Another thing most professional sports have that the WWE doesn't is an off-season. Usually, just as fans may start to feel bored with a sport, it goes away for six months and allows the audiences to miss it. Wrestling is hard work. The latest WWE Network show Breaking Ground spends hours driving that fact home. The work is hard on the performers' bodies and it requires them to be in peak, physical condition. So why does the company not allow for a significant rest period for their superstars that are constantly traveling? While a true off-season similar to that of any other professional sport is a pipe dream, a rolling calendar in which talents are only required to work 9-10 months out of the year would work wonders for both the company and the talent. It would reduce the health risks and overexposure associated with talent, and allow the athletes time to regroup, recharge their batteries, and come back stronger, more full of energy. It also gives the audience time to miss the characters and perhaps learn an appreciation for them that they previously didn't know they had. "Absence makes the heart grow fonder," is the saying and it absolutely applies to the WWE superstars.
