WWE needs to cut down on the Shane McMahon promos

Shane McMahon’s current heel run is nowhere near deserving of the amount of time it receives on WWE TV each week on Raw and SmackDown.

It’s funny to think that it’s 2019, and WWE is continuing to push Shane McMahon like a top heel.

No, not funny in a humorous way, more like in a strange and awkward sort of way.

We’re in a point in time where there’s tremendous heels on the roster like Daniel Bryan and Kevin Owens, but Shane McMahon of all people is the one WWE chooses to build into their biggest villain.

Fine, if that’s what WWE thinks is best, then so be it. They can push Shane McMahon to the moon if they want. Who knows, maybe this will all eventually turn into a brilliant storyline that takes us back to the days of Steve Austin hitting his boss with a bedpan.

Even if it is someday destined to become that kind of iconic story somehow, there’s still something WWE needs to get straight with Shane McMahon’s recent run in the meantime.

WWE has to significantly cut down his promo time.

Every episode of WWE programming seems to have the same Shane McMahon segment. I don’t know how many times I’ve been forced to see him work this “best in the world” gimmick into the ground by now.

I know that its all part of the shtick. I get that his character is suppose to be grating, but its seriously clogging up the TV.

Spending multiple drawn out segments every week to drive home that someone is arrogant and obnoxious isn’t needed, especially when that time could be spent so much better.

There’s a litany of superstars right now who need a rivalry, or just some plain airtime. The list of high-level talent that hasn’t been seen on weekly TV these past few weeks is staggering. Asuka, Rusev, Shinsuke Nakamura, Viking Raiders, and Liv Morgan highlight a list that goes on and on.

Now, that’s not to say you should pin the blame for those superstars lack of TV time all on Shane McMahon’s push, but it has to be seen as a contributing factor at this point.

The fact that WWE has felt the need to run his storyline across both shows has meant that a tremendous amount of time has been tied up in just watching Shane O’Mac be a fairly standard heel.

In other words, maybe this run with Shane McMahon will eventually be remembered for years to come for it’s greatness, but it simply is not anywhere near that level yet. As such, there’s no reason, at least that I can see, why WWE needs to waste that much time on Shane McMahon’s segments.
