Take much of the unused undercard talent, and build a tag team division (Imagine Evan Bourne and Yoshi Tatsu as a team).

Gut the divas roster, and retire the Diva belt and bring back the womens belt.The I'd bring back Serna Deeb, sign Nicole Matthews, Ariel, and a few more to fill out the roster.

Give David Otunga his notice. Sign Ace Steel and Colt Cobana, team them with CM Punk, and bring back the second City Saints.

Limited (very limited) time spent on backstage skits and in ring promos. More matches.

And put wrestling back on the wrestling shows!
 
1. Stories & Promos

Every simple get rid of the hollywood writers and bring in proper writers that know something about a good wrestling storyline. And yes I know it's not called wrestling but I don't care to me it's still wrestling, what are they going to call it dancing with the stars in a four squared. And get rid of the crappy PG ratings and make it TV14 again

2. Cruiserweight title

Yes we should bring back the Cruiserweight title theres a lot of good high flyers in the WWE 2day ( Evan Bourne, Sin Cara, Kofi Kingston etc) it would be good if that title came back it would give some of the other wrestlers that don't have any storylines going on for them at the moment to give them something to do.

3. PPV's

WWE needs to get rid of at least 3 or 4 PPV's and not have a PPV every 3 weeks it just makes the storylines that they come up with look weak and pointless if they only have it going for like 3 weeks. Build on a storyline for at least 6 weeks then have a PPV. And get rid of some of the gimmick PPV's ( Hell in a Cell, TLC, Money in the Bank) these PPV matches have lost there creditability and excitment now.

4. Tag Teams

In my opinion I would bring back Haas & Benjamin they where a every good Tag Team. The WWE needs to create a Tag Team that makes sense and two wrestlers that have good chemistry together in the ring as partners like ( Edge & Christian) It's no good just putting some stupid tag team together that makes no sense.
 
If I was in charge, I would want to duplicate the success of WrestleMania with at least two other events in the year. WrestleMania has that "big feel" to it and the wrestlers talk about it on-screen all year round. They should replicate that type of hype with other PPVs to make them more successful. My Pay Per View lineup would look like this:

1. January- Royal Rumble (The Royal Rumble winner gets the main event at WM)
2. February- Night of Champions
3. March- WrestleMania
4. April- Extreme Rules- The fallout from WrestleMania
5. May- Elimination Chamber (The Chamber winner gets the main event at SS)
6. June- Vengeance
7. July- SummerSlam
8. August- Tables, Ladders and Chairs- The fallout from SummerSlam
9. September- Survivor Series (The SS tournament winner main events TME)
10. October- War Games
11. November- The Main Event
12. December- Hell in a Cell- The fallout from The Main Event

Basically, SummerSlam + WrestleMania + The Main Event are the top three shows and everything else revolves around them. Eventually, the more notoriety these shows get, the more buys they'll have each year and other PPV events like Night of Champions and Vengeance can be dropped.
 
Unifying the World Titles
I wouldn't do this for the simple fact that having two world titles makes it easier for mid carders to get that push to the main event level, even if having two world titles lowers the value of each of them it is worth it to start seeing more of our favorite mid carders like Kofi Kingston, John Morrison, Dolph Ziggler, etc.
Tag Teams
Either get more tag teams or eliminate the titles. Two guys there are doing nothing right now that could team up are Sheamus and McIntyre, like you said you could bring back older teams like Benjamin and Haas, I believe they are trying to do this to a lesser effect by reuniting Ryder and Hawkins.
US and IC Titles
For the US Title put some one like Swagger against Kofi for the title, Evan Bourne could use the title too, it just seems that Kofi is the keeper of the mid card title of whichever show he is on till they have any ideas for it, so get it off of Kofi, help him out with his mic skills or give him a manager and give him the big push to the top. For the IC title I would give it to Jackson like I think they are going to do, besides they need Barrett to start performing like he did when he was with the Nexus because SmackDown doesn't have a lot of top tier heels right now.
PPVs
I would say once a month right now, eliminate some unneeded PPVs like Hell in a Cell and Over the Limit, once they are faded out start having 8 or 10 a year, making it a bigger deal when a PPV roles around.
Stories and Promos
You have to stop righting everyones stuff for them and let them have a little freedom, that is the only way some mid carders can get over, I believe this is the reason why John Morrison's promos tend to be boring like he is reading it from a piece of paper, its because he basically is.
Crusierweight Title
Heck yeah bring it back, have guys like Sin Cara, Evan Bourne, and Tyson Kidd fight for this title, they could put on some great matches, As for who to put it on at first, put it on Rey Mysterio, and I say Rey because if you give him a 3 or 4 month title reign with it then drop it off to a mid carder like one of the guys above, it will get them over with the crowed, especially a heel like Kidd.
 
