6: “The Pay-per-view card should be booked like this”
We all have fantasy match cards that we throw in whenever a discussion comes out. And the fun part is: our card will probably be light years away from what WWE has put together. Have you ever wondered why?
Why doesn’t WWE pack their show with excellent matches throughout rather than what they do now? Well, it’s the show pacing that comes to play in such situations. Imagine that we have a stacked card with matches such as Finn Balor vs. Seth Rollins, Charlotte vs. Sasha Banks and some other interesting matches in the undercard and then Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels headlining. The undercard is so good that we are bound to burn out our energy cheering for it and die out when Michaels and Taker come for the main event.
WWE, with years of experience in the business, know how this works and book the card accordingly so that the matches that need attention get the attention.
