4 Hours Wasted on WWE

 
     After watching four hours of the WWE's finest offering, I was once again reminded why I choose not to watch and follow professional wrestling anymore. It's not so much that I have grown out of the soap opera meshed sport I was raised on and so intrigued as a kid and young adult by. Its because wrestling is no longer interesting. No longer are the days in which I used to sit at the edge of my seat waiting for the next amazing wrestling move, a surprise entrance, or a comment made off the cuff by another wrestler. Gone are the times I looked forward to Monday nights, and being able to chat about it at school or work with friends.
    In the late 1990's early 2000's WWE broke the mold of what was considered pro wrestling television. Not only innovating new cutting edge production styles, and fascinating story lines, but taking risks. Creating controversial gimmicks and characters, cursing, beer drinking, half naked women, and building epic memorable wrestlers, the likes of Stone Cold, The Rock, and DX. It raised the bar, and although heavily scrutinized for such controversy, captured a giant audience and gained tons of attention in mass media.
    So what has happened? Society has now caught up. The controversial elements to the programming before is now nothing groundbreaking. Look at shows on MTV, sex is prevalent everywhere you turn, nudity is on basic over the air broadcasts, and Television dramas are more gruesome and controversial than ever before.
    I don't have the answer, I don't have the solutions. If the WWE is going to get back to where they were 10 years ago, something needs to change, something innovative. The Rock is getting older, Stone Cold and Undertaker are done, Triple H is close too. You can't rely on the past. Time to change the game WWE, before more fans change on you.
