Here's a random thought... If the network is looking for more violence, how about cutting back on the story building and the in-ring talks and the backstage interviews, and try adding some more... y'know... wrestling? There’s plenty of lengthy wrestling matches each week. I’d prefer the story building. They do lack a star to draw the casuals/majority in, there's no Cena/Rock/Austin/Hogan/Savage/Bret/Eddie to draw peoples interest in

You think they'll ever get desperate enough to change the name of the show entirely as a way of saying, "It's a new era for real this time!!!"? Not that it'd matter if it's booked the same, but it's something I've thought about.

The Snyder Cut of Raw: where Drew McIntyre says “f***”. The Raw and SmackDown rivalry is ended when Ryker and Blake realize they both used to team with a guy named Murphy. Raws asthetic will be changed from red to black

Ahhhh, so they want the DC Film Universe WWE. I’d say they are going to bring in Zack Snyder..... however I doubt Vince knows who that is.

Lana gets hooked on caffeine pills. Rod McMahon promises the roster a white water rafting trip but backs out to go on a date with a waitress. Drew Mcintyre takes in a homeless family. Lana Spano = Ratings

Dark and violent? After all these year, RAW Underground resurgence! I have a concussion. I've suffered enough.... So, RAW Underground is most likely coming back.

They do lack a star to draw the casuals/majority in, there's no Cena/Rock/Austin/Hogan/Savage/Bret/Eddie to draw peoples interest in And yet everyone is "the future of the company", "the future of the division", "The future of the women's division"... it was said in another thread that there's no stars now.

I wanted to watch unruly, shouty muscular men duke it out week by week. They had odd names like "Macho Man" or "Stone Cold" and distinct personalities and a purpose, and long, drawn out stories. Imagine if "Rocky" was not discernable from his copy and paste opponents, was called Robert Balboa, had no character development, wasn't bothered about winning or losing and all six Rocky movies looked the same. Also Stallone tore up the script when he showed up on set because his PA hadn't used the right amount of coffee creamer in his morning coffee. Where does the problem lie? With Carl Weathers? The PA?

So guess they're doing what they always do in situations like this - make a terrible nostalgia show.

There’s plenty of lengthy wrestling matches each week. I’d prefer the story building. So long as it's actually story building, and not a guy recapping his entire career because we've got 3 hours to fill. Yeah, there's got to be actual storytelling. And I'm gonna say it, you don't need to give out big matches every week. Do new matches, make the big matches important. Drew vs Orton may be a good wrestling match, but it loses something when it's the 7th time they've wrestled this year. Adam Cole vs Pat McAfee was a good example of what can happen when you keep them apart till their actual match. They had a mini-feud where they antagonized each other for a couple of years, and then Pat started crossing the line with his remarks, leading to Cole physically confronting him on a show, and Pat punting him. Boom, we get a match that's been built to for a couple of years. They had their match, and McAfee disappeared for awhile, till he sent Ridge Holland after Cole. NXT built a blood feud between a wrestler and a non-wrestler (elite level athlete) by keeping them apart. Also mix up the roster. Would it really hurt for some shows to have the main eventers interact with lower card guys? Have Drew give Ricochet a title match one week because Ricochet helped him eliminate Brock. Gives you a fresh match, and helps out Ricochet. Main eventers of the past did it. I remember Rock having a match with Edge in the summer of 1999, didn't hurt Rock. Have main eventers have alliances with lower card guys. How many buddies did Hogan have that were nowhere near the main event?
