1. Bring back either the Attitude era or Winged Eagle Belt as the new WWE Championship belt. While I actually don't mind the spinner belt (or at least I don't hate it with an all-encompassing fury), I really didn't like the post-brand extension look of the WWE Championship belt.
2. Officially make the World Heavyweight Belt share lineage with the old WCW world championship belt... but not acknowledge either David Arquette's or Vince Russo's championships as legitamite title reigns. For all intents and purposes, the belt was vacated for their reigns.
3. Give John Cena near-complete creative control over his gimmick and persona (with final approval by me to make sure he doesn't do anything too drastic), and encourage him to be a more technical wrestler and to ease up on the five/six moves of doom.
4. Speaking of which, Cena loses the belt to Edge again and loses the rematch as he doesn't really need the belt to be over at this point. Somehow put RVD into the title picture and eventually push him to be WWE Champion after some truly amazing and exciting matches.
5. Let Mark Henry ride out the rest of his ten year contract working Velocity or lower-card SmackDown! matches. Then wish him the best in all his future endeavors
6. New stable on SmackDown! with the theme that all the members would represented America in some way. I'm thinking Kurt Angle as the stable leader, along with Lashley as the Enforcer. Throw in Charlie Haas and whoever is the US Champion at the time. Their rivals? Regal, Burchill, and Finlay, who would re-introduce the European Championship belt to rival the American-held US belt. This would be used to push mainly Lashley (along with giving him an actual gimmick!) and Burchill.
7. Let Paul London do what he does best in the ring instead of banning his moves, as he's no Juvi. Let him win Tag Team Championship with Kendrick and give both guys a big push. Hell, just remove all the recent bans on high flying and riskier moves in order to make matches a little edgier.
8. Wish Sharmell the best in all her future endeavors.
9. Move MNM to RAW after they lose the tag belts to London and Spanky. Have them somehow upset win against Big Show and Kane for the World Tag Team Belts.
10. Flair and Shelton put on a hell of an IC Title match, resulting in Shelton winning the belt back. Let him run with it and eventually push him to the WWE Championship level.
11. Give Kane a WWE Championship run that lasts for more than a day.
12. Send Masters back to OVW so he can clean up in the ring. If he can't, he gets the future endeavors line, too.
13. Live firing of Johnny Ace during Wrestlemania. During which he will be presented with 'Taker's medical bills should he be infected with Bob Orton's hepatitis which Ace knew about but let Orton bleed around 'Taker at Armageddon anyway. This will be a complete shoot. If there's Ace backlash, I will join Mr. Calloway in suing Ace to pay the bills.
14. Rey vs. Benoit vs. Angle Triple Threat for the WHC Title at Wrestlemania.
15. Introduce a WWE Television Championship belt on RAW to complement the European belt on SmackDown! This would be used to push lower-card wrestlers like Cade, Murdoch, Conway, etc.
16. I will make CM Punk the next big star.

A few firings.
A few rehirings.
Push some rehirings.
Id give Benoit another good, WHC run.
Let cruiserweights do what they do best. No holding back.
Give the wrestlers freedom in their characters. Attitude era style.
Not break up any teams via the draft.

- Make the Women's & Tag titles interpromotional.
- Bring back the Hardcore title & make it interpromotional too.
- Put the WWE Superstars who are more Sports Entertainment oriented on Raw & put the WWE Superstars who are more wrestling based on Smackdown.
- Fire all the divas except for Trish, Mickie, Lita & Victoria. Then beg Molly, Jazz, Nadia & Gail Kim to come back. After that, build up the women's division with women who can ACTUALLY wrestle.
- Put Smackdown back on Thursday @ 8
- Allow Heyman to book Smackdown & put Eric Bischoff on the Raw creative staff. He can't be any worse than Stephanie or Vince Russo.
- Allow the wrestlers more say in what their characters do, but don't let them get to the point where they have as much control as HHH or HBK.
- Acknowledge that there was a WWE before 2001.
- Fire Jerry Lawler & Michael Cole. On Raw, hire Jimmy Bower to do Play-by-Play & have Jonathan Coachman be the heel color commentator. On Smackdown, replace Joey Styles with Michael Cole & have Tazz as the neutral color commentator.
- Don't allow HHH to reach 16 WHC runs.
- Hire ECW Ring Announcer Bob Ortiz (I think that's who it is... Was he the guy with the curly hair & glasses? Cause that's who I mean) to replace stupid Tony Chimel. For both PPV's, have the Fink announce each match.
- Be a little more lenient with the Safe Style. Keep it in tact, but if the wrestler has been around awhile & has a record for keeping his opponents safe, let him be a be a little more creative with his moveset. If the guy is green, botches moves left & right & hurts people, intensify the Safe Style on them.
Bah, that's it for now.

