Hehe thanks I'm glad you see potential. Last time I made a thread about my idea, the mods deleted it!
Re: How can WWE recreate and reinvent itself so as to create the next biggest boom?
they need to add more 'attitude' in general, i'm not being one of those nostalgic fucks who keep begging for Attitude Era, but to make the product better they need more attitude, an edgier product. Thats that and they need more captivating storylines, like Punk MITB, like Nexus, except they need to actually run with these storylines, not 'good guy Cena' pops up and saves the day, make them more realistic and interesting. Also they need to make their product a 'must-watch', stop trying to copy other popular shows, make their own show something that no one can miss.
Yes everyone knowing it's 'fake' is really hurting the product, which is why they need to stop the pretending. Create more 'real' life storylines like Punk with his shoot promo, they know those type of storylines are much more successful these days.
like many people were saying last year, the next Era needs to be the 'Real life Era', where they stop pretending that its all real and actually show the world that what they do might be scripted but it means a lot to them and requires a lot of hard work, and bring some real life storylines into it cause they are really interesting.
For example:
Rumors are everywhere in the dirtsheets that Triple-H and Vince are having some arguments over things, as Triple-H is getting more and more power backstage. They could bring this into the ring and it would make for a damn interesting storyline, it would be realistic and captivating. Conclude it with a huge survivor series match 'Team Triple-H vs Team Vince' for the control of WWE, to make people support Triple-H they could add the twist that he actually wants to give the people a more interesting product where people are allowed to say and do whatever they want, while Vince wants a more organized product where everyone knows their place and stay in their limits. Hell they could bring in Linda McMahon pressuring Vince to keep it clean because she's running for some position.
They could do something else like Paul Heyman against Stephanie and Triple-H, Hell even Daniel Bryan and Cm Punk (indies) vs Vince McMahon and John Cena (typical WWE).
WWE KNOWS that the real-life storylines are what make the product interesting today, because everyone knows it's fake, there is no point in pretending anymore.

You can't have it both ways. You either want wrestling the way it is in a slump for the next 10 years like the past 10 years, or you want it to boom again?
The WWE is going to change the model for professional wrestling by making it known that everything is a work. They'll then put on kayfabe-oriented shows.
How they plan to do this is through the WWE network. They'll show clips from shows during the PG era that'll be intertwined with storylines in the future. For example, this clip with Austin, JBL, and Cole.
Pay attention to Austin giving the bird during the PG era and how emotional Cole gets when Austin signs the contract. He literally starts crying! This is going to be a clip showed in the future to spawn a storyline with Jack Swagger (Cole's guy) and whoever Austin's guy will be.
The WWE will be manager-based, with all of the managers being guys from the Attitude Era (SCSA, JBL, etc.). The job of the managers is to put over their guy (the younger talent), by being in their corner, and being their mouthpiece somewhat. Don't be surprised if Paul Heyman comes back to the WWE at some point to back CM Punk and all of the guys who've claimed to be "Paul Heyman guys" over the years. (funny I called this exactly)
Listen to how Vickie greets Stone Cold in a backstage manner, and also listen to the way Stone Cold talks to Dolph (who looks extremely young here). They're talking about rising to the top, and how Dolph is Vickie's "project" and her "guy."
Another example currently in the WWE is Abraham Washington. He's been going around building up clientele for a while now.. Expect him to be the mouthpiece for some up-and-coming talent. I still feel like his release could've been a work.
Listen to what Stone Cold says to Miz, talking about Miz being able to "talk" and Alex Riley being a bigger superstar someday (foreshadowing a future feud?).

i agree with the 'kayfabe' idea, but don't agree with what you're planning. The kayfabe i mean is like Punk's shoot promo, like Rock and Cena bringing real life issues into their feud, like a possible Triple-H vs Vince feud revolving around their fight for power, etc. Not 'this guy can't talk, this guy can talk' arguments, that would make it a reality TV show, the last thing WWE wants. Also i think its ridiculous you actually think all that is a foreshadowing of a future feud, Alex Riley is completely irrelevant now, no one cares about him, not to mention WWE never plans that far in the future.

Re: How can WWE recreate and reinvent itself so as to create the next biggest boom?
As sad as it seems I think this IS the new ere- half-hearted, careful, cheaper production, watered down wrestling where the talent are protected from reality and have to do as little as possible in the ring. This is compensated by filling up time with cheap things like tweets and social media and trying to sell as much merch as possible while producing more and more throwaway PPVs for high prices. I think wrestling as we knew it is dead, it just isn't the billion dollar industry it once was.
