I dunno, I feel like John Cena's the dancing monkey that he is because someone figures he's got to be or the little boys won't listen to a word he says. I think that's just a flawed perception issue based on some of the fluttering helicopter parents that make up my milquetoast generation right now. Funnily enough MORE children actually watched WWE during Austin's run collectively. More kids actually watched RAW during its TV14 phase. It's become this urban legend today that kids are the main demo. They're not. By a significant numerical degree. They're just the one's that WWE courts in hopes of "hooking" them for life and retraining them from scratch over the (jaded) generation who remembers a far more functional time. Which is frustrating, since today it's pretty much "You'll have the chicken fried steak Cena and you WILL LIKE IT!" (with the occasional side-forays into Orton, Punk, and Bryan), when it wasn't during the Attitude Era. If you didn't like Austin, you had DX. If you didn't like DX, you had The Rock. If you didn't like Rock, you had The Undertaker. If you didn't like him, you had Mick Foley. And if by the grace of God you were such a curmudgeon that you hated ALL OF THEM, you had The Hardyz, Edge/Christian, Too Cool, The Dudleyz... So many more people were treated as valuable, important parts of the show than are now, so you almost never got stuck with a favorite who never got TV time or was treated as a complete afterthought (unless your favorite was TAKA Michinoku...)

So I'm the only way who wants Latino super hero John Cena? Just have him rip-off Eddie's gimmick and let him believe he's the hero of the Mexican people.

They're just the one's that WWE courts in hopes of "hooking" them for life and retraining them from scratch over the (jaded) generation who remembers a far more functional time. Which kids are they trying to hook? The product I look at really does tell me they're falling all over themselves to get little boys exclusively. Which is a thing they need to stop and they really should've stopped it years ago (which would've meant they'd have been ahead of the curve for once). If I wanted an audience that's loyal and I wouldn't have to fight 1,841 different properties to court, I'd go and try to seriously cater towards the little girls, not cater to little boys and just expect the girls to follow. I mean, as a fan I know the difference between a show that's just throwing me a bone for me to be "grateful" and a show that has someone like me in mind at the basic level, you know? For as long as I've watched the WWE it's the former. So I guess I'd definitely try to be more inclusive as far as who gets storylines and play goes. "One Face To Rule Them All" has either got to stop altogether or that face has got to change periodically.

Well first off, I would hire, fire, job out then turn John Cena. Then I would trade Randy Orton to Street Fighter EX for Skullomania and transmogrify Xavier Woods into a ukelele.
The real answer though? WSX caliber explosions, all day every day.

Well if I ran WWE...
John Cena: Ultimate Troll
He would do random trollish things for the hell of it like pulling peoples tights down while they're doing backstage interviews, doing other peoples moves and finishers and appearing during a MitB match just to push someone off the ladder for no reason.
He would also constantly come out to other peoples music just to mess with the fans.
His shirt would be a picture with his grinning face on it with "Problem?" Written underneath.
Daniel Bryan: Hobo
After being fired by the authority he becomes homeless. Whenever they do a segment where they show the outside of the arena you would see him standing next to a flaming trash can in raggy clothes.
Every week there would be shenanigans with him trying to get past security and into the arena.
Alberto Del Rio: Mexican Scrooge McDuck
Ricardo would return but as Del Rio's butler. He would have 3 Mexican midget wrestlers as nephews called Hugo, Diego and Lisandro instead of Hewey, Dewey, and Louie. They would wear Green, White and Red for the colours of the Mexican flag.

I'd book Radio Clash on a date with Cena so he can finally get it out of his system.

Womens First Blood Match, heel plans at during the face's time of the month. I think this would be my lead storyline going in to Mania.
I would have Big E just body slam people until he gets a K.O., that would be his only move. CM Punk becomes a pimp, his interviews take place infront of the Diva's locker room, he comes out with a big fur coat and gold chains.
Full Blown Self Aware HHH, Like 911, he just randomly comes out and pedigrees a random midcarder/person in line for a push. Does the shovel dance, the entire time.
...I would bring back ECW Vince too, It was too perfect, have him randomly slap midcarders and book them in matches. Ends every promo with "git, git, git"

Unify US/IC belts. Make SD the home of the IC champ so he can get exposure/main event TV time rather than just be some random ham and egger who comes out holding something shiny to complete non consequence.

I wouldn't give Cena an Edge, I would replace him with a hologram of Edge.

Also, just like I would if I was running TNA, I would be embezzling money like a motherf***er.

Fire all the white people EXCEPT Cena, since he's not allowed to be fired.
Force the 4 person commentary team of Alicia Fox, Daivari, Ayako Hamada, and Primo to go on and on and on about DIVERSITY until some TV watchdog organization finally feels guilty enough to give me an award for it.

I would try to have a bit more parity between wrestler positions on the card.
They're going to be wrestling each other alot. They have to, there's too many PPVs now to go back to jobber squashes.
As such, there'd be less "this guy is midcard, he can only beat this brief list of wrestlers. Everyone below that doesn't appear on RAW" and a bit more unpredictability instead on who wins. We can still have favorites, but Del Rio beating Kofi 14 times in a row does nothing for ADR, does nothing for Kofi, and does nothing for the fans.
Sandow should be able to cheat in a match and beat Daniel Bryan.
Cody Rhodes should be able to hit a surprise finisher on Randy Orton and win.
Not enough to where there's no top guys, but it should happen enough that people are vested in the match so they can be excited about a match outcome.

I would appreciate WWECW style parity, where anybody can be credible because nobody is booked as a super-colossus.
