movies/tv Things You Would Change In WWE

[Castle Bleck 19,376]

If you were somehow put in charge of the WWE, what changes would you make?

 

Only 1 that I can think of right now, and that's MAKING THE DIVAS NOT SUCK. Seriously, I can't tell you how many times I've either changed the channel or browsed YouTube out of boredom from a current-day Diva match.

I'd make it so that it wasn't fake.

 

When you actually put most professional wrestlers in a real fight, they are just the worst, wrestling is boring because it's not real fighting.

I find the "Divas" of the WWE are the "cheerleaders, heading up the pep rally" so to speak. It's sad, how there can never be a more serious women's wrestling division, but meh.

 

I'd personally have John Cena do a heel turn...maybe see, just who truly is a Cena fan. Back in the 90's when Hogan made his infamous heel turn, to form the NwO alongside Kevin Nash and Scott Hall, some fans, still cheered for him over the years...though I remember how much of a reaction the heel turn got at first...

 

I imagine, it'd be quite devasting to the "young fans" if Cena went heel...though the WWE could probably go back to being TV14, instead of the pathetic PG rating it is now. :|

[Megas 27,742]

Heel turn John Cena, he's incredibly boring at this point, and fans have been clamoring for a heel turn for a long time now, have him fight dirtier, don't make him win all the time

While I'm on the topic of John Cena, less of him. I get that he's the WWE's moneymaker, but this is one of their biggest problems. You can't rely on him forever, start pushing your younger talent(something they're apparently unable to do)

 

Less Shield

 

Make the titles more relevant. I haven't watched WWE in a while, but I have no idea what happened, but apparently the titles haven't had much of an impact last time I watched it. And since I'm talking about championships, bring back some of the old titles like the European Championship, Harcore, Cruiserweight, etc.

 

Make the Diva's division suck less

 

Better writers

 

Get rid of Vince, I know he's one of the bigger driving forces, but he just doesn't make good decisions anymore

[Mywas 687]

Give Drew and Tyson Kidd a Push, These two deserve it and deserve atleast to win a IC or Us title. Also turn Cena and Orton Heel Because they both suck as faces

[Castle Bleck 19,376]

@Megas75- It depresses the crap out of me to see WWE focus too much on their 2 main titles, while sending all the others down the john.

 

The worst indignity, however, was discontinuing the Cruiserweight Championship.........with HORNSWOGGLE as its last holder.

 

I'm beginning to think that King Sombra is among WWE's writing staff as a way to spread more hatred and fear.

I'm not sure they can really do much to fix the divas! I also came here to say that they needed to change them, but thinking about it I'm not really sure what they could do, appart from maybe give them some better story lines and not use them as a "look here boobs".

[Shanks 10,816]

Make the Diva's more than just glorified cheerleaders, one old champion named the Fabulous Moolah held the Diva's championship for 28 years which is even longer than Bruno Sammartino held that WWE Championship and he held that for nearly 8 years and held it for an addition 3 1/2 years after he lost and regained the championship which really says a lot about her. A little less of The Shield please, yes I know they are basically supposed to be the new NWO but really they have gotten so predictable and though they are tough I would like to see them win at least every now and then without cheating. Yes I know they are heels and heels cheat all the time but even the most infamous heels are at least able to win some of their matches without cheating once in a while.

 

A bit more Kofi Kingston would also be nice, yes I know he is out now due to an injury but after he lost the Intercontinental Championship to Wade Barret we hardly ever heard from him for a while until he won the United States Championship from Antonio Caesaro but once he lost that he was neglected again. Why does the Miz keep getting opportunity after opportunity for the intercontinental championship even though Kofi Kingston beat the crap out of him multiple times for the intercontinental championship?

[Castle Bleck 19,376]

@EarthbendingProdigy- I, too, am increasingly tired of the Shield coming out almost every week and triple-powerbombing somebody. It was cool the first few times, but they just don't seem to know when to say, "when," do they?

 

P.S.- The Nexus did it a whole lot better (destroying the arena, utterly humiliating John Cena, etc.)

Is the wwe stil pulling the tmz act? The last I saw the show, they were making the show into something you would find on tmz (which is why im not a fan of the show any more)

[Scootalove 10,689]

I would say, change the storylines and make them more interesting. Give the other titles more meaning other than the two main titles, Hire better Divas and actually make them worth something. No more new PPV names, bring back the old PPV names that aren't used anymore. Bring back all of the old titles that matter and, get a better creative team for the writing.

Admittedly, guys like Cody Rhodes and Antonio Cesaro seemed to be genuinely trying to restore meaning to the Intercontinental and United States Championships, respectively.

 

Which is why theirs were the only recent mid-card title reigns that were actually memorable for me.

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

Oh yes. Because it's fake, everything is planned ahead of time. I'd make it so that it is unpredictable and things happen sporadically. Yes, there will still be scheduled main events, but it won't be fake and the hits will actually land.   

[DJRainbowDash 724]

I'd like to change a couple of things....

