5 WWE changes we need to see as part of Vince McMahon's 'new beginning'

#4 Fewer PPV matches and minutes

One of the biggest problems in modern-day WWE is the number of hours of weekly programming. Viewers of Raw and SmackDown Live currently watch a total of five hours of WWE per week, plus an extra three hours if you include 205 Live, NXT and NXT UK, and that number will increase to over nine hours when the Mae Young Classic and Mixed Match Challenge return.

Add pay-per-views to the mix and there is at least one week per month where there is a total of 13-14 hours of new programming that WWE fans can watch to keep up to date with storylines, and that number increases to 17+ hours when there is an NXT TakeOver event.

Needless to say, even for the most die-hard WWE fan, these numbers are far too high. When there is already that much programming, it is difficult to get excited for pay-per-view events, especially now that almost every PPV lasts around five hours, including kickoff shows.

PPVs would make for a much better viewing experience if they lasted a reasonable amount of time (1hr kickoff show, 3hr PPV), with no more than eight matches on each card.
