Actually, they kind of do that in the first place. Or used to. You'd have a TV show in one city, and a house show like 30 minutes away, tops.
Cutting back on the frequency and distance of travel would be easy, but it would likely cut down on profits.
Fewer PPVs would also solve a lot of TV problems. I mean, it can't STOP the bad writing, but Say, for example, there were only four PPVs since Bats came back, him as #1 contender would be less painful than his fifteen shots. Cena dominating, too. In fact, regardless of who's on top, I think a title match 18 times a year is going to make the PPV title match seems less valuable. It will help solve the issue of contenders, too. If you do a different contender each month, you need like, ten main eventers or so who can reasonably chase the title for a month. If you do the same contender, you only need one, but it looks like ass.
If you mix and match, it mitigates the damage. But if you reduce the numbers, it helps a lot more. For everything except buyrates (15 low buyrates a year will trump 4-6 AMAZING nights a year), profits (Short term), and attendances (again, short term).
Apparently, WWE's already starting to drain the overseas market, which should be a sign that they should back off before the well runs low, but instead, they'll probably make like a junky and look for other locales to "inject" themselves.
