you bumped into haitch tomorrow and he asks for 3 things to bring wwe shine on the spot :

[BlackDiBiase]

1. re-sign cody and let him have the strap
2. more jobbers no A players should clash before any PPV
3. bring back an old man anchor like mene gene or lord alfred hayes to show the company is distinguished and it has more focus on the wrestler and makes them look bigger and more impactful.

those are my 3 ideas, if he couldnt do number 1 i would say turn kofi heel. shave his head give him all black tights and have him 'banning people from paradise' and of course the strap.

any innotive ideas, i swear working for the wwe as a booker or manager would have been one of my dream jobs i think it still is

 

[Vinny Lupton]

Cody is awful. 1 star

 

[BlackDiBiase]

Cody is awful. 1 star

i dont know man his american physco gimmick was pretty ill and he could pull off another, never the less they need a wrestler wrestler with the strap to turn things round and usher in a new breed. kofi could do that too.

Ain't nothing "innotive" about Cody bro.

 

[OVER]

1. Yeah, I've seen some of Cody's ROH and NJPW stuff I ain't impressed.

People who don't actually watch his outside work say he's killing it on the indies, long time ROH fans point to him being champion as a noticeable downturn.

I'd be all for a Cody WWE comeback as I do think he could've been better utilized and a guy who proved to be versatile as far as working gimmicks.

I prefer for him to help make the Intercontinental title mean something again along with Harper, Miz, Neville, and Zayne.

2. I agree we don't need to see these guys clash in the ring until the ppv's but they need to find ways to keep the feud hot and it seems to be lost with the WWE. Throwing jobbers out there to wrestle stars don't work anymore, the crowd would hijack and troll WWE by chanting the name of the jobber and resent the 'stars'.

3.Nah, I wouldn't bring back the old guys some of them just don't have it anymore and we're better left with the memories but you could always bring them back every now and then or have a guy like Mean Gene interact with one of their stars.

Kofi shouldn't make such a drastic change to his look as cutting his famous dreadlocks for something that likely wouldn't get over, no offense

3. i meant a new version, an older respected head. what 3 things would you do ?

kofi needs a boost his a star, in the wrong schtick. he needs to revamp like sting did or something.

[TL15]

Make it less predictable

If you want fans to pop you have to make it unpredictable. That's the only thing they care about. Hell even predictable unpredictable stuff they like (Braun/Big Show broken ring spot)...

There needs to be an element of unpredictability (and they are trying to create this)

Imagine a match between Hawkins and Apollo gets interrupted by Samoa Joe... Joe chokes out Hawkins and then demands a title shot that night... shyt would be

That's the stuff that happened when SCSA was at the peak of popularity. He would come in whenever he wanted (sometimes several times per night) and just cause hell.

Build instead of hotshot

Macho man was a DOPE IC champion. He was a true main eventer before he was a World Champ..

Nowadays you have guys come up and immediately they are in the title hunt. I know I just mentioned Joe but imagine if Joe, Finn, Elias, Seth, Miz, Apollo, Goldust, were all in the IC title hunt... you would have a dope division with heels and faces all with some direction. Easy to make multi man matches, tag matches, number one contenders etc. Build solid divisions and keep things fresh.

Let people sink or swim

Alexa Bliss is someone who has shown that she deserves to be a star. I can't tell you her finisher, I can't tell you anything about her matches, but she can talk and garner heat, she can play the chickenshyt heel, she can play the opportunist heel, etc. let the fans choose (not by bytching but by reaction) where people are. Be malleable with plans so that if people start to love an entrance theme (fandango) see how far that can get someone. Let things happen more organically instead of it being formulaic.

Kofi is one of the most underrated guys they have I have no doubt he could pull off a heel turn if that's the direction you want to go in. Have him point that out, show all the great things he has done, write out Underrated on his tights. Make him a heel that's technically correct.

