3 (WWE) Wishes for 2015

[brink04]

1. This is a two-parter
a) Get rid of TLC, Hell In A Cell, and Money In The Bank as pay-per-views - I agree with someone above who said that they should be special attractions based on a feud. This way, other PPVs can feature these big attractions and the PPV slots that are replaced can have a better variety of matches (or just a less gimmicky atmosphere).
b) Bring back King of the Ring in June, but don't reward the winner with a silly gimmick of a crown, staff, and cape, but with a World Title shot at Summerslam. The Royal Rumble Winner gets a shot at Wrestlemania, the MITB gets a year, why not give another opportunity to build another credible superstar and a watchable feud over the summer.

2. Keep valet level Divas as valets. Once they've built enough skills at NXT, then let them get in the ring. Just because there's a battle royal, doesn't mean we need all 25 employed Divas. They make it sloppy. Just because they're on Total Divas, doesn't mean we can stomach seeing them in the ring at a lower caliber. I know they work hard and it's demanding, but there should be better supervision of wrestling capability in relation to TV time. Cameron, Eva Marie, Summer Rae, Emma, Rosa Mendes rarely hold a competent match. Rosa, in my opinion, has no business being there. Apart from allegedly dating MICHAEL HAYES for a stint and now on Total Divas, I can't think of reasons she has the gig still. There are plenty who aren't that good (Bellas, Naomi, Alicia, Tamina) but still can string moves together for a 3 minute TV spot. It seems Natalya is underutilized, Layla is nearly invisible (maybe WWE is agist?), and AJ Lee/Paige are the only two considered 'good' they want to use consistently on RAW at least. A way to build the strength of matches would be to USE the divas with the most ability and give them proper length matches. Is 7+ minutes on each show truly too much to give to Divas? There are nearly 10 Divas who can be utilized, but for some reason there is far too little time and it's often given to women who can't handle it yet, while a handful just hope a Battle Royal or costume contest come around soon.

3. Instead of sub-par segments and time fillers (recaps, commentary opinions, contests, guest hosts), fill them with matches. I don't say abolish them, but cut them back. Our of a 3 hour show, often only 1 hour is in ring action. Instead of awkward, poorly acted trash talk to get me interested in a feud, why not showcase skills of superstars/Divas who haven't been seen lately. Maybe a new babyface/heel could be built if they had TV exposure, which could encourage merch sales, future TV ratings, and social media followings for those wrestlers.

1. Orton.Kane.Big Show.finally go away.

Some good wishes! In terms of your first one I've gotta be honest and say I want Orton to stick around a while longer even near the top of the card, and wouldn't mind Big Show and Kane staying either as long as they're in lesser roles such as managers or enforces (if they stay out of match involvement actually). Thanks for getting involved!

1. Ambrose wins this year's MITB Briefcase. It seems like Ambrose is an afterthought, not getting closure with Rollins, taking the backseat to Reigns since his return. Ambrose is the total package - he can wrestle, talk on the mic, and connect to the audience. However, with Reigns, Bryan, Rollins in the title picture, a MITB Briefcase win can change that.

2. Cesaro and Kidd wins the tag team titles.

3. Unify the IC and US titles. WWE can't seem to book the two mid card titles consistently.

I like all three of your wishes. I also think Ambrose may need to win the briefcase, given that it's not just Reigns he's taking a backseat to, but he also has competition from Ziggler, Ryback, Bryan and Orton when he returns. In my eyes he needs to redeem himself because after the Wyatt/Ambrose feud I feel less people are invested in him. Cesaro and Kidd seem to be going in the right direction which is good to see as we need more in the tag team division, and a stint with the title is likely in my opinion. I'm all for your third wish, but the only problem I could see with it is that you could only build two major feuds around the titles, and considering the lack of really good and consistent storylines on the card even with the Authority, I can see that being an issue. If not then may your wish come true!

1. Please, dear god, don't ruin The Ascension (is this too late already? )

2. Shield temporary reunion to fight a common enemy. This should lead to a 3 way fued for the Heavyweight Title.

I don't think it is too late for the Ascension. Their debut was awkward because everyone knew they would be Miz/Mizdows opponents so it didn't have the surprise factor. Hopefully they do well! I feel number 2 will definitely happen at some point, but if you want it in 2015 then who am I to judge your wish? Your third wish seems to be coming true (other than Total Divas..) judging by Nikki vs Paige, hopefully it's a trend that continues!

I have 5 actually,

1- New Commentary Team, without Vince in their ears.
2- Before Every PPV show a NXT match, that way when the NXT stars come up, we get some sort of a crowd reaction.
3- Let Jim Johnston go back to writing the Theme music. CFO$ is okay, but Jim is better.
4- If a guy GETS OVER on their own, push that guy. I know your afraid that if someone does something on their own, they will leave. Quiet the opposite, guys will stay because you believe in them.
5- Stop pushing people down our throats, if we dont like someone, guess what, we will boo the hell out of them.

Hold on a second this is three wishes :') Anyways I'm a big fan of number 4 & 5, because you know #ZigglerWorldChamp2015.. so I'll skip over them. Your third one is an interesting one, I agree that Jim is better but I never really dwelled on it that much. On the whole most guys on the roster deserve a better theme. The new commentary team is one that many want, although I have to confess that I find them such an amazing comedy act ('Barrett uses The Winds of Change!!' ~ Cole when Barrett uses The Wasteland, for example) The second wish is another good one, although I wouldn't mind a WEELC rematch at some point, maybe Night of Champions for the WEEChampionship..

Now I'm gonna count these as 4 wishes.. but I like all of them so I'll put in a request that the WWE Genie will grant all of them. I especially like your idea of part b) with the King of the Ring in June, in terms of without the silly gimmick but gaining a title shot. In fact I am a big fan of tournaments to determine a number one contender as it shows you have various guys ready for that spot and the eventual winner seemingly deserve it to casual fans. Great wishes!
