I've been watching a lot of Japanese wrestling lately and it had me thinking. I don't know how many of you people are familiar with Puro, but one of the things they regularly do is put guys feuding in tag matches as opposed to singles. Now this does a few things. First off, it saves the "money" match for later down the road and plus it gives the wrestlers a chance to get in their with each other before the singles. Also, it allows the wrestlers to create more psycholgy based matches and allows heat to grow for the singles matches as well. Another plus is that you send the fans home happy as even thought they didn't see the "money" match.....they still got to see a variation of it and then it satisfies the urge of why the came in the first place. Now, since the WWE is basically running out of matches to do with their main eventers I thought this may be a good thing for them to try. Now, I know they already kind of do it on TV. But I'm talking about PPV matches here as well. I was thinking if they gave them enough time in the main and midcard to do this.....it may go over really well and treat the fans to some pretty kick ass matches in the process. This as well keeps matchups fresh while still delivering good contests. What do you guys think?
I think they need to get more in the habit of not defending the top titles very often. I think PPV buys would go up if you got that very rare World Title match. I think squash matches need to come back to so even mid-carders rarely lose on tv.
I think TNA has the right idea with the way they use Impact right now.
I don't like the idea, simply because we already see the same guys in matches together over and over and over. WWE needs a much bigger roster. Maybe a smaller full time roster, but then a huge list of guys they use here and there. It would sort of be like the old territory system, where a guy who gets overexposed doesn't get on TV for a few months. Right now, WWE's entire roster is overexposed.