 

1. Give more main event spots back to the World Heavyweight Championship. As of right now it is being treated as second rate to the WWE Championship, when not too long ago it was its equal. This could be done by maybe having a bigger name star win the belt like Punk or Cena. I would personally have Cena lose the WWE championship only to win the WHC one. Then have him feud with some of the midcard guys like Cody Rhodes, Damien Sandow, Antonio Cesaro, and so on, helping to move them up to the higher rankings and main event light.

 

2. Less reliance on scripts and more focus on merely giving a superstar bullet points onto what to talk about. You can tell watching that sometimes the stuff the writers in the back give some of the wrestlers to use is pretty awful, and it just sounds bad when a superstar is trying to make it sound good. Freedom in segments and promos should be allowed more, for example look at Mark Henry's segment. Rumors were that he wasn't scripted to go as in depth as he did, and the result was astounding. 

 

3. Bring back the Cruiserweight Championship. The WWE has a ton of guys who they could use as cruiserweights, like Sin Cara, Tyson Kidd, Mysterio, Evan Bourne, Justin Gabriel, Yoshi Tatsu, Zack Ryder, Primo, Epico, and Hunico. Bringing this title back gives a chance for all of these guys who haven't really gotten much attention at all (save Mysterio and Ryder somewhat) to go out and give the fans a high flying exciting match. It would be similar to the X Division in TNA.

 

4. Move the Elimination Chamber out from its February spot, and instead bring back King of the Ring and place it there. 

 

5. Give midcard talent meaningful feuds for the US title and Intercontinental title which the fans can back. Not everything has to be focused on the main event talent, and the product will only look better as a whole if they improve it as a whole which includes making storylines for all levels. This includes the divas especially. 

 

6. And speaking of the divas, have them cast more in a role with other superstars. Back a decade or so, many of them were paired with other guys in the back, so at least we saw them more and some developed interesting personalities. The only interesting divas right now are AJ and to an extent Kaitlyn. 

 

7. Vince needs to retire and let Triple H take the control he once had. People may not be too keen on HHH running the show, but remember, he is a man who spent many years wrestling full time in the business, so he knows exactly what is happening on the inside. 

 

8. Let the wrestlers create their own gimmicks, if they decide to create them, or have good ideas for ones. Don't stick a yodeling gimmick on a guy who is so talented like Cesaro, or a farting gimmick on perhaps the most talented diva in the WWE in Natalya. 

 

9. Better utilize the tag team tournament idea used not too long ago. They should try and establish more concrete teams like the Usos, as right now their isn't many believable teams for Rollins and Reigns. Don't tell me that Tons of Funk or 3MB present them a challenge at all. Push Rhodes Scholars, the Wyatts when the come up, maybe have Air Boom come back, etc. 

[Dark Qiviut 22,444]

1. Make the Diva matches worth watching. One big strength in the Ruthless Aggression ERA was the Divas wrestling. Lita, Trish Stratus, Victoria, and Molly Holly actually wrestled and did a great job at it. At one point several years ago, the Trish-Lita rivalry was so intense, it was the main event for the old Women's Championship, and still the best Divas match. Today, you're lucky if a Divas match doesn't suck. (The match between Kaitlyn and A.J. at Payback was actually quite decent.)

More wrestlers in the main event. John Cena, Ryback, and CM Punk are fine, likeable wrestlers, but they can't lead the pack all the time. Cena, especially, has been the face since 2005. If there's one thing the WWE hasn't done well, it's develop other talent in case guys like Cena get hurt. Wrestlers like Daniel Bryan, Dolph Ziggler, Jack Swagger, Alberto Del Rio, Wade Barrett, Kofi Kingston, Cody Rhodes, and Miz are all capable wrestlers who can hold their own.

Make the storylines more interesting. One great thing about the main event storylines from the Attitude Era (particularly the Stone Cold/McMahon and Rock/McMahon-Helmsley rivalries) interesting is the great writing.

More quality mid-card matches and feuds. Championships like the Intercontinental and U.S. Championships are mid-card titles, but they're meaningful titles dating back decades. Once in the old Wembley Stadium, the Intercontinental Title match was the main event. Instead of these titles being used as filler and insulting the legacy of these championships, make them worth something.

Instead of having these wrestlers read from a script, let the wrestlers loose with bullet points. You can obviously tell that wrestlers are reading from a script simply by the way they act, and it kills the mood. The wrestlers have the personality and know how to make it all worthwhile to the audience. The creative needs to trust the wrestlers, which you rarely see anymore.

[Castle Bleck 19,376]

@ Dark Qiviut - Speaking of former Divas, don't forget about Chyna, who frequently wrestled male superstars (most notably Mankind/Foley); now THAT was definitely pushing the envelope.

 

P.S.- I miss her, and all of those you just mentioned; they...were...MAGNIFICENT!!!

Why does the Miz keep getting opportunity after opportunity for the intercontinental championship even though Kofi Kingston beat the crap out of him multiple times for the intercontinental championship?

 

Kofi's also become more of a jobber lately, losing to people like Swagger, Henry, and even Barret...even at PPV's, he loses, which is stupid, cause the guy's talented enough, to earn some victories.

