1. WWE Has Eight Hours Of Television And Needs To Reinstate Competitive Wrestling For Wrestling's Sake As A Plot Device
We've yet again reached one of those points wherein we see too much wrestling. In every era since the WWF hit big-time cable television in 1983, there has reached a point where pundits feel as though the WWF (now WWE) product has been over-exposed. With WWE now pushing the Network, as well as eight first-run programs, it may be a time to consider pushing great wrestling for the sake of great wrestling as a significant plot device. At present, WWE's TV and storylines appear as follows. Daniel Bryan is not just a wrestler, but a man protecting his wife from an angry horror-movie monster The Wyatt Family and John Cena are locked in a struggle based around existentialism and the creation of mental fatigue in Cena The Shield and Evolution are literally at war Wade Barrett and Sheamus are getting re-packaged and re-pushed. Rusev and Brock Lesnar are unbeatable Cesaro is a main-eventer on the rise. Tag team wrestling is also on the rise. Paige is on the rise (and others are jealous), but Natalya's skills as an artist are not. Adam Rose loves to party El Torito and Hornswoggle (and their full-sized human friends) are locked in a seemingly eternal battle Yes, there may be more, but for the most part, that's about it. At no point does the idea of two men grappling for in-ring superiority (which ultimately is the point of pro wrestling) anywhere in that picture. In maybe invoking some classic grappling competitions into the mix, WWE could freshen up a stale product in some respects and allow for their roster to have depth and scope instead of just a few talents being showcased as being the "future of WWE."
