If you were in charge of the books, and have to run a BUSINESS, and have to keep short term and long term goals in mind, how would you do it.

A couple caveats:

  • Assume everyone is healthy
  • This is based on 'right now' so there is no mania season resetting or anything weird with the calendar
  • Part timers like Rock and Taker are considered tier ZERO, and have their own spot, so omit them
  • Based on their handling of the belts:
  • The main event competes for wwe title
  • The top of the card competes for whc title or are on that level
  • The middle of the card competes for tag team and IC titles
  • The curtain jerkers compete for the us title and time on tv
  • You can call up people from NXT or fcw if you would like
  • Your goal is to create an entertaining product with the current roster and make a sustainable product
Main event:
2 heels, 2 faces

Top of the card:
3 faces, 3 heels

Middle of the card:
4 faces, 4 heels

Curtain Jerkin:
3 faces, 3 heels

FIRST OF ALL have a tournament to unify the IC and US belts. After that ALWAYS decide the match for the New Midcard belt based on a tournament.

Any sports entertainment drama arises from these nikkas' fukkery to try to get ahead in the tournament.

Same thing goes for the tag belts. Actually make them matter.
Have at least one Tag Tournament match per show (Raw, SD!)

At the PPV's you have the finals of each tournament.

The WHC and WWE titles could still be contested in their usual format of all drama-driven angles and number one contender slots.


With all that in mind,


MAIN EVENT
F: John Cena - "Face" But make sure he is always trolling.
F: CM Punk - This time actually give him an establishment to be anti-establishment against. Instead of Laurinitis barely turning openly heel before getting fired... put him against a GM with real power. Not fukking Vickie. Not godamn AJ. Put JBL in this role.
H: D.Bryan
H: Mark Henry


TOP OF THE CARD (WHC Scene)
FACES: Ziggler(C), Shaemus, Del Rio with a Masked Luchador Batman gimmick
HEELS: BIG-E, Cesaro, Orton(#1 Contender)

MIDCARD TOURNAMENT SCENE
FACES: Justin Gabriel(C), R.Truth, Tyson Kidd, Kane, Zack Ryder
HEELS: Seth Rollins(#1 Contender), Kofi (w/ Jamaican Accent), Titus O'neal, Big Show, Otunga, Heath Slater, Wade Barrett, Fandango,

TAG TEAM TOURNAMENT SCENE
Dean Ambrose&Roman Reigns(C), USOS(#1), Tons of Funk, Primo/Epico, Hunico&Mistico, Rhodes Scholars, Darren&Yoshi Tatsu as 'The New PTP' :lolbron:... no I'm jk.
DarrenYoung & JTG as The New Primetime Players
Santino & Yoshytatsu as a permanent tag team with a team name.

No one is set to curtain jerk, there is actually a purpose for all the motherfukkers that I am paying to be on my roster.

ANNOUNCE TEAM
William Regal and Joey Styles on RAW
King and/or JBL (if he's not GM) and Matt Striker on Smackdown

FUTURE ENDEAVORS:
Michael Cole, Miz, Jack Swagger, Jinder Mahal, Drew McCintyre, probably others as soon as I remember they exist.

To be honest, these tiers are too small to accomodate the talent the WWE has right now. A flexible main event, upper-midcard, and midcard are essential to a good product, so I'ma bend the rules and increase the capacity of each tier:trollbron2: I also count tag teams as one entity.

Main event (WHC, WWE):
Heel:
Ryback
Randy Orton
Face:
John Cena
Dolph Ziggler w/ AJ & Langston (Langston curtain jerks on the sideline)

Top of the card (IC, WHC depending on who holds it, misc. feuds between good draws):
Heel:
Wade Barrett
Jack Swagger w/ Zeb Colter
Mark Henry
The Miz
Face:
Antonio Cesaro
Alberto Del Rio w/ Ricardo Rodriguez
Daniel Bryan
Kane

Middle of the card (US title, misc. midcard feuds):
Heel:
Kofi Kingston
Chris Jericho
Damien Sandow
Justin Gabriel
Evan Bourne
Face:
Fandango
Cody Rhodes
Tyson Kidd
Rey Mysterio
Sin Cara

Curtain Jerkin (Low midcard, compete for time on TV, frequently wrestle on Superstars/Main Event/Saturday Morning Slam):
Heel:

Big E. Langston
Zack Ryder
Mason Ryan
Face:
David Otunga
Alex Riley

Jobbers (Not used mostly/jobbers):
Heel:

Yoshi Tatsu
Santino Marella
Michael McGillicutty
Face:
Derrick Bateman
Curt Hawkins
The Great Khali

*Tag Team Division (This division alternates between jobbing, curtain jerking, and midcarding. TV time is not a question but their importance and time for matches are limited)
Heel:

Sheamus & The Big Show (The Business)
Drew McIntyre, Jinder Mahal, and Heath Slater (3MB)
Darren Young & Titus O'Neil (Primetime Players)
Face:
Epico & Primo w/ Rosa Mendes
Ezekiel Jackson & JTG (New Panthers)
Jimmy & Jey Uso (The Uso's)

Zero Tier:
The Rock
Brock Lesnar w/ Paul Heyman
The Undertaker
Triple H
The Shield
CM Punk w/ Paul Heyman
