If you were Vince McMahon, what changes would you make to the WWE Universe

[GreenGrass]

This is a free for all topic. If you were the president of the WWE, what changes would you do? Hire new set of wrestlers? extend the air time? invest in other leagues so you can have a "competition" with each other? Try out new story lines? air wrestling on a different network? bring back the attitude era?


disclaimer: I do not work for WWE

First off, a brand split. Make the 7pm hour of RAW more of a recap/social media hour. SmackDown the wrestling show, RAW the sports entertainment show. Wouldn't change the PG rating or whatever but I would get rid of all these soap opera writers and what not (PG isn't the problem, writing is). I would allow blood to an extent, mostly in major personal feuds. If I could I would travel out of the Country more and do tapings in places like Mexico, Toronto, Puerto Rico, and Spain when they to touring instead of England every year. Let NXT wrestlers compete in other small companies like PWG and vice versa, it would be very good for both imo

 

[LastManStanding]

First and foremost.... Smackdown is going LIVE every week.

 

[Dog Based Gremlin]

I think the best thing right now is to put wrestlers who are dead in the water in NXT again to florish with some indy darlings. Dont just bring up everyone at one time but there is no reason Titus O Neil isnt getting a mini "Matt Hardy 2005 ROH" run in NXT. The smarks should carry him over and let him have a fued with Samoa Joe or Zack Ryder

Bring up Finn and let him run Bullet Club and let it get semi massive like nWo with Triple H and Stephanie being the elders (they are an extension of the Kliq anyway)

In turn, Seth should return as a mega face along with AJ Styles and Dean carrying the load.

Im all for Roman being in the middle as a Heel'ish "Big Sexy Kevin Nash" champ

So the main eventers are....

Face - Main Eventers
Seth Rollins
AJ Styles
Dean Ambrose

Tweener
Roman Reigns (WWE Champ)

Heel Main Eventers
Finn Balor (Hollywood Hogan)
Doc Gallows (Kevin Nash)
Karl Anderson (Scott Hall)

These guys shouldnt be losing any dumb RAW matches, they should be seen as a mega heel stable threat at all times like the nWo 96' and Triple H and Steph should vouch for him

Smackdown

Shane should be on Smackdown more just being a guy building up the Upper midcard. He doesnt have to be this savior of Raw.

Id like to see him be the voice of the voiceless for the like Apollo Crews and Baron Corbin and a true face authority figure for Smackdown. Bring back some prestige for Smackdown. It doesnt necessary have to be a brand split but I want Shane to be working with the younger guys like how Paul Heyman was for ECW.

Let Steph, HHH, and the Bullet Club carry Raw.

Also I want the US title to be important again. I think its time Ryback becomes the new heel Batista and have him pair up with the Dudley Boyz as this mini Bully stable to face Apollo Crews and The Lucha Dragons or something. There is some money in a Bully vs Indy midgets storyline led by The Dudleys/Ryback vs Apollo Crews/Lucha Dragons. (Preferably American Alpha)

Ryback with Bully Ray as his mouth piece might work

extend the air time?

"Four hour Raws, GOD DAMN IT!"

"Five hours! Five hour long live Raws!"

"I just bought the USA Network. Raw is live, 24/7. Never-ending Raws, GOD DAMN IT!"

April: WrestleMania
May: Backlash
June: Money in the Bank
July: Bash at the Beach
August: SummerSlam
September: Nothin

That's 10 vs 13-14 they've been doing.

Another thing, better camera angles, the way WCW did theirs was amazing.

• *SPECIAL* WWE Saturday Night Supershow - 1hr Special Show for High Profile matches (which leads to..)
• 8 PPV's a Year
• More Stables and More Managers
• Destroy Creative, force Wrestlers to define their own gimmick and fail.
• High Profile Tag Teams (Like Dudley Boyz/LOD) will always go over Midcard wrestlers in 2 on 1, unless being pushed for Main Event.
