![]() This has severely impacted the WWE and has led to goofier gimmicks, more control over what the wrestlers say, and pseudo-hardcore matches. While The Attitude Era and Ruthless Aggression Era wrestling focused on catering to teenagers and adults, today’s product is aimed for kids. And as long as their obsession with putting out content exceeds their need for making quality shows, the more PPVs will only mean more subpar shows.Īnother major reason why the WWE product has seen a decline is due to the nature of the show. Plus, with the news of more PPVs coming this year as a result of the brand split, the WWE will have a ton of events but little to nothing interesting happening on them as history has shown. ![]() ![]() Raw is a three-hour chore rather than exciting TV, SmackDown has become irrelevant, and most of the WWE Network specials do little to nothing to advance the show. Not only has the quality of PPVs gone down, but the quality of all their other shows has decreased as well. With the creation of the WWE Network, the company now offers these PPVs for a very, low price and the quality of the shows feels almost exactly the same as the cost. While they did go a little overboard during the years of the brand split with the sheer number of shows, they still seemed as if they were trying their best to put out quality entertainment with stacked cards to entice TV viewers to buy the PPV. And while most people think that the WWE has some good things going for it, it clearly isn’t enough to provoke the interest of the masses.Īnd so, this article will examine why the WWE’s shows are at an all-time low and may very well be the worst it’s ever been.īack in the day, WWE PPVs used to feel like big events that you were excited to see. However, since 2012, the buzz and popularity around professional wrestling have been on a more severe decline than ever before. And perhaps it’s because of the WWE’s secure place on top that they have been producing a lackluster product over the years.Įver since the end of The Attitude Era, the popularity for the WWE has been on a decline, but that decline was somewhat expected as shows rarely stay largely popular for years upon years. With years of good wrestling, memorable encounters, and millions of dollars made, the WWE is internationally known as the biggest wrestling company in the world. Household names like Stone Cold Steve Austin, Hulk Hogan, The Rock, Macho Man Randy Savage, and other well-known wrestlers were either original Superstars made in the WWE or were changed up a bit and promoted in a way that made them into the legends we now revere them as. And for good reason, as some of the biggest names in sports entertainment have emerged from the company. With the days of the territories and the Monday Night Wars long gone, the WWE has become the most notable company for professional wrestling on earth. For the longest time, the WWE has been the defining company for professional wrestling.
