    yeah but the only reason for that was surely because the roster draft was announced a week before that and people watched for the curiosity factor .

    its a bit of a thinker.

    1. give wrestlers enforced breaks of 1 month a year. make them take these breaks. obviously they would be staggered so the product goes on 365.

    2. get rid of brian gewirtz tbh. id be inclined to let bischoff book or at least co -write raw. and for gods sake have
    paul heyman
    back on tv

    3. do away with all possible links between raw and sd. make the brand split as realistic as possible or theres no point to it.

    4. Make use of the large tape library. They are bringing in this new video on demand thing. but their wcw tape library has a limited shelf life imo. they need to start producing high quality- big disc sets like the flair one. not like the monday night wars one.

    5. do not start introducing more ppv's - at least not yet. the single brand ppvs arent strong enough yet, dont drive away people who see themselves as being ripped off by too many ppvs, or stop caring as they dont see these ppv's.

    6. use the brand specific divisions a lot more to create a differant feel to each show. cruisers on sd, hardcore / womens on raw.

    7. stop offering inflated contracts to people like goldberg/ steiner. wwe's 2 last big signings have imo both flopped. they need to concentrate on building stars in ovw. (and stop not signgin aj styles's)

    8. As ive said before have a yearly 2 week, trade period, starting at WM to give that ppv extra spice.

    9. more big ppvs/any ppvs abroad. there is a huge uptapped market that mostly only gets 1 or 2 house shows a year.

    thats all i can think of for now. more later.

    1.Let heyman on the creative team

    2.move the cruiser weights up to at least 3rd or4 th matches on the card and allocate them a proper amount of time

    3.create a proper tag division

    4.Shoot big show and a train

    5.push rvd

    6.use the former ecw guys in a real and proper way

    7.Dont sign aj styles or low ki cause you will only **** them up and not use them

    8.sign teddy hart to feud with rey(i know he is an asshole but he has talent)

    9.stop shoving orton down our throats...too much exposure too fast

    10.never let a mcmahon on t.v. again

    they are doing a good job but id

    let benoith hold the title for a long time use

    hhh to bost younger talent and get him out of the title picture

    use heat and volocity as full wrestling shows that bild storylines not just show raw and sd,

    enifise more on humer

    bring back vinny ruso and use him right

    dont let wrestlers do any writing

    USE THE TITLES AVAILABLE they dont need more they need to use the ones they have

    give tag teems a reasion for being together

    dont bring in any more talent without a background to them or a caracter (this druned the basiams, noble, spanky, lundan, betasta, and others for mounts, we need a reasion to get behind someone

    and if im vinny mac id f**k torey stacey and sable or they are fired

    i wouldve thought amazing red could give rey a run for his money, and the 718 thing is a perfect fued starter


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,929 ✭✭✭raven136


    very true..i didnt think of him.I really am surprise that Teddy Hart has not been signed by wwe

    If i was Vinny Mac.

    1) Bring in AJ Styles, make sure Heyman is on the creative for SD and make sure he gets used right

    2) At least CONSIDER taking the cruiserweight situation more seriously.

    3) Have Brian Gewirtz, Michael Hayes and Vince Russo all work at their local k-marts.

    4) Make proper use of their back catalogue.

    5) Bury the idea of ECW once and for all. They screwed it up the first time, they'll screw it up again. It they bring back ECW, 1) it'll never be as it was and 2) they'll end up injuring their workers at an alarming rate just like they did two years ago.

    6) Keep the womens division on one brand.

    7) Do something DRASTICALLY with their tag division, it's in the worst condition i've ever seen it in.

    8) Send Cripple H to Smackdown, at least it'll be something new, i'd say let him boost younger talent but he seems to be taking the hint regarding Benoit.

    9) Do something better with their undercard, O'Haire, Rhyno, hell even Orlando Jordan could work wonders if they were used correctly.

    10) Never hire Brock Lesnar, Bill Goldberg and Nathan Jones again as they proved to be complete waste of money in the long run, and from a company standpoint, ya have to say DOWN WITH THIS SORT OF THING!
