Here the scenario, You just became a billionnaire and Vince Mcmahon is looking to get rid of the WWE. You make him a offer and he accept it and you're now the new CEO of WWE. So now what do you do with the company.
Here what i would do.
1. i would look at the full roster to see who's do i need and who is just a waste of money at this point and i would do a major spring cleaning of the talent roster. Right now the talent roster on all 3 major brand are way to bloated and you can easily get rid of at less 1/3 of the talents off those rosters
2. i would look at the financial reports to see who in the company works and who doesn't, the more money you make for the company the more you're chance of getting a push.
3. i would go back to the way of booking that they use in the 80's where you had you're top feud, then you're title feud and whoever was on the card and wasn't part of any feud would be just a throwaway match. You don't need to have feud for everybody on the roster. it makes the main matches feel less important.
4. Bring back the time limits for the matches, i feel like since the time limit as been taken away, it took some of the intrigue out of the matches. I want the matches to feel like a reel athletic competition again and in real competition they have time limits.
5. Get rid of the Hollywood writers. The worst thing that Happened to WWE was when Russo convince Vince that he needed writers to make his show better. Ever since they been using Hollywood Writers and it hurt the product as a whole. I would go back to the way they use to be. Have a couple of agents on both rosters to go through the matches with the talent, Have a main booker for both show who oversee everything and on weekends all theses guys meet up with me and we go through the next week t.v.
6. I would do some minor change to NXT, especially in the way they train. First i would stop touring with the brand as it cost a lot of money and doesn't bring enough of it to make a profit. So instead of touring all around the world with the brand, i would have them just do small shows around orlando. I would make sure that they're a less one class were you learn how to improv during a promo. If you want talent to go out and cut a promo that'S personal to them then you need to stop teaching them how to remember lines and just have them go out and cut a personal promo. Practice make perfect. When they get call up, i would make sure to have vignette ready for them so that i could introduce them to the main roster audience. It's one thing to be over with the Smart crowd, it's another to be over with a WWE crowd.
7. The content of Raw and Smackdown. Raw as Three hours every monday night. So why now use the hold jobber matches to fill part of the show. i'm not saying having like a whole hour of thoses but maybe 4 or 5 jobber matches sprinkle in would certainly help the product. Same goes for Smackdown. Have 1 or 2 jobber matches every week to not overexpose everybody.
As for main event and 205 live. I would continue those program. Main event would have 4 matches instead of the 2 matches they have now. it would be 2 from raw and 2 from smackdown. As for 205 Live, the only thing i would change would be is placement in the lineup, instead of having it after smackdown i would tape it before smackdown and air it on tape delay like Impact use to do. That way you would get a better reaction from the crowd since they would have seen the big stars yet and the presentation would look better on the network.
8. This would be a harder change because of all the harm they did with the network with PPV but i would have the big four PPV taken off the network and put them back as PPV only broadcast. They would eventually go on the network maybe a month after they aired live but if you want to see them Live, you would have to pay to see them. As for the rest of the events, i would leave them streaming live on the network but i would cut the time back to 3 hour events so that they don'T make the big four look like just another events. As for the big four, they would have a run time of 4 hours to 4 and a half hour max and would be price at 50$ each except for mania which would be 70$ but would last 5 hour max.
Anyway, That's what i would do if i own WWE.