 

 

 

Heel turn John Cena, he's incredibly boring at this point, and fans have been clamoring for a heel turn for a long time now, have him fight dirtier, don't make him win all the time While I'm on the topic of John Cena, less of him. I get that he's the WWE's moneymaker, but this is one of their biggest problems. You can't rely on him forever, start pushing your younger talent(something they're apparently unable to do)

 

unfortunately, losing is never an option to Cena, and that's the message they're portraying to his fanbase...that "losing and failure is NOT an option"

 

the names of some of their PPV's aren't that great either...Over the Limit? Bragging Rights? Then of course, you've got PPV's named after matches like TLC, Hell in a Cell, Elimination Chamber...I mean, these aren't that great...and the fan reaction at EC back in Feb was beyond poor.

 

when they brought back Roadd Dogg for the Slammy's 2 years ago, the fans never gave much of a reaction at all...yet, Cena gets more of a reaction, than anyone else, which is pitiful...alot of the wrestlers from the attitude era, come out, and fans are like "...whut?" I know one time, Del Rio came out, and (he was a heel at the time) fans never booed...or cheered...or gave him the thumbs down or nothing...they just sat there, looking dumbfounded. it was a live segment too...not something, that happened after Raw went off the air.

I really wish they'd get rid of the generic match name PPVs, I always liked the names like "Vengeance, Backlash, Unforgiven, Bad Blood". And speaking of which, making an entire PPV featuring mostly Hell in a Cell matches is beyond idiotic and makes HiaC lose it's appeal of being a very rare occurence. Not to mention, the toned down violence makes it a lot less appealing

[Castle Bleck 19,376]

@ Avalionis & Megas75 - Admittedly, a pay-per-view named "Falls Count Anywhere" would be pretty epic; imagine every match just going all over the arena.

 

I actually dreamt about it last night (no joke); I remember thinking, 'Generic name or not, THIS IS AWESOME!!!'

 

Come on, WWE! At least give us this!

Not to mention, the toned down violence makes it a lot less appealing

 

yeah, HiaC just isn't what it used to be anymore...it was a match that supposedly changed or altered careers...now it's been reduced to kid friendly status...least Impact Wrestling hasn't gone down that route...yet. last I heard, they're still under the rating of TV14, and that's really what wrestling should be...it's not meant for children, yet parents couldn't find a sitter for them, or just can't be bothered to teach their kids right from wrong, so they blame wrestling, when their kids start imitating what they see...which is why John Cena is the "boy scout" of the WWE...trying to set a good example by playing "fair" and being the "good guy" if you will.

 

yet people are tired of this gimmick now...and who can blame them? he's been doing this for over 8 years of "playing fair" and the whole "hustle, loyality, respect" thing gets old too. and let's face it...people are "worried" about him losing the title to Mark Henry at MitB this Sunday? Don't be. There's no chance in hell, that Cena will lose...cause that would be a "terrible" thing for the little ones to witness...their "great and precious" hero losing a match, let alone the title.

 

Do I think Henry deserves the title? Yes. He's already held the ECW and World Heavyweight titles., and so far, there's only 3 others in the business that've held all 3 major titles. Kane, Big Show and C.M. Punk. Henry would be the fourth to do so...but it won't happen...cause like I said, they can't have their precious "boyscout" lose a match like this...especially after beating Ryback at Payback, in that Three Stages of Hell match.

 

Which leads me to another point...Cena has two signature moves...both of which, had their names changed, cause they didn't want kids to repeat what their names are...which is pathetic really. Attitude Adjustment just sounds dumb really...

[Castle Bleck 19,376]

Another change I just thought of would be to have Cena use this:

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSztm09Dlqs

 

...as a "backup" finisher to end some of his matches, especially as it looks so much more impactful and impressive than the F-U / Attitude Adjustment.

[AustinDJRobinsonPony 26]

I would fire all the divas so I can troll.

 

I would beat the living shit out of John Cena.

 

Kofi dervers to be WWE Chamption.

 

Daniel Byran to be the face of WWE.

 

Bring The Rock and Stone Cold back to WWE Full-Time.

 

Hulk Hogan would make a suprising return.

 

Make the show not PG. I'll make it TV-14.

 

And PG Era will die.

 

And the Attitude Era will return.

 

Teh end.

 

I'm a savior.

Though tbh randy Orton / Cena  feud was some of the best stuff that I have ever seen in my life ;D!

[Castle Bleck 19,376]

@TheDJPonyARKnight- And when Cena recovers, turn him heel (or at least tweener) and have him start using his diving leg-drop bulldog as a finisher. Also, have Hogan scoop slam Khali (remember their Hornswoggle-related meeting several years ago?); if Hogan's older body's not quite up to it, then give him protective/reinforcing padding or something.

I'll be honest, nothing.

 

Let's be fair, WWE has been around for a long time, and I was a fan of it back then, but most enjoy it for the time, and move on, changing it would alter the legacy of it, so I"d rather not do anything about it.

 

But for silly reasons, I guess some girl on girl action won't be bad for a pace. XD
