WWE Thoughts and Concerns Leading into the Fall Season

This is just going to be a few random thoughts heading into the next Pay-Per-View and how WWE needs to keep up the momentum they have right now all the way through winter.

When CM Punk is talking about worrying about the business surviving in 30 years, it is times like these, WWE needs to be very careful in their decision making.

1. WWE needs to perform well in each segment on Raw. I am not going to sit here and "fantasy book", but make every interview/match mean something.

The breakdown from the Raw ratings the few weeks have shown tons of holes in them. One being the audience tuning out during the mid card, and barely sticking around for the women.

As noted above, the main stories in WWE are going great, but now is not the time for random squashes and wasted promo segments.

Again—every segment needs to mean something, good or bad.

2. WWE needs to announce Pay-Per-View matches in advance. They can't go the "UFC route" and make two top matches, then fill out the rest of the card with a few days remaining.

It doesn't work, and WWE needs to make matches with a few weeks to build them up. I do not care if the matches are ones I want or not. Just announce them and give me a story to invest into...

Starting tonight, I want to see three or four matches made for the September Pay-Per-View. With Night of Champions featuring all the titles being defended, WWE should start setting that up...

3. I know I harp on this a lot, but Monday Night Football is coming up soon. Real games. Regular season games. No more preseason "exhibition" games.

Real competition is coming, and it would be in WWE's best interests to have a major "cliffhanger" every week for its audience to tune in the following week.

They are doing that now, but I fear it will stop, once football starts up next month. Again, WWE needs to deliver every week on Mondays.

4. This is another rant on Mark Henry. Give the man his due. I pump out article after article (and it is not going to change) on this man, and I still can't "feel the love" for Mark.

The man is performing better than he has in his 15-year career, and some just can't see how much better he is now than he was when he debuted.

The man is finally living up to his potential, and I am not going to stop pushing this man, until he gets the respect he deserves.

Is he Stone Cold? No.

Is he Undertaker? No.

Is he Edge? No.

Is he Cena? No.

Is he anything close to those guys? No!

I'm not saying he is. All I am saying is give the man his "props" and be happy for his success the past few months. He deserves it. 

How many people can you name that have been employed for 15 straight years by WWE? On top of that, featured on TV for 15 straight years? Go ahead, give me the list!
