WWE killing gimmick matches

By Scott Keith on 16 July 2019

What do you think about this recent practice of the WWE making almost every match a 2 out of 3 falls match, or an elimination match? Not only do I think it's poorly done with falls coming coming at an unnatural time than they would in a normal match, but it appears to be an overreaction to complaints about commercial breaks in the middle of matches, as they "restart" the match after the break when one of the falls/eliminations occurs. I still don't understand why they can't have matches that are less than 10 minutes long without a commercial break in between? They actually did this not that long ago, so I can't see why they can't do it now.

I'm sure if I watched RAW or Smackdown I'd be really annoyed by it, but….*shrug*.
