WWE B-Pay Per Views Expanding to Four Hours

Have you had enough? WWE puts out a lot of content. Like, A LOT of content. At the moment, WWE puts out eight hours of original content a week, not counting pay per views. When it’s a big time pay per view, that expands all the way to eight or more. Now though, it’s going to be even longer.

According to the “Wrestling Observer Newsletter” by way of 411mania.com, the WWE will be expanding their B show pay per views to four hours with a one hour Kickoff Show starting with May’s “Backlash 2018”. The change is coming due to low ticket sales, which have plagued some of the lower level shows.

Here’s what the most recent Backlash was like:

Opinion: The words “enough is enough” don’t mean much to WWE. If the idea here is that fans aren’t going to the shows in the first place, wouldn’t it make more sense to change what you’re offering and not more of the same stuff that’s been there? This doesn’t help anything if it’s more of the same stuff that fans weren’t interested in already. I get the idea here but I don’t think it’s the right way to go about fixing things.

Do you like the idea of expanded pay per views? Should they all be longer? Let us know in the comments below.
