    Too many commercials during matches? Quit complaining!

    Thursday, December 4, 2008, 04:47 PM EST [General]

    I know some viewers that watch RAW, Smackdown! & ECW hate to see a match be interruptted by commercial breaks.  Of course Pay-Per-Views don't air commercials because the viewers are paying for the show and some of that money goes to the WWE and its wrestlers because that's where their money is coming from.

    Yes folks, it's all about the money that that's how they do it.  Commercial breaks are important to pay off the bills and TV rights.  And of course, WWE makes sure they don't stop the match during the break...unless the TV crew edits out the fall and airs it via tape.

    The only way for commericals to be cut back are the following:

    WWE can double the ticket prices for the events in 2009, or increase the prices of WWE merchandise.  They can accept a check for $500,000 to drop three minutes of commercials, or WWE can create a new pay channel where the shows can be aired with no interruptions.

    So take your pick.  You watch these shows and sponsors worked out on paying money to WWE to promote themselves.  After all, it's all about the money.