hmmm...in order here's where I'd make my changes
1) Replace Lawler with Gertner amd Coach with Al Snow
2) Setup a long arcing "lethal lottery" tag tourney
3) Bring back Wargames, if only for one night
4) Webcast OVW and DSW in the place of Velocity/Heat
5) Rename "The Dicks" back to "The Tolands" [i'm a big Tank Toland fan]
6) Drop the IC title, replace it with a TV Title...mabey even run it like OVW's title, no belt just a check for the winner
7) Admit Failure at bringing in any new viewers, even turning away some of the fad-fans
8) Sell off the company to a random millionare/billionare and retire to my computer and bitch about how i could make the company a million times better than the current product
meh at least im realistic

Post by Aceorton on Feb 1, 2006 4:53:29 GMT -5
My 11-and-a-half-point plan, typed and handed to Vince:
1. Negotiate with the panda people and end this WWE garbage once and for all. Bring back the WORLD WRESTLING FEDERATION and start from scratch with tournaments to decide one unified WWF title, one IC/U.S. title, one set of tag belts, etc. Champs appear on both Smackdown and Raw.
2. The era of "TV writers" is over. Install a non-McMahon head booker (probably Heyman) with one or two assistants, and a Pat Patterson-type figure (Arn? DiBiase? Steamboat?) who can help work out psychology, spots and finishes. Give the bookers a MINIMUM of one year to make changes before even considering replacing them. Do not stand for wrestlers attempting to go over the bookers' heads.
3. Only one backstage skit per show. It's lazy and it's been beaten to death. Put the performers in front of live crowds without any scripted lines and make it THEIR JOB to get their feuds and angles across meaningfully. Push the ones with poise and charisma whom the crowds seem to care about.
3a. The ones who have a harder time on the stick? Pretend it's 1986. Give them managers.
4. No more GMs or commissioners -- just Mr. McMahon as the Evil Boss, and in limited amounts unless he's feuding with someone specifically. Steph and Linda may appear on TV twice a year at most. Shane may show up more frequently if it furthers a storyline.
5. No more cookie-cutter wrestlers with "normal" names who all have the same gimmick: ripped physique, short hair, constant smirk. Stress individuality. Involve wrestlers in the process of dreaming up their own, original personas that allow them to stand out as something special.
6. No more Lawler. And Tazz, put down the headset and start suplexing people.
7. The term "Diva" will never be used again, and all female workers, even those with Playboy centerfold potential, must have completed wrestling training and spent at least one year in OVW.
8. Take the "big three" of locker room icons (HBK, Triple H and Undertaker) and pair each in a program with an up-and-comer who has connected with the fans. (This can be as an opponent, tag partner, protege, etc.) Challenge the three big names to spend the next 9-12 months making a top-level star of the person they have been paired with, for the good of the business. If they refuse, they will be considered detrimental to the company and removed from TV, regardless of who they are and how long they've been on top. If they cooperate, they will continue to enjoy main-event programs.
9. Plan for LONG title reigns to reinforce the validity of the championships and make it a real event when a belt changes hands.
10. Hogan has wrestled his last match. Ditto for Piper and Lawler. Flair's last hurrah is sometime in 2006.
11. The Internet doesn't have all the answers (or even most of them), but the Internet is not your enemy.

