It needs to step back in time, not forward in time, to learn from the past.

To me Triple H isn't talking about going back in time to hour long matches with no story and trying to sell the whole thing as being real fights, etc etc. What I think he is talking about is having people improve their ability to tell story in the ring with their wrestling manuvers. For example...

Aj Styles, the guy is an absolute phenom in the ring and his talent and athletic ability is second to none. He has had absolutly amazing matches with the likes of Christopher Daniels, Samoa Joe, Kurt Angle, etc etc. Yes I don't think there is a single match he has had that you can compare to HBK vs Flair at Wrestlemania. Was Flair vs HBK an amazing technical or athletic phenomenon of a match? Hell no it had a 70+ year old wrestler and a guy who hit his prime in the early 90s and came back from back surgery neither of which have AJ's athletic ability. So what made it better then pretty much every match AJ has ever had in his career? It sold an amazing story of Flair's retirement from how much the company meant to him, to how much Flair meant to HBK, to how difficult it was for HBK and yet how much it seemed Flair wanted it to end.

There is a place for great athletic matches but those matches can and always will take a back set to a match that sells a story and gets the audience emotionally invested in it. That is what Triple H wants modern day wrestlers to learn from.

I say WWE could start using some of their Video Library, to help wrestlers develop mic skills, persona, and wrestling ability.

People's styles are only as good as the mission they are trying to accomplish. It's one thing to establish character. It's another to create a ring-style. While I think the current roster has some really good movesets, they can as other people noted, go back to the video vaults and study on how to invest the audience into their match. It would help the company tremendously.

I would agree as at times the storyline is a little stale. I know retreds get old but sometimes they work. Moving Randy Orton to heel has to be epic. So I say do this....
Instead of having CM Punk challenge the Undertaker at Wrestlemania have Orton do it. Saying unlike HBK and HHH he will not let his 2nd opportunity be wasted and he will end the streak. Then after Taker pulls off the win have Orton kick Taker in the nuts. Then give him an RKO and punt him. The next night on Raw have him come out and say that his "do the right thing" ways are over and the "Legend Killer is back!!) Then have him challenge for the World Heavyweight Title at Extreme Rules (against Ziggler after he cashes in at Mania). Have Ziggler about ready to retain and then Flair runs out and distracts the ref. Orton gets the upperhand and wins the strap. Then Dibiase, J. Hennig (McGillicuty), and Miz join Orton in the ring to announce the re-formation of the Horseman. Then you can have this faction dominate Smackdown in 2013. Orton could feud with Sheamus, Ryback, etc... over the Title.

And for CM Punk's potential face turn instead of having HHH challenge Lesnar at Mania have CM Punk fight him with the winner challenging for the WWE Title at Extreme Rules. The match goes back and forth until Heyman interferes for Lesnar setting up Lesnar vs. Cena at Extreme Rules.

Just some ideas that could keep the storyline fresh. I would also have Daniel Bryan feud with Barrett over the I-C title to rekindle their old nexus feud. These 2 could work a pretty solid program for a few months.
