Braun shouldn’t be on tv every week, he’s the guy who turns up, smashes people and you don’t see him for a few weeks on tv. Instead you get 10-15 mins weekly and start to get too familiar with what makes him unique and he’s just Braun. This is the contradiction with how WWE book things now and really have done for the past 23 years. They got into the habit of having everyone of importance on the roster on every single show and as time has gone on this has changed from possibly being a few weeks between TV matches to the same top stars being in a match each week. I understand this originally started with the fact WWF in 1998 once they'd lost Bret and Shawn had a much smaller roster of stars and there was a need to stack the decks against Nitro but that's not been the case for almost 2 decades now. Even when it first started there would be weeks when we only saw Austin or Rock in the last 5 minutes of the show when they ran in. They really need to find ways to regularly talk about and feature their stars in shorter and less regular ways on TV. Interviews, angles or even announcers breaking down previous events like analysts could replace the need for these 15 minute matches or soliloquies. Instead of having someone like Braun, Roman or another over exposed "main eventer" on TV every week have them appease the fans by doing a dark match or smashing the shit out of some jobber for Main Event. If you've got a lagging crowd then send them out during a commercial break for a 60 second highlight match to pick them up./ As was said on here a few weeks ago WWE want to produce their TV show like a TV show with an audience and not a live event being recorded for TV, many TV shows don't feature every character each episode especially soaps or some characters get 1 minute on a Monday but maybe Friday they get 10 minutes. Like a broken record it really is about the volume of programming they produce especially Raw at 3 hours but we've covered that many times.

The whole thing's a bit of a vicious circle. - The top stars don't feel special if they're on every show. - So have them appear less. - But if the top stars don't appear, people might not watch. - Then again, the ratings are down so people might not watch anyway. - But if the top stars aren't on every show, why would people watch. - So we need more top stars. - But nobody else feels special because they're on every show. And so on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cutting Edge Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 NXT have done a decent-ish job rotating talent, Guys like Balor, Ciampa , UE haven't been on t.v every week but you do get the advertised for next week deal. Watching old Raws and Nitros you get top guys for 5mins doing a quick run in/promo/brawl and that's it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just don't see any of the regular, meat-and-potatoes roster in that role. It helps when the special attraction knows their worth and doesn’t take any of Vince’s shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of why they book him a certain way, it's clear that they're capable of doing it when their hand is forced. The Undertaker, Triple H or Brock Lesnar rarely feel like just one of the crowd. There are midcard guys who might go months without TV, then when they pop up they do nothing with them, so it's obviously more than just rarity of appearances that makes guys like Lesnar feel special - WWE book them to feel special too.

CavemanLynn Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 They should just set up all the camera feeds and let the streamers switch between them as they wish. Take Dunn out of the equation entirely except for the TV feed. Then all they need to do is give all their talent earpieces and HUDs, following orders live from Master System controllers in the agents' hands to shit on the last of the talent's value.
