Bring back skits. This shyt is entertainment goddamnit. We've seen these folks be funny on Youtube on their own. Most of the GOAT moments happened outside of the ring
Way more fights backstage/street/grocery store.
I'd keep the brand split. RAW will be more entertainment/fukkery, Smackdown will have more of a prize fight vibe, and NXT will be some gritty shyt. But treat them of equal status. Have folks crossover on some "what yall doing over here shyt".
the on-screen authority figure is gonna be on some Dario Cueto shyt. not all up in the videos but definitely a presence
Scripted promos are DEAD.
All wrestlers social media will now be in character and incorporated into storylines. We're going full modern mixed-media experience here. You are in character at all fukking times.
uhhh bring back Valets/Managers. Your Carmellas, Alexa Bliss, Maryse's, Mandy Roses would go here. Turn the thottery up to 11. They're doing calendar shoots, Total Divas, bikini contests
Plan out arcs 3, 6 and 12 months out w/ room for deviation as you see how the fans react to shyt. I don't think you need Hollywood writers for this. Just let the writers and talent spin w/o interference and all these whimsical changes.
Have wrestlers involved in multiple angles. I want a "head on a swivel" feel. You might have 2-3 patnas that can run in to help you at any time or another 2-3 enemies that could jump you at any time. This keeps the matchups fresh week to week. They talk that WWE Universe shyt but it doesn't even feel like any of these people are ever in the locker room together.
Get rid of some of these chicks that don't look that good. Wrestling skill would still matter but you not getting on my TV w/o being a looker
. IDK if its cause of the travel or the work schedule but they can do way better keeping their physique on point. How Rhea Ripley first came into the WWE, she would be my Charlotte type focal point. Charlotte would not be in my product. Bianca would be another big figure/standard here.
This whole "I lost in my title shot but I'm Charlotte/Drew McIntyre so I deserve another shot because I'm whining about it" shyt is DEAD. If The Rock could do mid-card and tag team shyt you can too. See who really stands as a star on their own and who cant.
More stuff but I'm rambling at this point. Basically just modernize the Attitude Era. Real life is trashier now than anything that happened then anyway.
forgot one thing. MULTIPLE FINISHERS. 1 surprise finisher (high kickout percentage but on lower card talent it works), 1 standard finisher (60/40 pin/kickout ratio) and 1 that you aint kicking out of that shyt damn near ever if it hits. Everybody will have a submission "finisher" but unless you are billed as a submission expert, it'll basically be to deplete energy/work a body part.
My announcers will also call out move names. If you dont know the Boston Crab variations get the fukk off my announce desk. And you better sell a signature one like the Walls of Jericho like the victim is about to get broken in half compared to a rando's version of the same thing.
