Could a one month off season possibly work in wrestling?

[WMG the 2nd]

lucha underground technically has one since they film it all and take break for season but could it work where wrestling promotions or even shows like smackdown and raw took a break where wwe rotated three brands at a time. Raw and smackdown and nxt for he first six months, smackdown and raw he next two, smackdown and nxt for the next two, and raw and nxt for he last two before he too of the year and the royal rumble/mania run for six months


Maybe it helps keep guys from getting hurt as frequently? Puts all the focus on two specific brands and in case some one were to get hurt you have a roster of guys who aren't doing weekly shows who you can pool from

Plus wins and losses would mean more because you would likely want to win or be champion more because you wouldn't theoretically be defending the title every time you appear

Also could force more memorable characters due to only having so much time to make an impact

No, giving different wrestlers time off at certain points throughout the year would though.

Nah, but reducing house shows would be just as beneficial.

With 52 weeks of television to fill.

YES, and in WWE's case, it's sorely needed.

Let USA show Psych, White Collar and Silk Stalkings for a few months while they figure shyt out.

Do other TV shows sell pay per views?
Do other TV shows run live events?

They don't even take holidays off because it would hurt business, yet they're supposed to take off 4 straight weeks....

Hypothetically, What month would you have this happen in?

 

[mrken12]

An offseason will never happen. Having a 3 month period where they have a reduced number of house shows would be great but that's not happening either.
It is what it is.

If wrestling had a union this could legitimately be addressed and worked out.

Get dropped on your neck 300 nights out of the year for the business brehs

No. Why, money.
