There are a number of steps I would take to destroy and disassemble the WWE. Here's how I would do it:
1. Hire Hogan, Flair, and Sting and put them in the main event of Wrestlemania. I would build my biggest PPV of the year around these three guys, with of course a healthy dose of Bischoff thrown in there as well.
2. Push nostalgia to the nth degree. I would go totally away from young, exciting, interesting talent, but instead would rehash 80's and 90's stars.
3. Promise the world, but continuously fail to back it up. On a monthly basis, I would promise an event or an announcement which would change the world of professional wrestling forever, then not only would I not deliver, but I would backtrack from my statements at the last minute. I would promise that they are coming, only to reveal St the last minute that they are already there.
4. I would produce convoluted storylines which rarely make sense, which would of course involve random and idiotic turns from face to heel and back to face again. I would never explain the rationale of it all, I would throw it all out there in a random clusterf**k.
5. I would only hire writers from a decade or more ago, and I would give them free reign to do whatever storylines they wanted.
6. I would only do weekly shows and PPV's in one location, and I would ensure this location was inadequate and full of smarks. Of course most of these shows would be prerecorded and thus subject to constant spoilers.
7. I would assemble an impressive roster of younger talented superstars, then I would force them to languish in the midcard and below. I would put them in meaningless random feuds, choosing to focus instead on nostalgia.
8. The focal point of my company would be guys with significant baggage, the more the better. DWI, drugs, whatever, I would build my company and my main events on them. Then when they are unable to perform, I'd scratch my head and look confused and wing it spontaneously. I would never discipline them for their transgressions, in fact I'd reward them with renewed pushes and new contracts, leapfrogging them over the more loyal and more deserving guys.
9. I'd build a strong CW division, tag team division, and female division, them I'd neglect it and let it all fall apart, again deferring to nostalgia.
This is how I would destroy the WWE. Sounds crazy I know, I cannot imagine anyone actually running a company in this haphazard and disorganized manner. I am sure, though, that even if I did this, ruining the company in the process, I would still have my diehard loyal supporters who would follow my company anyway and try to convince others that my company was doing just great.
