7 Worst Wrestling Moments Of The Week (March 12)

2. Unadvertised Matches

Why did WWE think it was a good idea to book Jinder Mahal in an eight minute match you have to pay to watch, when they usually book him in 2 minute squashes on free TV? Who out there is supposed to be satisfied with this decision? Maybe Jinder Mahal? I doubt he was pleased either.

I don’t see what’s wrong with a two hour pay-per-view. Am I crazy? If Raw is three hours every week, perhaps a tightly booked, faster paced Sunday night show would feel more important and less dragged out. Even in Nitro’s glory years, they’d throw out stuff like Glacier vs. Mike Enos all the time on ppvs, and no one cared until one of the 35 people in the nWo came out. It was one of the 5,000 things that killed the company. No one wanted to pay for Glacier vs. Enos, Bischoff!

Here’s the thing, no one on the planet bought the WWE Network in March because of Cesaro vs. Jinder Mahal, because it wasn’t announced in advance. It was only there to kill time, which in effect makes the show worse. Even if it was advertised beforehand, no one would have bought it. So why bother putting it on-air? Same goes with Rusev vs. Big Show. There’s already five hours of TV to kill every week, don't bring down pay-per-views. That's when people get together and order pizza and drink alcohol. At Fastlane, you had to drink just to get through the filler, and the bizarre booking decision.
