Unpredictability. All the best storylines are the ones you don't see coming, thus making each show a must see. Anytime it becomes too obvious is when the viewers start tuning out. What's the point of watching every show when you can skip weeks of episodes and come back without really missing a thing?

A major competitor so WWE stops phoning it in for once.

A realistic, down to earth show... that's completely off the wall and swarming with magic robots. and you should win stuff by watching. "You kids don't know what you want! That's why you're still kids: 'cause you're stupid!"

Ice cream bars and maybe tables, they're the only things the majority of fans agree on.

I kinda liked it when the World Champions weren't constantly wrestling. IC and Tag Title main events is what I liked. Watching World Champions was a BIG DEAL once upon a time. Now days, if you don't see them in the ring for 15 minutes every show, I see complaints. Unless Cena is the champ.
Although I'll admit that most people probably don't want this.

Different things.
There is no ONE thing that everyone would agree on, be it IWC or the fanbase at large.
I've always thought Mick Foley's "three ring circus" analogy was really smart and apt in that regard.

-A midcard I can care about
-Tag teams that stay together for more than 3 months and aren't used as jobbers for singles guys
-No more Cole/Lawler
-Divas given something to do

I would like a copy of your newsletter. Wrestling needs to be a three ring circus, it needs range. As much as I enjoy WWE right now (bonus points for adding a tag division) they need to continue to build a full midcard, not a pseudo midcard which has either jobber to the star types or complete jobbers in the same bracket.

What's the point of watching every show when you can skip weeks of episodes and come back without really missing a thing? $5 says that some time this month, a diva's match will end in a roll-up, John Cena will no-sell a beating, Dolph Ziggler will eat a Brogue Kick, and Triple H will cut an in-ring promo at the start of the show. I can see why you went as low as $5; no one would bet on it if it were higher because they know this will actually happen.

I think one of the hardest things to do in fiction generally is find that sweetspot between unpredictability and "making sense". I lean towards wanting unpredictability too but I think there's just as many people who complain when the story doesn't go the way they think it's supposed to.

I'd like to see the World Championships unified, and the building of a proper midcard. We don't really need two World Titles. "The Adventures of John Cena" as well as the Bryan/Punk/AJ storyline to a certain point have shown us that the writers ARE capable of writing compelling storylines without championships. Also, I'd like to see individual members of tag teams receiving singles pushes without having to break the team up. Inverse to that effect, give singles wrestlers a regular tag team partner because most of the time they end up in tag matches anyway. For example, have Zack Ryder & John Cena teaming up more often. Likewise, have Alex Riley tag teaming with CM Punk. like back in the late eighties, early 90's; if Rick Rude was having a tag match his partner would be Mr. Perfect, if Tito Santana was having one he'd probably be teaming with Virgil

-Tag teams that stay together for more than 3 months and aren't used as jobbers for singles guys I wish tag teams stay together for longer than three months, however there are two sides to this coin. Guys like Matt & Jeff Hardy won their multiple singles titles both during and after their run as a team. While I want tag team guys to get singles pushes, certain teams like The Usos and the Colons don't have such an upside. Titus O'Neil & Darren Young are a team, but they have individual personalities and I can see either of them as IC or U.S. Champion. Hunico is used for both Singles & Tag action. It would be better to have a Jimmy Uso be fed to Tensai than it would be to job a Zack Ryder, an Alex Riley (although the two of them could make a pretty good tag team), a Tyson Kidd, or a Derrick Bateman (who doesn't even get to job much because he's terribly underutilized). Those teams however, can easily gain/regain their momentum by racking up wins in tag matches.

There's just one segment I really want to see...
Booker T: DAMIEN SANDOW, WE COMIN' FOR YOU N****!
Sandow: Be it symbolically, or genetically, I am by no means, your n****.

The fans don't know what they want... But, if they did and they got what they wanted. They would be right here complaining about it.
