#3 Making 'extreme’ events feel extreme
As we head into the Extreme Rules pay-per-view, we learned that Alexa Bliss and Bayley will compete in a kendo-stick-on-a-pole match. We are rolling our eyes in unison here at Sportskeeda Wrestling. The issue with calling a WWE pay-per-view ‘Extreme Rules’, or ‘TLC’, is that these matches seem like a watered-down version of the ECW content fans know and love immensely.
Fans can avail superior content from Paul Heyman and gang, on the same WWE Network, if they sign up to watch Extreme Rules or any of the other ‘extreme’ pay-per-views.
If WWE incorporates some of the craziness, chaos, and destruction that fans were so invested in, back in the heydey of ECW (even small components like 'brawling in the crowd' or realistic looking weapon shots, usage of brass knuckles after years for example and a few other obscure weapons), the product would be significantly superior to everyone involved.
