But, honestly, a two-month break after Mania would be a great way to cut down on injuries and creative burn-out, and they can also regroup after their big show and get plans together for the entire roster. Have a "season premiere" in June and they can run the annual "big summer program" into Summerslam with a healthy roster and a well-planned story arc.

I'm not sure if the WWE needs to have an "off-season," but I like the idea of guys being given time off more regularly to rest their nagging injuries, and to prolong the shelf-life of their characters.
Mark Henry's "Hall of Pain" storyline last year gave Big Show and Kane time off, for example, and currently Jack Swagger has been removed from television in storylines. I think these are good moves. If Big Show beats Sheamus at Survivor Series, I don't see why they can't have Sheamus "sell" the loss and disappear until around Royal Rumble time.
Also, NXT is a fantastically booked show. Was just thinking earlier how much better booked Big E. Langston is compared to Ryback. Seth Rollins actually wrestling has been made a big deal since he's not always featured on every show.
