This Sunday, WWE will present Money In The Bank, the 6th event in the series since the first took place back in 2010. A quick look online will reveal the fact that many grappling fans are excited about the show, but a lot of people do feel there are far too many Pay-Per-View and special events coming thick and fast. It was only a few weeks ago that the promotion presented Elimination Chamber, for example. At least Battleground will take place in mid-July, giving almost a month between supershows, but the advent of the WWE Network has enabled WWE to worry less about Pay-Per-View buyrate numbers, instead focusing simply on providing fresh content for the legion of Network subscribers. That's likely why these shows are coming so rapidly, with little room to breathe in between them. Whilst it's great that the company are so dedicated to providing original Network content, there's no real need to tune in to shows like Monday Night Raw or Thursday Night Smackdown, because the gaps between Pay-Per-View style events is very short. Traditionally, Raw and Smackdown were used as little more than hype vehicles for the PPV shows, but that has changed somewhat since the Network came into play.
