If you watch everything WWE has to offer then maybe it's too much for you. I only watched Raw, Smackdown, Main Event, and Tribute To The Troops. Main Event I don't watch as much since it isn't on ION anymore, and I never watch NXT or Superstars unless there's a match that interests me on there. Raw and Smackdown are the two main things I watch.

It is too much. But as others have said, you can skip through what you don't want to see. The part that buggs me is that in the nearly 12hours of WWE content this week, we only have a tiny variation concerning the match-ups... It wouldn't be that hard to watch if they showed different matches on each shows, or at least not 5 rematches in a row. (of course I'm not talking NXT here) The same matches over and over suck. But they don't seem to be able to get out of it. There's very few guys they can put in main event spots and they don't want to risk veering from them. I think we're going to get Cena vs Rollins as the Raw main at least twice between now and the Rumble, with nobody caring about the match at all.

Its too much. 3 Hour Raws with 1 1/2 hours of commercials, a 3 hour PPV with a 2 2/3 run time, and a few other hour shows... NXT is all that has my interest. I just can't watch the current product anymore. Every week is the same matches in different combinations. Raw needs to go back to 2 hours. They also need to make superstar cuts. Big Show and Henry need to be gone. Use them as special "legends" matches or apperances. I can't continue to watch them both go from Heel to Face to heel to face.... Its boring. Cena. We need a new Cena. I don't even need a heel Cena. I just need a new version of him. HLR is overdone. I've heard it for nearky a decade. Its time for change. Sure, Hogan didn't change as a character until nWo, but that was when we got shows spread out. We have Cena like 3 times a week, for 52 weeks a year. Lets give him a new found gimmick. How about bunghole boyfriend. Jealous boyfriend heel that beats on anyone that goes near Bella. Something. it, turn him heel, bring back the Authority, over throw Rollins, and give us Heel Cena vs Returning Anti-Authority Bryan. The older the product gets, the more of the same crap we see. I almost miss the days of 52 shows a year of cable tv WWe instead of 3-5 shows a week, But NxT can stay the way it is!!!

If it's too much for you then just watch NXT, it's the only good thing they've done all week anyways.

If it doesn't happen on the first two hours of RAW, there's a pretty good chance I will never see it.

But the rosters where alot more talented and much deeper back then. WWE roster is almost always 45-50 deep though the years. I will agree they're more talented back in the 80s/90s but with all those shows you might only have 1 non squash match per show. Everything else was high quality matches like Jim Duggan vs Larry Smith lol

We saw Duggan vs. Larry Smith to help build up his big PPV match against Earthquake in 2 or 3 months time. When we see Duggan vs. Earthquake, it's a first. Now we see Dolph vs. Cesaro go one on one every single Raw, and in a tag match against eachothere every single smackdown leading up to their big ppv match in 3 weeks!

It's like a good film, there's no such thing as a good film that's too long. There's no such thing as a bad film that's too short. The sheer quantity of the product that they're putting out right now is completely off putting to me, and I've watched maybe 5 shows this year (Rumble, WM, Raw after Mania, Raw when sting was supposed to debut but didn't and Survivor Series). The product isn't good enough to justify the amount they're putting out. At least IMO.

I usually just stick to RAW and NXT and if I hear there is a good match that will or has already taken place on Smackdown or Main Event I'll check it out.

True, I see what you're saying now. Its not too much wrestling...its NOT ENOUGH JOBBERS!!!! lol They have jobbers, but they are trying to make them upper mid card and main eventers. Back in the day we had jobbers like the Mulky Brothers, Barry O, Barry Horawiz, Frankie Williams, Salvatore Bellomo. Who I would liken to the likes of Slater & Santino, Rose and Fandango. Then we had guys like SD Jones, Jim Powers and Paul Roma (before they tried to make him a Horsemen) who I would say were on par with guys like Ryback and Rusev (very generous here) yet in today's wrestling world these are guys who are being put at a higher level of the card than their skill level justifies. Today's roster doesn't really have enough of the upper level Mid-carders/main event guys that the 80's and 90's rosters had.
