Suggestions to improve Raw and Smackdown

After watching Raw the past few weeks...all I could think of is "when are they going to give up on this guest host gig?". As the ratings has proven the last 2-3 weeks, people are getting tired of it. The same thing over and over again. Guest host comes out. Jerishow or Orton comes out, talks shit to them and then "Break it down" out comes DX for the save if you will. Every week it's the same damn thing. Change it up or get rid of this guest host gig....and quick. As for Smackdown, I watch this more than Raw, for the simple fact it's more wrestling and less talking. To make smackdown a better show, they need to shuffle some talent around. Bring over the Miz. Bring over Christian. Bring over Chavo. Keep Morrison. Keep Ziggler. Keep Cm Pumk. As a matter of fact, after watching ECW this week, they should consider making CM Punk and Regal a tag team. Give Smackdown their own tag team titles back and give Raw it's own tag team titiles. change up some story lines. I like where they are going with Kington and Orton. Kudos to WWE for that. And before I go...did anyone else wonder what the fuck happen to The Legacy when Orton was getting his ass kick this past week?. Is this a sign of things to come?. I hope so. Your thoughts...
 
As much as some like to think otherwise, I think that the WWE is starting to realize (perhaps because of the past two week's ratings) that they do need to change things up a bit. And if you watched Raw this week, they did do that quite a bit. There wasn't the typical "host comes out Jerishow comes out DX saves" opening. Instead we got a match between Miz and Bourne. I, personally, though that, despite the lack of wrestling, that last Monday's Raw was one of the best of the year. The Kofi/Orton segment alone was worth the watch. Not to mention, an excellent, albeit somewhat short main event between the participants in the two triple threats. And as for the whole "where was legacy" scenario. Who cares!!! Perhaps they left early. Perhaps they met up with a couple divas backstage, IT DOESN'T MATTER!!! Because that segment between Orton and Kofi had to be between Orton and Kofi and no one else. Where was team Kofi? Where was the rest of team Orton? They were in the back watching an amazing brawl between Orton (a main eventer who can actually put his ego aside) and Kofi who, in my opinion, is going to be THEE guy on Raw, sooner rather than later. Enough with the pointless critcisms. Take it out on Hornswoggle. As for ECW, I don't think there is much wrong. It's the breeding ground. They're developing young superstars, which at times, sparks my curiousity and make me watch (Lance Hoyt's has looked great thus far). But I do think they should bring back either the Hardcore (PG-13 sorry) or the Cruiserweight, or even the TV title just to add a bit more prestige to the brand. And as for Smackdown, keep it up. And put the belt back on Punk!!!
 
If Im honest I don't see the guest host thing letting up until after wrestlemania. That seems to be the "new year" kinda moment when new and exciting things happen:- Drafts, brock lesnar, Goldberg, 2 man power trip. All those things began the night after wrestlemania so thats when we will see the end of that I predict.

Also I am loving ECW but I would like to see more, maybe developing deeper storylines and actually getting some PPV time!
 
AMH you said that I make pointless Critcisms about a brand that is not broken. I would beg the differ. I agree, this week Raw was a little different. But just like the past has proven, any time WWE moves in a right direction with something, the following week they be right back where they started. I know this and you know this. Next, you said I should leave ECW alone...maybe not in those words but I could read in-between the lines. I never said anything about ECW. I agree with you 100% about ECW. I actually feel the same way. I'm talking about what needs to be fix with WWE money shows which are Raw and Smackdown. And as much as I hate Hornswoggle...I find that if he is used properly in a non-wrestling related way, he could stay with a job and stay entertaining.
 
3 things that I saw in the opening post that I disagree with....

1. WWE does not need to bring back two sets of Tag Titles. They did that once and we all know how that eventually turned out. WWE simply does not have enough tag teams. I like the Unified Tag Belts. I like how there is just ONE set of Tag Champs. That's all The E needs.

2. You mentioned bringing Christian to SD. Personally, I don't want to see that...yet. I feel that if Christian goes to SD, especially when Edge comes back he'll team with Edge in an E&C Reunion. Then after that Christian will basically be in the shadow of Edge. Then soon after that Christian will basically be a midcarder fighting for the IC Belt and nothing more. Basically it'll be 2000-2005 all over again. I like Christian on ECW right now. He's the champion of the brand. It may be the third brand but he's still the man on that show.

3. ECW does not need to be PG-13 or Rated R or Rated X for that matter. ECW, IMO, is one of the best wrestling shows on TV...not just counting WWE. It pains me how so many look at ECW from 90s and only think of blood and violence...when ECW would put on some damn good matches. And the WWE does not need to bring back the Cruiserweight or TV title. The last thing McMahon needs to do, is bring back ANOTHER championship.
 
After giving some thought ... I am going to send this thread to the Wrestling Spam section where everyone can do what they would like, and the thread can be salvaged.

The reason behind it is that it is entirely too generalized to the entire company for the Main Non-Spam section.

We've had threads for suggestions to improvements for Raw in the Raw section, Smackdown in the Smackdown section, and so forth. But if we are going to criticize the WWE product, what I would like to see done is to create a thread on a single facet and talk specifically about what you would do to improve that facet.

For example:

The Divas Division
The Entrances
The Character Development
The Match Quality
The Commentating

Etc.

Let's not create these general threads for anything and everything.
