Since Rock and Austin aren't coming back:
1) Bring back Kurt Angle
2) Turn John Cena heel (radical, but it'd work)
3) Scrap the p*ss-poor excuse / shadow of its former self known as "ECW"
4) Either expand DX (as a stable), or scrap them (HHH and HBK are getting old, not just literally)
5) Give Y2J a massive push
6) Disband Legacy, push Ted DiBiase Jnr. as a face
2. Quit acting like Cena's superman, and let Randy kick him in the head and he go away. . . . . forever.
3. whats the point of bringing back Chris Masters when you have no purpose in him at all?
I actually thought he was championship material at one point!
4. Get a f*cking RAW GM, the guest host list is running dry and getting old.
5. Quit being too kid-friendly
6. Make ECW more hardcore.
When talking about why WWE made the switch to PG on MercuryNews.com, Vince McMahon had the following to say: "We just followed our audience and tried to listen to them. It's a more sophisticated product. It's just the right move business-wise, but more specifically the right move in terms of reaching our audience."
Vince was asked about MMA and UFC becoming more popular and said this: "You really can't compete with that. Why not deliver a more sophisticated product and not go to those extremes? If the audience wants those extremes, they know where to go and how to get it."
personally I dont agree with Vince, but what are your thoughts?
Not sure why you can't have the best of both worlds. With so much wrestling on the television these days split up into different brands would it be so hard to turn Raw back into the attitude show and let smackdown go PG or vise versa. Nothing is worse then watching my favorite group, DX, operate like a saturday morning cartoon.
Kids are his main audience at the moment and that is just how its working out, in about 5 years time, and when a suitable leading character emerges, we'll see another more violent era.
I personally found that post attitude the kind of half-arsed lame hardcore style going on became boring so even though this pg era is a bit crappy it will just make the turn more shocking, edgy and exciting.
The attitude era was a live fast die young style so it can't last forever
Are you stating that more kids are fans of and watch WWE programming than adults? Can you please support that claim with an actual link and some data, with some actual numbers while citing percentages of the makeup of the WWE audience with respect to actual key demos?
Everytime I read something from you I laugh. You make up these theories that are usually based on nothing but your own opinion with minimal facts and you are criticizing this guy for the same thing?
Most of your posts are paranoid delusional topics about how Vince is secretly out to get us.
Also, your blatant advertising in your sig is nauseating. I have been watching raw since 96 or so and while it may not be as good as it was, in MY opinion, it blows TNA impact out of the water. Again, only my opinion.
Back on topic, I personally agree with spinningtorturerack. I always said that it seems like the fans of the attitude era have grown up and turned their children and their nephew's onto wrestling, and with some of them growing out of it, it makes sense to target them as an audience.
I don't have numbers to prove this,
But are you really telling me this doesn't make sense?
I mean, it's pretty plain to see Vince is trying to make his business succeed; he's not some insane old man that's trying to bring his own company down like you think.
And whether you like it or not (pg era that is) he is obviously doing well, is he not? Look at his numbers and buyrates. Sure, less than the attitude era but can you not see that there are less wrestling fans than there used to be??? I can.
I grew up a wrestling fan with my friends. About 15 of us. Want to know how many of them are still fans now that we are in our 20's? One. Me. There's your fucking numbers.
This is just a theory though. Much like many of yours. It's just my theory makes sense. It doesn't involve Vince deliberately ignoring fans and trying to bring his own company down.