1) No more Divas. A new women division will evetually see the light after some years of buildup. Two or three girls of the current roster will stay as valets, but won't get involved too much in angles.
2) Only one Tag Team Championship, with a competent tag division. No more impromptu teams with random superstars. Back to tag team specialists.
3) IC and US title must be meaningful and a credible stepping stone, not second rate belts for wrestlers with nothing better to do.
4) Longer feuds-storylines in the midcard. 3-4 ways feud for the Titles to avoid the "Cena-Angle #1475" syndrome.
5) Slow and scientifical buildup for main-eventers, no more pushes to the moon and flavour of the week.
6) More gimmick, not in the 80s sense, but more personality and difference is needed. Enough already with "cocky chiseled guy 45, generic hoss 71, default cruiserweight 34"
7) Less control over promos and wrestling style.
8) Kayfabe II: Revenge. No more shootish promos/angles: everything going on air is STRICTLY work. Time to draw a line between reality and show.
9) Clear roles for wrestlers: the different shades of gray generated enough confusion and troubles. Shoving somebody down the crowd's throat isn't the solution, but the crowd need to be "guided" instead of letting them have their way.
10) The ring is the place to settle down the issues. Wrestling should be the main focus of the show.

I have another one....
WWE needs another character like Stone Cold circa 1997 or so. I'm not talking a replica, but a character with a heel's attitude that is a loner and wrestles both faces and heels.
The way Stone Cold was booked before Owen broke his neck was brilliant, IMO. He could wrestle any face on the roster, and still be good enough to have a good match with heels. When was the last time you saw a heel vs. heel match in WWE? Stone Cold was good enough to keep the fans interested. WWE needs a character like that today.

- Hire ECW Ring Announcer Bob Ortiz (I think that's who it is... Was he the guy with the curly hair & glasses? Cause that's who I mean) to replace stupid Tony Chimel. For both PPV's, have the Fink announce each match. Actually, I think a better person to replace Chimel would be the man in your avatar -- MR KENNEDY! I seriously think he should be tine ring announcer while he is injured.

i feel that many things have got to be done so that the wwe can have the longevity that they want.
for instace the creative team i'm thinking for
raw= Paul Heyman and Jake Roberts hopfully he can stay straight. smackdown=Vince russo and Eric Bischoff with Vince McMahon as a creative filter
Brodcast team raw= Jim ross and tazz smackdown= Joey styles and the king
keep cole and coach as backstage interviwers
no McMahons on the crative team the only roll they should play is as a final aproval i cant stand stephanie as a creative head because she only has triple h's best intrest in mind.
i feel that they should unify all belts and have them on all programs if they have to unify the us and intercontental into a tv thats cool.
i feel the follwing stars sould be realased Sharmell chloe sheltons momma tyson tomco or at lest give him an actuall program with snitsky masters all non wrestling divas unless they go down to ovw for a year or two maria todd grisham steve romero joey matthews mark henry idk why the kept that wothless person on for so long their must have had a realease clause in his contract. the heart thobs the sprit sqad simon dean or make him nova
bring back matt morgan in a better roll nathan jones in a better roll billy gunn the dudleys with all of the realeases that i mentioned they should have the money to pay them christian give him his rightfull push y2j x-pac road dogg the blue meanie have the bwo a mainstay
stop pissing stone cold off that guy brought in a new generation of fans to the wwe
bring some ecw blood in to the company i dont cre if they cant wrestle their name has value I.E. sandman
do everthig humanly possible to get bret even if vince and hbk have to swallow alot of pride hell they both will kiss hogans ass any day.
if they want the interview segments i sugesst pipers pit and the brother love show people love nostalgia and i think that a new generatin of fans would apreciate it
i like the highlight reel too
i think that the rock should be on at least doing the undertaker schedule.
give hardcore holly a title run
whet the hell happend to benoit push oh yeah they gave it to cena
i have an idea push benoit squash cena
i like the gm role but i would like to see
Raw= Paul Heyman Smackdown=Dusty Rhodes with some visits by Mr.McMahon on both shows
stop burying smackdown. if i think of anything else i will post it

keep the champions as they are for the moment. have shelton beat flair at a house show so house shows seem like they're something you can't miss.
playout the trish and mickie storyline more, but have ashley play the "devil" on trish's shoulder. mickie could be the angel and the two could feud over trish or whatever. have candice and victoria become a somewhat decent tag team and fire torrie wilson. however, chole gets to stay and go with the spirit squad.
tag team division: clearly, i'm going to put the straps on the heart throbs. don't act surprise. but have them slowly earn their way, example: win a match against big show and kane by DQ. then win by count out. then eventually at wrestlemania, have them win by pin.
continue cena\edge by having lita eventually turn on edge and go back to the women's division, maybe helping out ashley.