1. Define these wrestlers, who they are and what makes them different than any other wrestler.

2. Adjust scripts to fit wrestlers natural dialect. Fans want to flat out get rid of scripted promos but I think it helps some guys but what doesn't work is bogging down how these guy actually talk with McMahonism's, it sounds stupid for a guy like Braun Stroman to use the phrase "championship opportunity" rather than "title shot" which is what he got in trouble for. Ever wonder why Will Smith and Samuel Jackson seem to play the same characters? It's not a lack of range they have their own writers who edit their dialogue to fit the way they talk.

3. There needs to be an established pecking order with the women's division. No more 50/50 booking. Although I respect Natalya and feel for her for having to put over some of the worst wrestlers through her career, she still lost to bum divas. She's like the female Dolph Ziggler most people gave up on her a long time ago. She shouldn't have beat Naomi who herself was finally coming into her own and looking strong.

[reigun]

1. More collaboration between wrestlers and writers. Some wrestlers and fans want writers gone, but....that's dumb. WWE is a massive weekly TV show; you need writers to keep something like that running and a quality product. What needs to happen is wrestlers need to be able to talk to their writers so that both can have some understanding of what their characters are so the writers can write dialogue and situations that feel more natural and the wrestlers can more easily play to their strengths.

This, of course, is going to mean an overhaul in how writers fit into the WWE system. Gotta find a way to stop high turnover, for one. Make sure your head writers are actually writers (get Road Dogg the fukk outta there). Collaborate with them on long term plans and stop changing things last minute so that they feel their work is valued.

2. Change your presentation. WWE will likely never shed the stigma of being "fake," but they don't help things by having their shows feel so plastic and inauthentic. So many little things add up that break your suspension of disbelief: the corporate language that appears in every promo, the way no one looks into the camera when they're doing a solo promo backstage, the weird way they all watch TV, the general managers having "offices" that are just them standing up in front of a cheap set. On their own, any of these things would not be a big deal. Taken together, they are really offputting.

They have to get rid of the "McMahon-isms" and allow the wrestlers to talk like people. Get away from the prestine, overly clean look and make things look a little more "lived in." Get more varied music for entrance themes. Allow wrestlers to start working different matches with interesting finishes (within reason; I know talent safety is a concern and a lot of these new wrestlers can't want to drop themselves on their heads).

3. Let the fans dictate the direction. Within reason, obviously. No show or creative endeavor should be slavishly following what its fanbase wants. But WWE often feels like it goes in the total opposite direction, where the people behind the scenes are making the show for themselves to enjoy and not only don't give a fukk about the audience, but actively work to spite the people watching the show. It's a needlessly antagonistic relationship.

Pay attention to whose is getting heat and push them even if you don't see it. If they're not meant to be, they'll fizzle out on their own. Stop trying to have one "Top Guy." With where they are now, they need to be trying to create as many stars as possible.

Basically, all my suggestions have to do with changing the overall direction and philosophy of the company. There's no one magic booking decision that's going to change things. There needs to be a complete overhaul in how the company approaches the product.

 

[AKM-95]

1) Having a showrunner or creative director for Raw or Smackdown this person would be responsible for aligning Raw or SD with creative plans, previous storylines, and fixing plot holes. They would work independently from the head writer.

2) Overhaul of announcing bring in more charismatic announcers who can sell a story and/or characters

3) stop scripting promos to be wordy and unrealistic. There's nothing wrong with character developing through promo but if every promo on the show is some long drawn out speech than what's the point. Some guys only need a few minutes to get their point acrossed and deliver an effective promo.

 

[MushroomX]

1) 2hr Shows, 4 Major PPV, 4 Brand PPV, and KOR Network event for SummerSlam.
2) Dismantle WWE Creative
3) Bring back managers

 

[John Reena]

1. Ship Finn Balor to 205 Live

2. Make Miz beat Brock for the title. (Reigns interference of course.) Give him a yr long reign.

3. Do more "quiet" RAWs like they did a couple of yrs ago when that blizzard hit tha east coast.
