When you strip away all the numbers and metrics, what youre left with is plain old-fashioned stubbornness and resistance to change. The year-round business model is one that has always worked for TV since moving since the Monday Night Raw era began, and despite fluctuations in quality and ratings, its paid off for the most part.

Were willing to bet that if they company were to switch to this schedule even just as a one year trial run it would go a long way toward reigniting some of the kindling interest in fans of the company, many of whom have been following the industry for decades and are kicking and screaming in protest while they fight the dissipation of their interest in the entertainment they once loved.
