What can you do to improve the WWE?

Question

Have you got any ideas to improve it or do you like it the way it is?

Answer 1

1. Remove dead weight (Snitsky, Great Khali, Daivari, the Miz for starters)

2. Re-invigorate the tag team scene.

3. Reduce the number of titles - have one undisputed champion, one US/Intercontinental champ, one tag team championship, one cruiserweight title, and one hardcore title - guys like Gregory Helms, Benoit, and Kendrick/London would receive much more due praise and pushes as a result.

4. Make ECW like ECW instead of like a trip to church.

5. Balance out the Divas - if some are ONLY for eye-candy, then NEVER put them in the ring. And for those that are put in the ring, make sure they have SOME wrestling ability.

6. Stop the Eugene angle, since Nick Dinsmore is in fact a talented wrestler - I would to see him with a new gimmick.

7. Pull some switches that no one anticipates - make Rey or Benoit a heel (I realize not a novel idea, but when was the last time you saw them as anything but faces?) - make Maria a heel, or have "Queen Sharmell" turn on Booker and go face. I realize these types of ideas are fraught with peril, but in reality - the storylines that people remember are those that shocked them (ie Andre the Giant turning on Hogan, Paul Bearer siding with Mankind over Undertaker)

8. Acknowledge that your programming sucks - there is so much kayfabe in wrestling now that it would make a great angle that McMahon sits at home watching TNA rather than his own show - plus, since he would be watching a more exciting organization, he might pick up some ideas.

9. Reduce the amount of PPV's. I say this, not because I am a cheapskate who does not want to pay for events, but that in the old days, storylines built over months. Now, with PPV's happening once a month, these storylines (some of them with intriguing possibilites) go nowhere. A great example from this year was the series of matches between Benoit and Finlay, both superb workers. That storyline, back ten years ago - would have resulted in 6 months of great matches. Now, we get three weeks of mid-card matches on Smackdown or Raw. I guess what I mean is - don't cater to the ADHD audience.

10. The storylines that work are the ones incorporating psychology - friendships breaking up, families breaking apart (ie. Owen vs. Bret), or rebellion against the established rules (eg. DX, Stone Cold, The Rock, etc.). Therefore, for wrestlers you wish to push, teach them ring psychology - watching Batista is duller than watching ladies' golf, and watching Cena is...well, enough writers have already put in their opinions of that.

(In response to the debate over the "King" moniker - the WWE has had several "kings" including Harley Race, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Haku, Randy Savage, and others. They were all chosen after tournaments They decided to make an annual event of it and called it King of the Ring instead of just handing someone the angle. - as far as I know, Jerry Lawler is the only one who has consistently used the King moniker throughout his WWE tenure.)

Answer 2

It starts with getting new writers. Take the titles off Cena and Batista. Stop rehashing old ideas like DX and King Booker which is just a newer version of the "Macho King" Randy Savage. Give a push to some of the more talented yet unused wrestlers like Shelton Benjamin and stop with the "Superman" champions that overcome all odds no matter how difficult the situation. I know it's entertainment but it's just too fake when Randy Orton and Mr. Kennedy lose a 2 on 1 table match to one Bobby Lashley.

Though there have been many "Kings" in the WWE after winning King of the Ring, it is clear to see that the King Booker and Queen Sharmell gimmick is very close to the "Macho King" Randy Savage and Queen Elizabeth gimmick after Savage beat Jim Duggan to become King of the Ring.

Answer 3

The thing we can do is, stop having these biasness in the business. Yes this business is making a lot of money and stuff but it isn't going to help all the time. It would help if we could just stop the biasness for starters. Then fire this creative team and get a better one in who is more talented then the old one, we have to stop dejavu! Also we are going to train every single wrestler in their to the best of their abilities and make sure they can have different moves too so it doesn't look like someone with no moves or someone who cannot wrestle.. THAT'S A STARTER..

Answer 4

first off, make vince mcmahon stop making the stupid matches he has been making the past 2 years. bring back paul heyman as the creative genius behind ecw and let him do his thing. get rid of a lot of dead weight, AKA shelton benjamin, charlie haas, kenny dykstra, snitsky. give cryme tyme a HUGE push. make ric flair just a manager. he needs to hang up the tights. make JBL the #1 commisioner over ALL brands. i know this will sound completely sexist but its wrestling so who cares, more bra and panty matches for the divas. they are the only diva matches that anyone really tunes in to see as unfortunate as that is, they have soome real talented female wrestlers, (IE Victoria who deserves the title more than melina) melina, hell candice michelle is a better wrestler than ashley. start training these "Diva Search Winners" (cough cough) to wrestle Jeez. Layla El is very flexible. she would be a great wrestler if they would train her. Bring Kevin Thorne to RAW. That dude is awesome. Put the Hardys back together. Add a couple people to DX when HHH gets back to make the feuds better and funnier. they need a full stable. I agree with that other dude too, do something better with the cruiserweight division. make hardcore matches at ecw events, i think ecw still stands for EXTREME CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING RIGHT?!?

Answer 5

Make HBK and Undertaker the new champions.

Turn Batista Heel (hes got so boring as a face, give him a new challenge)
Turn Kennedy face, and eventually make him champion. (he could be a great face champ!)

Have more cross branding (to be fair thats what they've started to do to - and im sure will increase ppv buys this year)

Have more gimmick matches - street fights, cage matches, last ride matches, hell in a cell matches, buried alive matches, ladder matches, TLC's etc etc.

Make edge the WWE champion again sometime soon - He is awesome, the greatest heel in proffesional wrestling, creates heel heat so easilly!

When Khali was moved to raw I would have said get rid of him but they have used him perfectly over the last couple of months, so I doubted it at first, but i think its actually working.

Scrap ECW, and move the best wrestlers from there to the RAW and Smackdown brands.
CM Punk - Smackdown,
Burke - Smackdown,
RVD - Raw,
Lashley - Smackdown,
Sabu - Raw,
Kelly Kelly - Raw,
Layla - Smackdown..

Just a few examples.


oh and at WM23 in the hair v hair match I want to see Eugene shave Vinces' head bald, im sure the crowd would love that!

Answer 6

Start with better writers for one. Stop the stupid storylines and write ones that are believable. Take the belts off Cena and Batista. Make Cena wrestle liked he used to when he first came to the company. Make Batista recapture the magic he had back in 2005.

Cut the Diva BS and make them legit matches.

Answer 7

Have Triple H reveal himself as McMahon's son in law, thus making him a super heel and champion all the time. This will make for good angles regarding power struggle within the WWE and should put many wrestlers over.

Answer 8

1-Do something with the Crusierweight Division
2-Take The WWE Title off of Cena
3-Stop Jobbing Chris Benoit
4-Stop reusing the same storylines
5-Give the Mid-carders better recongnition.
