WWE sucks for these following reasons. Basically the business model sucks and it designed to draw as much revenue as possible without putting effort to put forth quality programming (assbackwards right?)

1) Too many programs. You have RAW, SMACKDOWN, NXT, Superstars, Total Divas, and I think some others shows too. All of these are spread out throughout the week so its pretty much a different show everyday of the week. The problem is its too much for fans to digest. This the biggest problem above all else because it starts a snowball effect which I’m going to go into through the rest of this list.

2) The quality of wrestling sucks. A lot of chemistry and practice between two guys has to take place in order to get a good match. When that supposed to take place under WWE’s current format? A guy has a good match on a Monday taping of SMACKDOWN in Chicago and then he flies to Philly for a taping of SaturdayNightsMainevent and then there is a PPV that Sunday followed by Raw on Monday. I think WWE came up with movesets for their wrestlers for this reason. You aren’t going to get a lot of technical wrestling because of this. Instead you get two guys trading punches, stomps, and headlocks during the early stage of the match. Then you get the moveset/5 moves of doom during the middle. Then some bullshit happens leading to an abrupt ending with a finisher. Some of these finishers suck and have you wondering why guys are kicking out. This isn’t the product for you if you like storytelling in your wrestling. I think that is the reason guys like Ziggler aren’t punched because the company doesn’t see value in technical ability. The technical wrestling style doesn’t fit their business model. What they do is they have the good wrestlers carry matches and then have the John Cena respond with the moveset followed by the finisher. Since the product is geared towards kids; they see Cena beating a guy that can actually wrestle which implys he is the better wrestler. That’s why you...
