WWE will have fewer PPVs in 2018

[FromStLouis]

ugh, I want to make a thread on this entirely but I don't have privileges yet. Yet. .

ETA: Something to think about - why isn't 205Live on the chopping block? Because they already paid for the arena and crew. .

Stay tuned.

That shyt is gonna keep struggling until they go back to 2 hours

Smackdown is only 2 hours and their attendance is struggling.

Bring back King of the Ring was my second favorite PPV after the rumble as a kid

KOTR was dope when they did it like a 1 Night Tourney. I think it got wack when they started doing the rounds on TV and then only the final at the main event of a PPV.

I mean I get it... cuz that way they can utilize more of their talent instead of investing all that time for 8 wrestlers.... but still.

I was dope in its original format and I felt the change watered it down.

But I agree, it was one of the dopest ones

You can make it a network special like the Cruiserweight Classic or MYC but it wont happen

the live shows are all 3+ hours cause they film 205 Live after SD!

But, I dont believe that its just cause of episode length... there are many factors that stop people from giving a shyt, but he biggest one for me is that raw is 3+ hrs long... who wants to become invested in such a giant timesink with stories and characters that usually go nowhere?

Just have only 1 ppv per month and bring back Saturday Night's Main Event for special events

 

[TRIPLE M]

They need to get rid of all the gimick loves so that they can be used to culminate feuds like they're supposed and saved for big shows

 

[Art Barr]

Big 4 and some Clash of the Champion'ish type of events would do

I get anxiety attacks looking through the selection on the Network

it is the lack of quality for the past fifteen years and knowing there is not much to revisit past taboo nostalgia.

That shyt is gonna keep struggling until they go back to 2 hours

it is never going back to two hours.
as the WWE added three hours of programming so, they could go to an additional fifteen minutes of content and the rest specialized as ad and marketing dollars.

raw is like one hour and forty five minutes of content. When it was two hours it was like one hour and thirty minutes of content via programming.

WWE will never go back to mainstream prime time weekend programming because Saturday and Friday are viewed as the two days of death on tv.
