Tessa Blanchard faced her toughest challenge yet on Impact Wrestling
#2 Worst: Way too long a recap, too many commercial breaks

Watching Impact Wrestling live can be a chore
When an audience tunes in to watch your product, they want to check out the latest happenings. I doubt that there's an audience out there for the flashbacks. It is just an annoying distraction during the show which can take the audience out of things.

I have an even bigger issue with the number of commercial breaks during the show, which is just staggeringly high I feel. You come back from commercial, watch entrances and then go into a commercial break again, after sitting through a flashback. This happens on RAW and SmackDown Live all the time as well.
Is it any wonder that people just like to watch their wrestling on demand these days? With the streaming options available to us all, I wonder if these decisions are driving the live crowd away.
