I'm not saying WWE need to go back to the Attitude Era days of every TV match being wrapped up within 3 minutes, but they should find a happy medium between than and having longass matches that don't really advance the story.

NJPW do that really well with all the tag matches they run on their undercard. It gives the fans the chance to see everyone and they find a way to advance the stories during those matches without anyone needing to kill themselves. Imagine how many of the 40+ year old wrestlers on the NJPW roster would have to be retired by now if they needed to work WWE style matches every night no matter what.

By extension it also makes the singles matches feel like a big deal. PPVs just feel like another Raw or SD because watching people wrestle 1 on 1 in a long form match is something that happens each and every show.
