Sadly, I am suffering as a wrestling fan. The sport I enjoy is going through a rough patch. I know this for certain because I remember the good times. To this day, I cherish wrestlers like Steve Austin and Ric Flair.
As a result of good memories and common sense, I am able to recognize some of the problems with WWE at the present time.
However, unlike Vince McMahon, I have the intestinal fortitude to address several problems ruining the current product. If you don’t believe me, read my thoughts below:
Some Problems with Modern Wrestling in WWE
- “Monday Night Raw” is an issue for the company. Because of the show’s length (3 hours), fans have to endure tons of filler content. In turn, fans get bored and do something else.
- Scripted promos stink. Wrestlers in WWE memorize a bunch of lines. This makes every character seem bland and unconnected to the wrestling audience.
- A lack of star power needs to be discussed. WWE has not created a big star since John Cena. And it shows. Fans don’t pop for the current wrestlers like those of the past. Unfortunately, when the older stars evoke more passion from the crowd, younger superstars get pushed to the side. By moving younger talent to the back of the line, WWE is not able to transition the product forward to another successful era.
If these problems persist, WWE will continue to lose fans in droves to something more entertaining.
However, WWE could stop fans from leaving the product by doing a simple thing!
WWE needs to start giving the fans what they desire.
Fans simply want a quality product filled with unique personalities and coherent story lines.
And I don’t think the request for a quality product should come as a surprise to WWE.
After all, WWE is supposed to be the best wrestling company in the world.
