of content each week. However, that makes it even worse that fans are expected to sit through the same matches time and time again. Bruno Sammartino once said in an interview that during multi-night runs at Madison Square Garden against the same opponent, they'd switch things up a little, looking to give the fans (who were pretty much the same from the previous evening) a wholly different spectacle. Contrast that to the aforementioned battles between modern-day stars, who run through the same spots and transitions, only really mixing it up when it comes to the finish. Sure, Barrett vs. Sheamus is a smash mouth, entertaining match, but it loses a lot of appeal once you see it on Pay-Per-View, Raw then Main Event, all in the span of a few weeks.
