WWE: 10 Huge Errors On The Road To WrestleMania 30

5. Making Outside Projects The Focus

Can you believe that just two weeks before WrestleMania one of the chief concerns of WWE was promoting a Scooby Doo movie? The WWE has perhaps been juggling too many plates in recent months, and the quality of WrestleMania has suffered as a result. They've seemingly struggled to book the simplest of Raw episodes, the Mania matches themselves have changed on multiple occasions as the McMahon's showed indecisiveness. A contributing factor could be that everyone has been distracted with the late February launch of the WWE Network. They haven't had time to think about the impending WrestleMania extravaganza. Granted, the Mania PPV will benefit from the successful Network launch, but it has almost certainly suffered from a lack of attention indirectly. WWE just hasn't had their eye on the ball, particularly with creative and matching the narrative to the consumer desires. With the Network and Mania being in such close proximity to each other everyone involved has had to work twice as hard. The strain has showed. It was arguably an error not to launch the Network before a safer big PPV such as the Royal Rumble so everything could have been settled before Mania. If the Network ends up crashing on the night of WrestleMania then the error will be magnified significantly.
