Since it's been a few pages. I've still got a better idea.
What if they just take Vince off creative?

Do any UK promotions still use the rounds system? If so, can someone recommend a good recent match under those rules? The only notable example I can think of is ICW's Scottish Rules match, in which the wrestlers have (gimmicked of course) alcohol between each round.

At this point, I'm just here until AEW's TV starts. WWE just isnt compelling right now, and that's on creative (read: Vince.) I'm strongly considering cancelling the Network, but I dont want my interest in wrestling as a whole to stop before I have given the alternative an honest try.

I’m repeating myself, but seeing someone trying to withstand or block the application of a submission hold in the final seconds of a round is very compelling.

That may be, but tweaking the structure of a match to be seen mainly by a North American audience, with little or no understanding of wrestling rules not steeped in the old territorial system or the NWA, seems suspiciously similar to rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic after the lifeboats have started to be launched. This company is determined to do everything it can to stay on top _except_ the one thing that would most likely work. They know where the problem is, but they can do nothing to stop it.

All this talk of rounds and nobody has brought up the AWF.
Could we get the Super Destroyers?

Baron Corbin goes the distance for a decision win with his vicious top control and wins the TNA Grand Championship You joke, but Norman Smiley helped trained Corbin. And who did Norman learned from? Karl Gotch[/I] Huh?! You ready for UWFi Corbin?! King of PANCRASE No Way Jose?! Mojo "f*** Volk Han AND Bas Rutten" Rawley?!

From reddit:
The new format with no action during the commercial breaks kinda sucks. They tried a couple of different things (the iiconics came out to cut a horrible promo on the kabuki warriors, The Revival tried to talk to the crowd and got booed to the point where one of them was saying 'come on guys, can't we talk?', KO tried to cut a promo and got shut down with 'you suck' chants) but it was mostly commercials on the tron, stuff like a clip from some rap battle show, one from late night, a full commercial for 'Fighting with my Family' on DVD, etc etc.
It seriously took the audience right out of the matches, especially when it was in the middle of a match with the competitors standing in a dark ring watching a commercial for next year's Mania.

Wait, they're actually doing a thing where they pause the matches for the live crowd during commercials? They're literally stopping matches and just having nothing happen, so they force the wrestlers to improv promos with no purpose behind them and run video packages? This is 2019 and this happening in professional wrestling? Well, the G1 Climax is starting preeeeeeetty soon, guaranteed good way to pass the summer in terms of pro graps. Rounds system? Is WWE going to steal the Grand Dad championship from Impact? Wait a minute, Grand Dad Championship? IT'S GENIUS! Matches made up of three five-minute rounds, where everyone enters to this theme, new boom period:

For the first time in my life I'm really bummed out that TJ Perkins isn't around so that a match could have come to a dead stop while he just yelled HIT THE PAUSE BUTTON MAN

Just have the actual wrestlers do the commercials.
~after vicious powerslam~
Wrestler: "Wow, that hurt a lot, so much I almost crapped my tights...but that won't be a problem for you if you use Depends Undergarments!"

...why are they pausing matches? Shouldn't the solution be to fit matches between commercial breaks?

I wonder if this thing could work if they like committed to it instead of awkwardly writing like "UH OH BARON CORBIN FORGOT TO BUFF HIS BALD HEAD THIS MATCH WILL BE RESTARTED!!" 12 times. Like go full TNA 05 with time limits and stuff. I don't know if it'd work but trying for a more sporty vibe might be interesting.