End the annonymous gm angle. Its getting boring and annoying and having an on screen manager is so much better.

Change the PPV schedule

Jan - Royal Rumble
Feb- Elimination Chamber
April - Wrestlemania
May Extreme Rules
June- Fatal 4 way ( i liked this ppv and it gives a chance to push at least one superstar yet still having a credible main event)
July - Money in the bank
August - Summer slam
September - Bragging Rights ( they should have kept this ppv but changed the rewards and motives to winning for your show)
October- Hell in a cell
November- Surviver series
December - TLC

Unify the Ic and US belts and have the champ on both shows

Create more stables and thus a better tag team division

Replace NXT with superstars
 
3 things to improve the WWE?

1. Everyone is part of a tag team. Suddenly you've 30+ teams, the division is saved and there will at least be a couple of useful teams.

2. Scrap the US title, make the IC belt cross brand and reintroduce the cruisers

3. Promos are not so heavily scripted, only giving a general theme and points.

I really would have liked the unification of the 2 main belts but I think it's near unworkable.
 
How would you give the WWE a make over?

My personal opinion is simple,

Less PPV's - 13 ppv's just doesn't work anymore. the feuds are too stale to wanna buy PPV anymore. i.e. Cena/Miz - when is this gonna end? So I say have the original 4 ppvs (royal rumble, wrestlemania, summerslam and survivor series) and maybe 1 more. I liked Night Of Champions It just seemed real interesting to see all the titles defended in one night, new feuds could definitely begin out of there. This gives more time for the great feuds to build up and culminate into great ppv matches. The anticipation would be higher, it'd give the people a sense of urgency to buy the PPV's.

Use only the real talented. That means they must know their stuff both in the ring and how to get a rise out of the crowd either on the mic or with a manager of sorts who can antagonize the crowd and make them look like a million bucks. I don't see that in every single soul in the WWE now. I like the Superstars shows, I think they can get some good feuds going with some of the younger stars that are barely arriving. I think its a good training ground if they aspire to be on Raw or Smackdown! one day. But on Raw and Smackdown! have only the best. Seeing the great Khali dancing around on Raw just isn't my idea of entertainment. Its lame, its stale, I'm glad King/Cole is over with! That was hard to stay awake through. But, a major roster overhaul would be good. Get rid of the ones who really don't seem like they're gonna make it. The others who seem to have potential, put them on a developmental program like Superstars, get some interesting feuds going there, it would definitely help them read a crowd. And help them develop their character before they move up to the bigger shows.

I think either 1 of 2 things should be done. 1) Keep all the titles and keep the brands split, but really split, almost 2 different wrestling companies, where no superstars from raw would be shown on SD! and vice versa and have the roster draft once a year like they're doing it now. or 2) Unify the world title and wwe titles and the IC title and US titles. They're too many titles for one company, they have lost their meaning. It just doesn't feel like an accomplishment anymore to win the title. 1 world title and one mid card title would definitely increase feuds, make better no. 1 contendership matches.

You may say that this is nothing new. well it probably isn't. but it has definitely worked in the past. LESS IS MORE is definitely the way to go right now. The prouct now is overwhelming, even confusing at times.

So what do you think? How would you give the WWE a make over?
 
Hmm, there seems to be a lot of these threads around. Not sure if it'll stay open, but hey, I'll join. First though, I will politely attack yours.

While it would be nice to see, it just isn't smart business. While the buys per show would certainly be better, the extra buys would not equal the subtraction of 7 or 8 shows.

Seeing the great Khali dancing around on Raw just isn't my idea of entertainment. Its lame, its stale, I'm glad King/Cole is over with! That was hard to stay awake through. But, a major roster overhaul would be good.

