... apologies for the title, the heat is zapping my usually punny ways.
Right:
By some happening, you get put into a position of power at WWE. Not for long, but long enough to set into place 3 changes, which are guaranteed to be enforced for the next two years.
What would you pick, and why?
1: Stop all the foreshadowing of events by commentators and go-home shows.
We've all seen it: last Raw before a PPV, the Hot Face lays his rival to waste in the ring, with the announcers declaring something like "X is going to be unstoppable come Sunday!"
And we all know, 9/10 times, it means "No, X won't. He'll fall just short, but hey - here's a little bit of what you WON'T SEE."
Because we already can predict the outcome, we care less about what happens.
Suprise us: have an announcer be actually right for a change!
2: Remember what the second W stands for.
I think with the slow handing over of the reins to HHH, this aspect is, and will continue to improve in-ring.
It's outside the ring I want to look at:
Its always seemed to me from a writing aspect that WWE tends to discriminate more against writers who DO have a lifelong interest in wrestling.I can make a logical jump as to why they might like a soap opera writer, with the "serial drama" aspect of it.
But their continual treatment of "marks" as writers confuses me.
It's like Pepsi employing a quality control tester who hates the taste of the stuff.
I'm not suggesting q "let the inmates run the asylum" approach. But, a couple of writers with a lifelong interest with wrestling could give a decent fan perspective on things.
Also - Matt Striker did not need to be fired. The man LOVES wrestling.
Yes, he's too smarky for the main demographic. But Styles got accomodated on the website. And with their proposed network coming up, he could easily have been given something to do there.
3: Evolution, not Revolution.(Alan Partridge, represent)
Brock, Rock, RVD, etc.
All short term solutions to a long term problem.
With The Shield, Wyatts, Ryback et al starting off a period of a few fresh faces in WWE, it'd be nice to see one of the part time warriors (Jericho excluded, he already gets it) elevate someone who could use that little nudge up to the top table.
NOT Rock losing the belt to Cena, and just going back to movies.
NOT Big Bad Brock coming in, and Cena just scraping by.
And you guys...
