You cant save wrestling. The nerds have taken over, no business survives the nerds. Poker, comedy, wrestling, music, movies. Every time geeks take over it goes to shyt. They're not cool, they're not supposed to have a voice.

Geeks think meta irony is funny, like young bucks. shyts corny.

There are almost zero cool people in wrestling left. This is why we had big ass wrestlers, it was a spectacle. You paid twenty bucks and concession prices to watch big asss jacked-up monsters fighting. Now we got 150-pound sissies throwing 70 kicks a match.

tldr: make it cool.

- Finishers should end matches 99 percent of the time. Not kicked out of every week.

- TV matches should rarely go over 7 minutes. No commercial breaks during matches. People have short attention spans, don't drag anything.

- Every championship should have a rankings. Every match should be the higher ranked contender of that division defending his/her spot against the lower ranked contender.

- Champions shouldn't wrestle in non title matches. Promos and angles during weekly TV, yeah, but no matches.

- More Hip Hop culture. More trap-like music as part of the show's branding and presentation, more direct marketing to young hip hop listening consumers with the show's characters, storylines, promos and visuals similar to the NBA.

Keep in mind I haven't watched Raw/SD since the Kofi/Brock embarrassment, and my only knowledge of it is from being in the main threads and scrolling on twitter:

1) Black wrestlers not being made to look like fools
2) Storylines that actually make sense
3) Totally clean out the creative staff
4) Women that can't wrestle being valets/managers (if they have charisma/can talk). Not every woman needs to be in the ring just cause they look good. They've been trying to re-create Trish's rise from fish out of water model to pretty good wrestler and they've failed multiple times.
5) Actually make people look like bigger than life stars instead of uncool geeks. Your main champion (as a face) should never be cowering in the corner and being scared of the dark. Austin was getting terrorized by peak Undertaker and Kane and never showed the absolute fear that Rollins showed for Bray cutting lights on and off.
6) Stop pretending Asian and Mexican wrestlers can't speak English.
7) Made your midcard feel important more than just for a 4 week period

Too many god damn wrestlers that look like their manufactured at a warehouse

So many vanilla midget cacs in kickpads and hipster haircuts

No one stands out anymore and there is like 60 wrestlers and 3 shows to follow per week

Too much

AEW is small and easier to digest


More like too many dudes with long dark hair and beards

This is the dumbest argument anyone makes, but especially when people like Jim Cornette make it because 90% of people who have entered the wrestling business since the 1950s were because they were marks first, Cornette included. And mind you, the same people that make the marks in the ring argument also get pissy when someone who didn't grow up a fan gets in and is successful.

They tried a ranking system. But they are too short sighted to see it through. And at the end of the day Vince will throw that shyt out the window as soon as he feels like going in a different direction. They don’t respect anyone but whoever they are pushing at the time and it’s never more than 2 people. So everyone else gets feed to them two people, the end result is 50/50 booking and wrestlers made to look weak. AEW better capitalize on these low ratings if they want to survive
