Well, I understand the whole thing about Michaels needing knee surgery after Summerslam and HHH getting into the program with Randy Orton, but Vince McMahon needs to wisen up. DX is, was, and always will be a big money maker. So, with that in mind, why not repackage DX with somebody completely new and drop most of the **** references. The parodies and popularity can continue. HBK could be back as one of the mouth pieces of the new group, but give other guys a chance. Carlito would be an obvious choice and can bring Trish into it. If Jeff Hardy gets his act together, they can resign him and get the tag team back with Matt, to give it that NAO feel to the group. The other is a complete mind boggler, but think back to his WCW days. Chavo would be great. When he was feuding with Eddie back in WCW, he played the crazy guy to a T. He can bring the horse back and fun could be had by all.
Now, to compliment that, Vince should also think abouty bringing back another great money maker. Ok, everybody do it with me, hold up 4 fingers on one hand. Yes, thats it, the Horsemen. Flair is set to retire very quickly. He and his best friend Arn Anderson would be great at running the group. But to make this work, they too need to stay young, to be able to keep up and feud with DX. Start out with the obivous choice to fill the Nature Boy role as possibly Edge. He does have a lot going for him and he's still young. Although Matt Striker has been largely under used, you can put him in there as the Enforcer. Shelton Benjamin could be added as the seasoned mat technition like Tully Blanchard was for the group. As for the muscle, well, I think its high time that Lashley made a character change and raise his stock in the company.
I think if you get a young full rebirth of both DX and the Horsemen, there will a sizeable increase in the ratings. Have the two stables feud for a little while, see where that takes teh company.
