Strip everyone of their titles and relaunch the NWO. Wrestlers acts as referees the night due to a strike. They can do the 3 count themselves

First I would bring in retired wrestlers or people who actually worked in the industry to be writers. Notice how wrestling was better in the 80s, 90s, and 2000s when you had wrestlers actually writing instead of people from Hollywood? :ohhh:

Get rid of announcers who don't have a wrestling background or weren't fans growing up. There is no reason to have play by play guys who don't know anything about wrestling calling the matches. Imagine someone who doesn't know anything about basketball calling a NBA game. :stopitslime:

Get rid of of overly scripted promos. For guys that need help, just give them bullet points and let them get out there.

End the brand split. It was cool from 2002-2004/2005 but it's past its usefulness. Have wrestlers work Raw and Smackdown. It worked from 1999-early 2002 so why not now.

If we're going to continue the brand split, unify the tag team belts, women's belt, and world title.

Go back to belts looking like actual championship belts. These current belts look like toys.

No more on air authority figures. We should only see authority figures once in a blue moon like in the 80s and mid 90s with Jack Tunney and Gorilla Monsoon.

Bring back Jim Johnston and give him a lifetime contract with the company.

Reach out and try to bring in more black fans.

Only thing I disagree with is the brand split, smack down and raw should always be separate. Lashley would NEVER be champ on a show with Roman drew orton and Rollins

-Go back to the old methods of writing. Bring in a Chris Kreski type who can keep everybody’s storylines straight and knows how to plan for the long-term, so you don't have to be rewriting everything the day of the show. Wrestlers who are skilled at promos shouldn't need an entire script to memorize. Give them bullet points and take it from there. For wrestlers who can't talk well, write their dialogue until they get comfortable enough for bullet points.

-No gimmick PPVs other than the Elimination Chamber, Money in the Bank, and Extreme Rules. Hell in a Cell and TLC should be reserved for matches that end feuds. Bring the brutality back that made those matches special.

-WrestleMania and the Royal Rumble are the only PPVs that should go past three hours. Every other PPV starts at 8 and ends around 11, no exceptions. You could make the argument that the other big events (SummerSlam, Survivor Series) deserve four hours, but only if the card justifies it.

-The presentation needs to change. Go back to being grittier and more stripped down. Each show should also have a strict focus. RAW can be the more glossy show that appeals to casual viewers while SmackDown is more wrestling-oriented.

-Clash of Champions should be exactly what it was meant to be: A night where every title in WWE is on the line, and every match is for a championship. WrestleMania and other PPVs shouldn't be doing this, unless you want to get rid of Clash of Champions.

-fukk a Superstar Shakeup, bring back the draft. If you win a match, you win a draft pick for your brand.

-RAW should go back to two hours, or maybe two hours and 15 minutes if they really want extra time. No reason why you should be having a three-hour show every week. Those shows should be reserved for special occasions (anniversaries, old-school shows, milestones, etc.).

-The music needs to go back to being personalized. It should reflect the wrestler who gets it, not just be generic guitar riffs.

-Bring back the Scramble Match. That was a dope concept and I'm shocked that they only used it four times.

-If you're wrestling someone at the next PPV, you two should not be facing each other one-on-one. At all. Contract signings, tag team matches, interfering in each other's matches, that's all good.

-Cyber Sunday should have never been removed. I have no idea why a pay-per-view where fans are allowed to decide match stipulations and opponents no longer exists in 2021. It's the easiest concept for an event right now.

keep in ring promos to a minimum, bring it back to the old days where wrestlers cut a promo backstage in front of a mic to hype a match

my world champion will only wrestle main events on PPV
he can do forced tag matches on TV only, and he'll do very little, gotta make the world champion a spectacle, and a attraction

ill make it so that high impact wrestling moves can decide a match, finishers will be rare and only used on special occasion

I would gear it more toward younger viewers. The older fans are gonna watch and complain no matter what tbh, growing and appealing to new viewers is the thing that will increase popularity.

That creative team is getting downsized. It's not important to have 50 people who barely watch wrestling to write. I'd say a core group of about eight people who have an extensive knowledge of wrestling and specifically the WWE brand, past and present.

Emphasize vignettes, promos, distinctive characters for the wrestlers and try to make sure that everyone on the roster is doing SOMETHING on the show, even if that includes being job guys. Shorten the TV matches and in-ring promo segments unless it's for the main event feuds. Bring back a clear babyface/heel element on commentary.

I don't need it to be a rehash of the old days, but I feel like the showmanship aspect needs to be re-established. These feuds where it's just like "you're great, but I'm greater, I want a match"/"I agree and I accept!" are boring as hell. If it's a serious feud, there should be an intense personal grudge... other feuds should be based on humiliation or something along that line. Not just two guys having a match.

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 :yeshrug:. 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.
