I would take back Vince Russo before I would take back Vince McMahon and I believe a Russo like person in booking (similar enough philosophies) is required for this show to be interesting.
Otherwise you end up watching a touring wrestling show that realistically feels like indie shows with consistent TV time and better production.
I want to watch a TV show with wrestling in it. Not a wrestling show that is amazing when you're there in person, but across the 52 weeks is quite bland and boring.
I'm basically watching people have fun these days. Commentary is off because the way they're watching it is similar to the fans in attendance. Nothing feels like it matters to them. They're not living breathing characters. They're guys that happen to be employed. It has the urgency of a podcast 9/10 times.
You then have that same energy being fed to fans because they wanna have a good time, and I don't blame them, but if you have ever been to a pantomime, booing the bad guy is all a part of the fun. I get people wanna do what they want, but I'll take somethibg like The Rock in 03. Completely entertaining, but "sing along with The Rock is over" is something a guy like Seth needs to put into practice. These people did not like you - be selfish, tell them they don't deserve to woah to your song and get on with being a bad guy.
Stop trying to pop the live crowd, which muddies the characters on the otherside cause faces now look stupid when they're taking L's to wrestlers that were also cheered earlier in the night.
