1. Create a new WWE network exclusive wrestling program that is TV-14/MA with their own roster and PPVs. Hopefully on the scale that NXT is but this would be more AE/RA/ECW-esque and not developmental for the main roster. More hardcore matches. Cursing. Hilarious banter. Bra and panties. Beer. You get the point. Not sure how else to give "edgy wrestling" to so many fans who want to watch it again without affecting the current state of the company (sponsers, kiddies, moms, etc...)

2. Make the women wrestle like the men. If they really want to be seen as equals they need to start acting like it. More high flying and high risk maneuvers. They should be having ladder matches as often as the guys do. Add more gymnastics to their movesets.

3. Get involved much more with the gaming community. Considering how popular esports and gaming competitions are, I'm suprised they haven't started with their own esports competition yet. Add some special guests. "Challange mode" or something like that would be a wrestler that comes out and plays. I haven't played their recent games so I have no idea if it's even fun, has online multiplayer support, etc... but it's something i would definitely make sure happens in the near future.

4. Rename the US belt the US open challenge belt and continue it as such

5. Give Cesaro new entrance music

6. Redesign the WWE Championship belt and Diva's belt. Both of them look terrible

7. Make Paige stop saying, "this is my house!" Makes me cringe everytime.

8. Add more fireworks, flames, and smoke to the entrances. They should look grand again.

9. And as most people have said... fire creative. Bury the Authority. Retire Big Show and Kane.

-Brand split making Smackdown live instead of taped. This offcourse means bringing the big gold belt back.

-The US and IC titles have booked storylines and feuds instead of random shit. Making them almost as important as the two titles and even closing shows.

-Bring back the womens title and fire any "diva" who thinks shes a wrestler. Offcourse book the title properly also not just the 3 minute shitfest every Raw we get now.

-Make proper tag teams that stay together years or even the wrestlers whole career. Again make feuds relevent not just having random number 1 contender tournaments. The titles will close a show now and again.

-Main Eventers being Cesaro, Ambrose, Rollins, Owens, Wyatt. As much as im not a fan, Cena still has a place among the elite as long as he keeps popping and drawing.

Fire Dunn
retire Vince
give hunter a 6 month trial run and if the product doesn't improve promote Heyman to on screen product control
have steph run the corporate shit
raw goes two hours
nxt is abolished as a show and the talent move to smackdown
I'll make WWE a triple tier company nxt Is development and implementation of characters and ring skills and promo skills and your judged by management which consists of zeb goldust and hunter and del ray
if you get unanimous approval from them you get a SD promotion and put in front of a live audience. If they don't respond back to nxt if you get over you get promoted to raw SD will also have the whc title. If you hold the whc title your eligible for a 5 man gauntlet. If you defeat 5 stars on the raw roster you in 5 consecutive raw main events you can cash in the whc for a WWE championship match at summerslam, the rumble or wrestlemania.
Like SD if you get crickets back to development.
Summerslam is as is.
SS is tag team exclusive and the best tag teams fight each other or interpromotional teams with the winner receiving a trophy
the rumble is competed with 5 of the best of SD 15 raw stars and 5 talents from other promotions. For example Okada, Brian cage, EC3, Adam Cole and someone from pwg the winner gets a WWE championship match if they are on raw. A promotion to raw if it's an SD star. And if it's the 5 indy dudes they get a SD contract.
wrestlemania is a industry wide spectacle of interpromotional matches and of course the WWE championship mwin event

Fire Swagger, Henry, Big Show, Kane, Undertaker, Hogan, Paige, Brie, Naomi, Tamina, Fox, That commentator who looks like a fat version of cole, Roman Reigns, Erick, Emma, Dana, Darren Young

I think roster would be way more enjoyable

Firing Cena is already signs of failure.

Cena is the top dog for a reason he's the reason most people get paid he's the current best merch seller on the roster. Kids stay up late Monday nights to watch Cena so you're also affecting your show's rating by getting rid of his fanbase. Great. Like I said none of you have the credentials to keep Raw strong like Vince has. Smh lol

1) Talent evaluations across the board from offices to wrestlers. There are good and bad workers at every level, even amongst the writers. Short term quality increase from focusing on the current crop of skilled employees and a long term shift in hiring practices+presentation as the best of now leads a new generation.of employees.

2) Keep raw three hours, but can the 20 min promos for some quality video packages either as documentaries/behind the scenes or as FILMED/ACTED backstage skits ala Lucia Underground.

NXT has the right idea with the Finn Balor doc. Adam Rose could have gotten over as Ray Lappan if they showed bits of the ESPN doc. Backstage skits would be better than the crap we get. Closeups, direction, snoring, etc... You need a decent director to make it happen. LU does it. WWE can for all of their funds.

3) STABLES - I miss stables. In the wwes prime, you would see groups like the ministry, dx, corporation, nation of domination, etc... And it makes sense. Why wouldn't wrestlers make alliances? Plus, it mixes up programming. If Reigns is after Wyatt, he could have two singles matches against Rowan and Harper before even considering him facing Wyatt. Make PPV showdowns mean something. Never mind handicap matches, interference, etc... You should get 6 shows before they really face each other. Nevermind gang battles (4on4, 5on5 etc...).

So give us the reunited Shield, New Day, a much larger Wyatt family (Wyatt, Bo, their sister from nxt, Harper, Rowan, and Ascension), a better Authority (Cesaro, Owens, Kane, and heel Neville), The Balor Club (Balor, Itami, and hire the Bucks), NXT four horsewomen, Summer's BFFs or whatever she had in NXT, etc...Stable it up.

It also makes giants, like Show, Lesnar, Henry, and eventually, Corbin look like beasts because they'll take on/hold their own against a stable solo.Though for a storyline, eventually do a big man stable and some nice destroying stuff spots.

4) Brand Split. If we're going to put more emphasis on the wrestlers and teams, add video packages, etc...we need two shows with two teams. That way decent talent doesn't drop off the card. Tag team championships aren't preshow matches. The cards are bloated.

5) Greater emphasis on tag team wrestling. To keep things interesting, Raw has tag teams, Smackdown has Trios. Tag team wrestling was heating up recently, keep focusing on it for quality matches and to give something for 'lost' wrestlers, like Ceaaro and Kidd. Not to mention, it elevates the stables when each group has a tag team.

- Move raw to 2 hours (screw the extra $$$ from the 3rd hour, You'd get extra $$$ thru a better product/ratings
- Fire the entire writing team
- Hire Heyman as head writer and give him 100% control
- Bring back bullet point promos and leave them unscripted
- Bring back Jim Ross and Tony Schiavone as my commentary team, and don't script them either


for starters.

Back to 2 hour show is probably the most common answer to thread question, and yeah I think it would be a best start.

I would cut RAW back down to 2 hours, make Smackdown live and split up the brands again