A couple issues here. While I agree the Lawler/Cole thing went on too long, the feud was initially fantastic. I enjoyed it and the crowd was certainly into it. And yes, Khali dancing around is lame, it is enjoyed by quite a few fans. And Khali is an attraction. A good wrestler? No. But people flipping through the channels will stop when the see someone as large as him on the TV. Getting India to watch certainly doesn't hurt either.

I think either 1 of 2 things should be done. 1) Keep all the titles and keep the brands split, but really split, almost 2 different wrestling companies, where no superstars from raw would be shown on SD! and vice versa and have the roster draft once a year like they're doing it now. matches.

I agree 100 per cent with this. I think WWE should go back to keeping the brands exclusive. I think this solves the PPV problem as well. Keep every PPV but the big 4 brand exclusive.


For me, as I already said, I would like to see Raw and Smackdown be more on their own. The general make up of the show is fine. There are certain feuds or wrestlers I'd like to see, but this isn't really the place for that. If I could change a few things to the structure I would like to see NXT turn into a Raw B-Show and have Superstars be the Smackdown B-Show (Heat and Velocity anyone?) and I would like to see a bit more in ring time. I would generally shoot for 50 per cent in ring action (maybe not bell to bell, but someone kicking someone's ass in the ring) and 50 per cent to promos and what not.

I'm not exactly sure how house shows work, but I wouldn't be running more than 3 a week. Have these guys work a maximum 4 days a week. I would also give each worker a week off once a month. That way their bodies can heal up and maybe we won't see as many wrestling tradegies, and less chance we'll get sick of seeing a certain worker.
 
I think ending the roster split would be a good start, along with combining and eliminating most of the championships. You could then begin to weed out the "filler" talent and have a product worth watching. I also agree with cutting back on the number of PPVs. I know they wouldn't do anything drastic, but bringing it to something like 10 would at least be a start.

I'm actually one of the few who doesn't mind the PG thing, but I think PPV should be the exception to the rule. Sometimes a good bloodbath or profanity-laced promo does wonders for the soul.

It is also time to rebuild the tag-team division. Put guys like Miz and Ziggler together (we'll call them Miggler) and start to establish serious feuds. I know some will scoff at the idea of Miz being in another tag-team, but this could do wonders for both men involved. Same with guys like Sheamus and McIntyre. What an awesome and dominant team they could make, instead of jobbing out in singles matches every week. Make it fun to watch the mid-card again with awesome tag and intercontinental rivalries and matches.

Bring back some old-school shit, and blend it with the new. I've heard they are considering bringing the manager role back into play. Good start. Some old PPVs would be nice as well. Why not combine the Survivor Series and Elimination Chamber PPVs (basically just eliminating EC) and make things interesting? How about a King of the Ring return where the winner receives a briefcase (money in the bank) for a title shot?

These are just a few ideas for a makeover I can think of. Believe me, I could write a book on the things I would consider trying if I were in charge.
 
The solution is staring them in the face and needs to happen soon...

WCW

The fatal mistake Vince made in 2001 was not keeping WCW as a seperate entity, not a "brand" but a fully functional company that once a year could come together for Wrestlemania... Ego got in the way and smiting his former competitor was more important. So we got the Brand Extension, a watered down version of what should have happened from day one...

Right now I would kill to see WCW reform as a company... take the Zack Ryders, Christians and make them a viable attraction in a new WCW... send Booker and Nash over for the "old school"... but it's the best thing they can do...

Alternatively they need to accept and "abandon" the US as their main market... that means monthly UK shows etc... after all if you look at it of the "pushed" stars in WWE right now you have:-

An Englishman (IC Champ Wade Barrett)
A Scotsman (Drew, US Title number one contender)
A Welshman (Mason Ryan)
An Irishman (Sheamus, Orton's challenger)

3 UK/Ireland based stars in title feuds? Mason Ryan a major part of CM Punk/Cena's next arc? I said it before and will again... Summerslam 2012 is a lock for Wembley!

It's not exactly that easy. For starters, WCW had no time slot. While yes, they probably could have found a network in a short time, but Nitro and Thunder were slashed by Time Warners. Which was strange because the ratings were still solid. Secondly, the purchase was for video library more than anything. I'm sure there were some talents the WWE was interested in, but that wasn't what the sale was about. And thirdly, if WCW was continue to air, the WWE would absorb all the talent contracts. These guys were still getting paid. The guys we did see (Booker T, DDP, Lance Storm, etc) all had their contracts reworked so they could wrestle. Most guys would have been paid just as well, if not better, to stay home and let their original deals run out. That's what Hogan, Nash, Goldberg, Steiner, etc. did. I would have, and still would, like to see one brand of WCW and one brand of WWE but at the time it didn't work. And right now, that's sort of what we have.

