WWE has recently seen some decline in ratings and viewership, which some blame on Triple H's booking. However, Hall of Famer Teddy Long believes that booking is much more challenging now than it was before due to the plethora of shows and events the company has.
Over the years, the Stamford-based promotion has added new shows to its schedule, such as Saturday Night's Main Event. According to Teddy Long, booking so many shows, as opposed to fewer in the past, presents its own problems, affecting the structuring and storylines for the stars.
Speaking on the latest episode of The Wrestling Time Machine, hosted by Mac Davis, the WWE Hall of Famer stated:
"That's because there is so much of it now. That's why. There's so much, I mean, God, you, and you all know good it's just a whole lot. And it's hard to book. And knowing the used guys, you know the way they should be used, when it's so much going on," said Teddy.

According to veteran journalist Bill Apter, the Stamford-based promotion is not exactly struggling, as some believe.
Speaking on the same episode of The Wrestling Time Machine, Apter talked about how Triple H had ensured financial profits over the years despite declining viewership for the product. He said:
"Wait, wait, wait, WWE is not struggling. Look at the amount of money that they are (bringing in)... Well, they have lost a million or 2 million people, but they are still getting 1.5 million people. So..."
It remains to be seen what steps the company's CCO Triple H will take next.
