Internal friction among Vince and his producers, WWE TV shows facing cancellations?
It seems all is not well in Vince McMahon’s paradise apparent from the reports that there is still a significant friction between Vince McMahon and the WWE producers as they are the ones getting blamed for guys like Big Show, Sheamus, Kane and even Randy Orton not getting over as they should or as they are expected to.
For shows WWE puts on once a week, camaraderie must be maintained. It’s extremely difficult to do, but the WWE has a plethora of stars they need to cater to every day. Guys like the Big Show, Sheamus, Kane and Randy Orton are getting lost in the shuffle to guys like Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns.
It’s not like the WWE forgot about them, but with a single main event championship belt, there’s less to fight for. Perhaps with a brand split will do them a world of good and WWE stars can get back into the mold with one key feud. The producers also feel fans are tired of seeing the same characters, especially the ones that are seen as “past their prime.”
USA Network, on the other hand, is very disappointed with the ratings for this season of Tough Enough and there are already rumblings that the show won’t have a next season under their banner unless there’s a big turnaround.
Apparently, WWE is planning on doing a new season even if USA doesn’t renew as production costs are low and they can air it on the WWE Network. Total Divas isn’t succeeding like the E! Network wants it to either, as this season (season 4) may be its last. WWE wants it to go into a fifth season, but that is unlikely at this point.