As for bringing it back, we saw the attempt to bring ECW back and how well that suceeded.
 
1. Create the WWEtv Channel. This is the next step in the Evolution of WWE. In turn, you could then have one station for RAW, Smackdown, Superstars, Tough Enough, NXT, and all other WWE related programming. This would allow WWE to create other programs like reality shows and talk shows based on their talent and other sports. In turn, I'd also sign the TV rights from CMLL in Mexico and one of the Japanese promotions to run on WWEtv.

2. Take NXT and FCW talent and form a "farm system" show similar to ECW. This young talent can have the opportunity to shine on WWEtv and add some relevance to the WWE Draft.

3. Buy TNA and rebrand it with the WCW tag, then run it on the WWEtv channel. In addition, rehire Shane McMahon and put him in charge.

If I am Vince, I have just created a network that will house all of my programming to include new programs, added talent relations with Japan and Mexico, created a new talent "farm system", and acquired the competition and formed a partnership. BTW, all my relatives would be in charge of the day to day ops so no trust issues. (Vince runs WWE enterprise, Linda runs the channel, Steph runs the WWE brand, HHH runs farm system, Shane runs the new WCW)

In terms of creativity:
1. MITB back to Wrestlemania
2. Re-Establish the Tag Division
3. Unite the titles and add the cruiserweight title and TV title.
 
1....GET THE TITLE OFF OF CENA!!!!!!!!!! I'm so tired of superman Cena... enough already... I don't care if he wins sometimes but don't make it that he's been destroyed for 20 minutes then he just bounces back in 2 minutes and wins... it's not entertaining....

2.... Hold another draft and send some people back to Smackdown..... mostly McIntyre, or Swagger... Del Rio.... Too much superstar power on RAW...

3... this one's tough, because I really have 2 things I would want to change so I'm going to rope both into one... Tag Titles and Diva's titles...... time to start having some real Tag teams (Uso's, Hart Dynasty, Hawkins and Ryder) and some Diva's who can actually wrestle( Beth, Melina, Gail, Natalya) give them the titles and lets have real competition!!!!
 
1. I would bring back all the old titles like the Cruiserweight so there would be more competition.:banghead:
2. I would make it so the diva's like Kharma could face superstars like Mark Henry or Santino cause lets face it. Kharma is bigger than all the divas combined.:confused:
3. I would get rid of Superstars and NXT to bring back ECW and Saturday Night Main Event.:)
 
1. I think they should put a tag team championship on each brand, just because the tag team title matches are mostly contested with Raw superstars.:icon_neutral:

2. I think they shouldbring back the Cruiserweight title or make a Luchadore title, just because there is so many high-flyers in the WWE today.:lol:

3. I think they should get rid of NXT, because it doesn't make sense to have two shows for a chance of becoming a real WWE Superstar.:shrug:
 
I would do this...

1. Scrap NXT and expand with another brand. Go to three brands, which would thin out the roster for each show so that you could have enough screen time to develop stars of the future. Unify the WWE and World Heavyweight championships and make them defendable on all shows. Have 1 Unified Title, 1 Tag Team Title, and 1 Women's Title to be defended on any show but have two smaller titles strictly for each show. Have US and Cruiserweight on one show, have INT and Hardcore on another, and the TV and a new title on the other. Have 1 MITB match where two superstars from each brand competes for the briefcase. Return King Of The Ring back, where the winner gets a title shot at the following PPV.

2. Have three PPV's a year where the main event is one superstar from every brand, facing the Unified Champ for the title. Have 11 PPVs a year, with no PPV between Wrestlemania and Royal Rumble, and one every month besides that one.Have the number 1 contender(s) and Champions for the Unified, Tag Team and Women's Championship be able to compete on other brands but otherwise keep brand roster's on their respective brands, making rosters more relevant while still being able to build fueds and rivalries for the three titles across all brands.

