The problem I have is not the commercials themselves, but what the commercials replaced: the video packages. WWE's video packages are always top notch, and since I paid for the ad free tier of Peacock, instead of commercials, I'd see a video package for every match, that kept me super invested in the show and got me excited for each match. It was also great for casual fans who could get a recap of the story before the match.ESPN doesn't have an ad free tier so you get the commercials, and usually the only match that gets a video package is the main event. I do think it breaks up the flow of the show, and it feels like something is missing without these great videos. I wish ESPN would take this criticism because, while I think some of the criticism WWE gets is not coming from a good faith place, I do think there are too many commercials, and the show suffers for losing the video packages.
When's the last time WWE produced a legitimately good video package?Wrestlemania 30?
