The issue isn't wrestling vs non-wrestling on their shows. It's what they do with the non-wrestling. They seem to have this notion that they can do comedy, which they can't. Maybe 1 in 30 of their segments is remotely entertaining. It's sad they spent a half hour during WM on these and had to rush the Main Event because of it. Because Pee-Wee Herman and Horswaggle rapping were much more important than a better finish to Miz-Cena.
I'd rather see them build up storylines and rivalries better. The entertainment aspect is fine, but I need to be interested in it. I need to want to see how a match turns out. Need to care about whether a character wins or loses. There is rarely any hype to their matches. Half the PPV card is thrown together the week of the event.
And with that comes better direction. Why put the guys from Nexus in the biggest feud of the year last year if they were just going to end up being jobbers? Why build Sheamus up for a year only to turn him into a mid-carder? There just doesn't seem to be a lot of long-term thinking with the company outside of "Cena wins LOL". It feels like they're writing a story and letting someone new write each chapter withouth reading the previous ones.
