I'd give full creative controll of ECW to heyman and send it to a network with an Teen or R rating. Wrestling for adults.
I'd make smackdown more like WcW, a real strong cruiserweight division and a place for the older established stars to shine (Angle, Regal, Finlay, Undertaker, HBK, HHH, Batista, etc) together with some young guys who can learn a lot from them. Just focuse on the wrestling and the big names would make for good storylines by themselves.
RAW would be the place were people right in their prime could wrestle (jericho, CM punk, Cena, Orton, Kennedy, edge, Christian, etc) and focus more on dramatic storylines. Like WWE did in 97-2001.
So we got the best of 3 worlds, ECW, WCW en WWF.

I'd be the evil owner character that constantly makes his wrestlers literally kiss my ass in order to keep their jobs or screws over the ones who stand up to me.
Wait, that sounds a little familiar...
Nah, it's new! it's fresh! aaaahhhhhh!

I'll let all possible talented wrestlers to show their true talents and will hire better writers in the creative team so we have interesting fueds and storylines. Being a HHH/Steph fan, I'd like to start the MH era again.

Serious answer is loooooooooong serious:
* Make sure everyone has something to do. Some character, some angle, some reason for the fans to care about 'em. * Accentuate strengths, hide negatives. More managers would help out here. * EXPAND the brand split. Unify the World and WWE championships, IC/US become top Raw/SD belts, ECW stays out of it entirely, unified champion floats, as do tag, cruiser and women's champs. Raw and Smackdown start getting into little skirmishes at PPV's, ECW takes potshots whenever they bloody well feel like it. * Bring back King of the Ring as a PPV as well, giving the winner the right to float at will for a year. At first announce it only as Raw/SD, but after ECW starts sniping at qualifiers, the bracket gets reworked as a one-night tournament. Semifinals and finals on the PPV, each brand gets four entrants, final's a three-way dance. Basically to elevate a midcarder, throw a B-level Undisputed Championship defense (think Lesnar/Bob Holly) on there and everyone's happy. * Possibly an SnS Enterprises invasion... more on this to come. * Hire a creative continuity consultant to make sure that things like Mysterio's return from hell don't happen, or to at least bring up to creative that there should be a reason two mortal enemies are tagging together just a few months later.

Bring back Heat or Velocity to replace AM Raw. On those shows, almost every week you got a damn good match with under appreciated wrestlers.
Give Kendrick the US Title.
Move some HUGE names to ECW; someone like Randy Orton, Rey Mysterio, or Big Show holding the ECW Championship might make it credible again.

Well, I would start off by cutting the fat away.
Then make it more of the sport part of the "sports entertainment" phrase, meaning more action, and less of the crappy promos that makes no sense or that doesn't add anything to the story lines.
Make the Diva division more like the Knockout division.
Make the Cruiser-weights relevant, and give them more air time.
Make the Tag Team division relevant, and establish teams again (and more then just 2), and not just have a bunch of teams that are main eventers that are put together to face the champions because the main eventers are feuding.
More to come......

I would do my damndest to hire AJ Styles
I would hire Scott Steiner to write promos for everyone
I would hire Scott Hall as an announcer or other non wrestling personality.

I'd make Curry Man the official mascot of the WWE. I'd send him to award shows, loan him out for birthday parties & weddings, and get him a record deal for some reason.

- Change the hiring process. From talent relations on down to the developmental training, I'd give this entire department an enema. Developmental is a joke and it's pathetic that guys aren't grasping how to do *any* styles correctly. When your best developmental guys get most of their wrestling education from indies and foreign federations, that means developmental isn't getting the job done.
- Go all in with a drug testing program. No more of the hypocrisy, half-truths, and nepotism. Stop sending the message that the easiest way to be given an opportunity for a premier spot on the roster is to be jacked to the gills.
- I'd cut down on house shows and turn about half of them into meet and greet sessions. It's a chance for the marks to sit down and talk to their favorite wrestlers, while the wrestlers can do work without having to always put their bodies on the line. I'd still want there to be plenty of actual in-ring work for the wrestlers (so that the new blood can continue to learn how to work), but I'd make sure that they wouldn't be killing themselves on some meaningless event.

Give everyone horrible gimmicks, except for Kenny Dykstra, Funaki, Val Venis, Gavin Spears, Scotty Goldman, Ryan Braddock, Dolph Ziggler, and Charlie Hass whom I push to the main event.
I'm curious to see how long I'd stay in business with that.

Vince doesn't make billions. Its hard to say if he's an actual billionaire at all. Same old "internet people" jargon; never minded that many, many wrestlers and promotors, people in the actual business, disagree with many things that Vince does. But, all hail our conquering hero. Oh, please, allow me to apologise on not knowing the exact figures on what he himself earns per annum; and having said that, I didnt even say per annum in my original post anyway. I could have meant over a series of years. And yeah, let people in the business whine and complain, it's their choice, they have the right to an opinion on whether they think something is good or bad the same way everyone does, but at the end of the day, like myself (although not even close to his extent), he's a businessman, working for his own business and wanting to make money, and as long as he's doing that, Im sure he sleeps happy. Fine, but the way you make it sound is that he has billions upon billions of dollars and use it to make a pot shot at internet fans, just like hundreds of others. Geez, I get it: I'm nobody, Vince is the greatest, yadda yadda yadda. Vince is an incredibly gifted business man who has, through hard work, created a world wide brand that creates great entertainment. But, he has his flaws like anyone else and many people, people who are far closer to the business than we are, have problems with him. He's human and so are the people that he associates himself with. The attitude that many people have is that he cannot do wrong: I question that attitude. Making money is not necessarily the be all, end all of something: things have to grow, companies have to get better, performers have to get sharper. Improvement always is something to strive to, whether or not you're in the lowest Indy promotion or the largest wrestling company in the world. The product's great, but it could be better; if you aren't in it for improving yourself, than what are you in it for? I just dislike it that so many people look at his success as proof that the man shouldn't be criticized and is fine doing what he does; having that attitude, you can never get better in any field your in. In fact, the greatest, most successful companies should have the highest standards, standards that get higher and higher as their success grows. Moreover, people use that to dress down anyone who disagrees with their view. Its like any company: it can always get worse, it can always get better. If it can never change, than its perfect and nothing in life is perfect. I love the product but I think it can be even better. Hell, I'm sure Vince would love for the company to make even more money, and I bet he scrutinizes the product in ways we can never understand or to a degree that we couldn't imagine. He would be a fool not to: the great businessmen, the great artists, the great athletes and performers, they revel when they do great but they always seek to do better.

If I took ANY of the ideas here, I'd be the one who'd put WWE out of business.
Simply put, I would just cut the number of days on the road.
Drop just one PPV and make it a televised special.
And I would consider bringing in indie wrestlers, but on my terms. And I will use them however they would best work. Which is on a mass scale of 10,000 people a night, and not 300 fans who scour the internet night and day.
But that's if I owned it.
Proceed.

I'd get everyone on the roster, divas and all, in the middle of the ring, stand on the top turnbuckle and say in a Vincelike voice, "YOU'RE....FIREEEEEEDDD!!!" I would do this at WrestleMania and piss off all the fans. Only it would be for real.
Then I'd hit the NWA and TNA and the Indies and grab all their top talent and utilize them in the way they deserve.
I'd make Brooke Hogan my woman's champ. Since her singing career is going nowhere she may as well follow in daddy's footsteps.