3. Have an interactive, month long draft. Where each week on each show, a draft pick is revealed. Like the first Raw of the month, have a triple threat match for a draft pick, and after the match, open up a draft vote on WWE.com, where everyone can vote on who they would want that brand to get in the draft. On the next show, (which would possibly be on a Weds, they would reveal who won the votes, therefore being drafted to the show that won the pick. It continues this way until all draft choices have been made.
 
In no particular order....

1. End brand split. Let's all be real here, the brand split is the main cause of the depleted tag team and mid card title scenes. Keep the World Heavyweight Title (best belt in the business, with the spinner being the worst, good luck having Vince swallow his pride in this matter as well). With all the top talent on both shows everything will come back to normal and the cream will rise to the top like the old days.

2. Stop Hoganizing Cena. I know John Cena is the top draw, and makes the company oodles of money......but he is single handedly ruining the business, as he is pretty much unbeatable right now. Put him in a fued with another top star, and have them humilate him in some fashion, re form him into the rapping Cena gimmick, and all will be right again........not only will adult males learn to like him again, but he won't be this unbeatable hogan-esque hero.

3. Drop the PG/ anti wrestling garbage. Return to the roots of mixed edgy entertainment, with great in ring wrestling. If you want to venture more into the reality crowd, thats fine........repackage/combine NXT/Tough Enough into a reality show with TOP TIER newcomer talent and try to get the show on an existing, or major network.
 
So say your name is Vince McMahon and it's about the time to step down and well go and die somewhere...

Who do you give the WWE to? HHH/Steph? Shane? Maybe you sell it...

Well cutting all emotional ties from this objective since HHH/Steph/Shane are not really related to me... I would keep the WWE name and just make it World Wide Entertainment.. as Vince McMahon I continue to put songs on itunes.. make movies.. maybe try and create another sports league LOL!

But RAW and SMACKDOWN? I would evenly split the rosters and sell them.. SEPERATE...

Let two different companies buy Raw and Smackdown and compete against each other. Effectively splitting the company.

Raw could be renamed R.A.W. Real Action Wrestling.. while Smackdown could just be Smackdown since it's like the number 1 wrestling world in my books...
 
There is simply no way that you can split the company the way that you are suggesting. It would simply be the end of wrestling because there would be no need for the separate companies to ever be in contact with each other. That would be the equivalent of WWE co-promoting an event with TNA. It wouldn't be good business for the bigger company to do it because they have nothing to gain. In that situation, Smackdown would become a company the size of TNA and couldn't stand up to Raw in terms of drawing power and everything. It would make for a very good storyline, however. have Stephanie/HHH take over Raw and have a company headed by Shane take over Smackdown. They wouldn't necessarily have to appear at every show, as they are the "owners" and could just show up for special occasions similar to how Vince shows up now. And you could do this, even if Stephanie and HHH have legitimate control of the actual company.
 
GET RID OF ALL THESE CURRENT WWE ASPECTS..... excuse the bad grammar and spelling..

The current 'family friendly' image they have

The off-putting 'sudden zoom in' with outside ring cameramen, whenever any offensive move is performed outside the ring, it is met with a quick zoom, i dont like this. at all.

the lack of chair shot to the head and wrestlers being 'busted wide open'

two championships, the wwe and world heavyweight championships

John Cena

too many bland americans that all seem to rub together

kane being a bald fruit loop, not his former masked, long-haired favorite

too many shit comentators - bring back J.R, keep jerry lawler, keep cole, maybe keep booker - hes somewhat growing on me.

having ppvs based around match types, extreme rules, hell in a cell, money in the bank, elimination chamber. making a match type like hell in a cell a annual ppv, takes away frm the auora of the match. - im sure they are just doing this too see which ppvs pull the most buys, to hence see which matches prove most popular.

the new hell in a cell structume - not a fan.

many other thing too!!
 
1) Knock Cena out of super status, give guys like Wade Barrett, The Miz and Christian a better chance!
2) Bring back the old title set up, with Light Heavyweight and Cruiserweight, so WWE can make some prestige!
3) No gimmick PPV's apart from Extreme Rules, cos Extreme Rules is awesome.
 
1. Create the WWEtv Channel. This is the next step in the Evolution of WWE. In turn, you could then have one station for RAW, Smackdown, Superstars, Tough Enough, NXT, and all other WWE related programming.
