1. Elaborate.
2. I'll give you that one in some cases.
3. 80% of this generations youth movement says hi.
I said this before, yes I would like the mild swearing, blood and TV14 back. But i'm tuning into Raw every Monday night and i'm certainly enjoying it, so WWE isn't doing that much wrong in my books.

1. Lack of stables and tag teams
2. Lack of gimmicks and any real character development for the majority of the roster
3. The brand split

- I don't give a shit about anybody on NXT (or probably Tough Enough) because they all look and perform exactly the fucking same. Give them more time to develop their skills and an actual character before hurling them onto a televised show.
- I know times are changing and old school ways are being phased out, but please stop handing the world title to rookies just because they have some good qualities to them. I thought Lesnar was a learning experience in that regard.
- That's really it for me, actually.

1. Build up your mid-card wrestlers (and tag teams for that matter)
Give your mid-carders time to shine, don’t all of sudden do it when your back is against the corner, build up your mid-card division so the audience can really care about them as much as your main guys like John Cena, Randy Orton etc. There is a reason why in the previous era’s that the crowd gave a damn about the mid-carders cause each individual had their respective air time and storylines. That’s why guys like Christian is getting mediocre ovations now cause you (WWE) not doing anything with him by being directionless.
2. Enough with the heroic generic Face characters.
One of the most things that annoys me in this watered down era is that 95% of the Face superstars has the same hero style generic character. Every last one of them other then The Undertaker and Triple H. Orton is slowly heading to that direction himself with all the more smiling and posing etc. It’s just getting ridiculous, does Orton still got an edge for his character? no doubt but everyone and their grandmother can see that they soften Orton character up a little. I’m going to quote an old post I did a couple of days ago and it will explain perfectly.
3. Stop using the WWE and World titles as props.
Stop trashing the prestige titles, just cause today’s era is mediocre don’t treat the titles like them as well. Don’t throw a title on a wrestler just to get him over, not ready for it or cause he has celebrity status. (Sheamus, The Miz, Jack Swagger etc.) I call that being lazy to build up your stars of tomorrow. I’m not even a Wade Barrett fan and far away from it but I’m very surprised that he is not a champion or a former World Champion yet cause unlike the other three (especially that fool Miz), he deserves it.

The Faces of today needs to seriously stop being so damn heroic and generic and actually have their own identity/characters immediately.

Building/Hyping - Wrestlers and PPV's simply arent built properly anymore. Swagger, Sheamus etc. Now I'm a big fan of Sheamus, but his first title victory ruined him for a short time. PPV's simply aren't being hyped and it's affecting the WWE's buyrates yet they refuse to do anything about it.
Alot of it has to do with their booking & execution.
1) Bad Acting = Alot of the backstage segments in WWE these days are just cringe worthy. Either let them speak for themselves and create their own material or give them a damn acting coach. You can't expect these guys to act out scripted dialogue word for word if they have no experience or training in doing so. And it really hurts shows & promos when I just don't believe a word of what the guy is saying.
2) The "Comedy" = It frightens me that Vince finds things like Leprechauns, The Cobra, and the Compu-GM to be funny or compelling television. Whenever they do comedy bits, it is so horribly executed with absolutely no sense of timing or skill. The Comedic matrial is dreadful most of the time. Now an example of great comedy in wrestling, to me, was The Mountie being carted off to Jail at Summerslam 1991. It was believable that this loudmouthed punk was upset over his situation, and everything that happened seem to happen naturally. If WWE was doing it now, they'd have an awkward pause in between "jokes" in order to wait for a laugh that will only come from 10% of the audience. They'll have over exaggerated goofball mannerisms & expressions, so the Cops would probably mug for the camera.
3) No Long Term Planning = When WWE pulled the trigger on Edge/Hardy just a couple weeks after Hardy's return, when they had Punk drop the title to Taker, or when they rush feuds to gimmick match theme PPVs, or rush programs to a conclusion, or seemingly pile on stuff to Nexus in a vain attempt to keep the story going, it gives me the impression that WWE doesn't have any kind of long term planning or storyline care. Like I said with Nexus, I feel like they go "OK, how can we keep this thing going" once a week, as to already knowing where its going to go. ook at tonight's Raw. They rushed Miz & Morrison for the title to TV, again, displaying no kind of plan or long term care put into any of it. Usually if there is a long build up to something, its because a legit injury somehow got worked in and it kept one of the guys off TV for 6 months anyway.
Look at ROH, and look at what they did with Steen & Generico. THAT is how you do a long term storyline/feud. True ROH doesn't operate under the once a month PPV format, but WWE (and TNA as well) shoot themselves in the foot all the time anyway by blowing good stuff on TV. Now look at Hogan/Sting from WCW 97. THAT is how you do a long term feud. They found ways to make the feud an exciting part of their television program, and they managed to hold off on the match for over a year.

1. Pushing mic workers instead of great in ring workers. Christian and Shelton Benjamin should have been champ long before Miz ever even touched the belt
2. No more blood. I never was crazy about seeing blood every week, but it would add to big PPV matches if guys were still able to bleed. Don't agree? Imagine Wade Barrett juicing in his match with Cena at TLC, and how that would have augmented the feel of Cena getting his revenge, then get back to me
3. The Diva's division. Seriously, some of these girls are so bad I'm afraid they are going to botch and legit hurt each other. WWE should either make the Divas valets, or bring in some actual wrestlers to carry these girls to decent matches (Gail Kim can't carry the division herself)

This is directed toward everyone, but more so the mid-card scene. The lack of character development in the mid-card is really preventing guys from ever getting pushed. They're not developing the mannerisms, signature moves, catchphrases, etc. to get over with the crowd. The crowd cannot identify with any of these characters, and their not being implemented into storylines where they can get the appropriate time to build these character. The presentation isn't their, the gimmicks aren't there, etc.
