Is there too much wrestling ?

Question

Hi,

I am wondering if you think like me that there is just too many ppvs and just too much wrestling nowadays. It just kill our entertainment. I mean the internet almost ruined wrestling. I myself don'T order ppvs at 40$ i wait for the dvds to come out at 25$ much nicer price but i only buy the more important ppvs like summerslam,cyber sunday,survivor series,royal rumble,wrestlemania. I admit to have given a thought about buying night of champions. I seriously don'T know who won because i did not watch raw or smackdown lately. It's just that ppvs have lost their special feel attached to them like in the past. I was so happy to see that a new ppv was out. Not it's like well it's just another ppvs. Backlash have to go,armageddom have to go no one watch wrestling around christmas.

Answer 1

I agree. They need less ppv's. It was nice some years ago when there were less ppvs, more time to hype big matches, and more big matches on free TV.

Answer 2

no, we need MORE wrestling. we need a wrestling show on Wednesday. a show everyday of the week would be awesome.

Answer 3

Maybe a few too many PPV's yes, but too much wrestling in general? Nooo!

Answer 4

Absolutely. It's not just a matter of the money they want us to dish out every month, it's the whole maintaining interest thing. Even with the lesser weekend shows moved to the web, you have 6 hours of wrestling a week in WWE alone and that's not counting PPV or SNME weeks. I haven't got that kind of attention span. And you're right, the PPVs are just not that special. They are so short on ideas for all of this programing that we get a LOT of rematches too. If I'm paying $40 for a PPV, I don't want the match to be one I've seen on two previous PPVs and 3 weeks of Raw. Make less PPVs and build the feuds. One-offs and rematches are usually boring. I would have a lot more enthusiasm for WWE if there was less of it but more thought put into it. Quality, not quantity, people.

Answer 5

No, I don't think that there is too much wrestling... But I do think that the pay-per-view prices are outrageous.

Answer 6

So, the Internet killed wrestling, as opposed to a business monopolising the industry and then putting out garbage every week. Yeah, sure. For many of us, the Internet is the only alternative to WWE.

Yeah, I agree. The whole point of PPV, be it wrestling, boxing or MMA, was to give the fans something fresh and interestling every time. When you have the same wrestlers doing the same thing , when you have the same matches on two PPVs in a row, it gets boring and redundant. I can't actually remember the last time I bought a WWE PPV. I didn't even buy one to see Flair, because I knew that the highlights would be shown on TV, that Flair woul get a formal farewell and that they'd capitalise on his retirement with a DVD. I can see myself buying one for the rubber match between HBK and Jericho, but taht's about it,

Answer 7

There will never be too much wrestling

Answer 8

There is definately too many PPV's if that's what you mean. It gives feuds less time to develop and some matches that are placed on the card are completely meaningless, like Santino and Beth beating Kofi and Mickie James. It had no build up what so ever and happened out of the blue.

I think 6 PPV's a year is the best. The big 4, followed by 2-4 more PPV's. That's about enough for some good feuds to build up. It could also help Smackdown and Raw ratings like that by having some high profile matches advertised on Smackdown and Raw instead of jamming up a PPV card.

Edit - Did the Internet kill professional wrestling? To some degree, yes it did. Kayfabe is not even a word associated with wrestling anymore to be honest, because almost every WWE fan or wrestling fan in general knows it's pre determined and to some degree fake. Internet gives us insight and those "spoilers" that destroy ratings for Smackdown and ECW. Chris Jericho's come back wasn't special because almost the whole fan base of WWE knew he was already coming, thanks to the Internet.

Answer 9

You're sick. Wrestling is the greatest entertainment there is hands down. Plus, wrestlers go through all that hard work not for the title belts, but for the simple pleasure of making fans watch what they want to see.

Answer 12
