So you inherit the WWE...

[Swiss Ultimate]

and being the arm-chair booker that you most certainly are you decide to make some changes 'round these here parts. What do you do?

[Xero]

Run it into the ground within a week by buying up all the talented but unmarketable indy guys.

/IWC

[Swiss Ultimate]

I'd honestly just leave it as is and let my money tree grow to all new heights. If I want to watch good wrestling I have the entire WWE library and money to spend on years worth of the best indy stuff.

I might hire a few guys that I like but, wouldn't change the format in fear of ruining the money-making formula.

[Sixx]

I would beat Rey Mysterio with a pipe.

[Innovator]

Keep cashing in on that dividend baby

[Rammsteinmad]

I'd fire a few people and hire a few indy stars that I like. Other than that I'd pretty much leave things as they are, but I'd put a bit more emphasis on the wrestling again, similar to WWE 2002/2003.

[BillyBonez]

Bring back the hardcore division and have NXT canceled and replaced with WWE : Hardcore Night, a show of only hardcore matches, however hardcore matches are on all shows. The Hardcore Night show will be like CZW with deathmatches and other ultra violent matches.

On RAW, I will split the show back to Raw and Warzone, with Warzone being completely insane and uncensored, so that wrestles can curse each other out and beat up each other til they are both bleeding.

On Smackdown, I will relaunch the cruiserweight division but I will call it "The Hyper Division" and put guys like Evan Bourne, Mysterio, Chavo etc all into this division.

[Ermaximus]

Put the WHC on Christian, and WWE Title on Jericho. I would also fire Todd Grisham and replace him with JR. I'd also have Miz/Jericho be the announce team for NXT with Josh Matthews.

[DLVH84]

Fire Johnny Ace and hire someone that knows a lot about wrestling talent in that position.

[Loose Cannon]

I would just pass off every responsibility and raid thier tape library.

[RiX1024]

add more British wrestlers, concentrate on wrestling than entertainment, put Joey Styles back on play-by-play, have a weekly Michael Cole gets his ass kicked segment, and do a Vince Russo...book myself to win the belt and that's it.

[Xero]

add more British wrestlers, concentrate on wrestling than entertainment, put Joey Styles back on play-by-play, have a weekly Michael Cole gets his ass kicked segment, and do a Vince Russo...book myself to win the belt and that's it.

So you winning the title is the last night of the company?

Way to go.

[Favre4Ever]

Bring back Kurt Angle, even if I have to literally suck his dick to do so.

Put Paul Heyman back at the announce table and pay him whatever I have to to get him there.

Take the fucking spinner off of the WWE Championship. Holy shit I'm embarrassed that that's still on there.

Lastly, I would do nothing suggested by Billy Bonez.

[Ermaximus]

So you winning the title is the last night of the company?

Way to go.

It'd be the last night if he won the belt off someone like HHH, Cena, Sheamus, Orton, or Edge. That's when you'd know some seriously shitty writing went down.

[VSG]

Hire Noid to do the writing, Xero for the off-screen mystery GM (Never will he be shown on tv or elsewhere) and I will go have a Bahamamama with the divas.

[TGR]

Cash out and run like hell.

[tjmidnight420]

Hire Noid to do the writing, Xero for the off-screen mystery GM (Never will he be shown on tv or elsewhere) and I will go have a Bahamamama with the divas.

And fire BillyBonez. First he'd have to have a job though, so he can be the janitor at titan towers. Nah, scratch that, just fire him. I wouldn't want him anywhere near the product. :shifty:

Also: I'd hire Adam Evans and job him out to a walrus.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Probably would be in completely over my head and fire a bunch of people I didn't like, and cost the company some money.

[StingerSplash4Lyf]

i would probably book more hell in a cell matches and have a buried alive match between ministry undertaker and wolfpack stinger at wrestlemania 27

i would move it from atlanta to nashua too because my bus goes there

[Swiss Ultimate]

I can't stress enough how much I would hate if Billy Bonez inherited the WWE.

[BollywoodSingh]

Stealing a few ideas from this thread, but here's my list:

Release the following wrestlers:
-Mark Henry
-Kozlov
-JTG

Hire (pretty much guys that aren't in TNA that I would like in WWE):
-Petey Williams
-Christopher Daniels
-Shelton Benjamin
-Charlie Haas
-Doug Basham
-Booker T
-Sean O'Haire
-Chuck Palumbo
-Elix Skipper (reform Triple X)
-Gregory Helms
-Lance Cade
-Nick Dinsmore
-Rene Dupree
-Sunny if she's in shape.
-Raven if he's in shape.
-Kid Kash
-A few Japanese and Mexican wrestlers, at least one Australian, Chinese, and South American wrestler.

-Scout out the USA indy scene to find female wrestlers that are both hot and can work.

-Scout amateur wrestlers that have potential in WWE. Most amateur wrestlers seem to adjust well to pro wrestling (Lesnar, Angle, Haas, Benjamin, Lashley, Swagger).

-Take the brand split more seriously. No Raw wrestlers showing up on SD and no SD wrestlers showing up on Raw unless it's one of those big 3 hour specials or if there's a feud between a Raw and SD wrestler and one of them invades the other show.

-Have separate tag titles for each show and add more regular tag teams.

-Have more tag teams that wear the same attire and give them actual tag team names.

-Get rid of the spinner belt.

[Rev. Hallowell]

Hire a bunch of guys from another company and have one of their top guys job to one of my guy's wife. :shifty:

[Emperor Smeat]

Offer the company to Ted Dibiase Jr since he is willing to buy anything for a price.

WWE company for the Million Dollar belt, Virgil, and a lot of cash sounds like a fair deal in the end.

:shifty:

[Nicky Fives]

Only thing I would change is making one show (Raw) PG-14 and keeping Smackdown PG13ish

[Poit]

I'd also have Miz/Jericho be the announce team for NXT with Josh Matthews.

Hire Noid to do the writing
:y:

[Lara Emily]

End once and for all the contract worker system, establish pensions, health care and what not for WWE Wrestlers. Try and prevent all the bullshit senseless deaths that happen in the industry.

[Vastardikai]

Disclaimer: The following post is gonna be long, drawn out, and be full of bad ideas.

1. What Lara Emily said.

2. Divide up the WWE into 8 initial territories: East Canada, New England, Midwest, East Coast, Deep South, Texas (which also includes Arizona, OK, and Nevada), and West Coast (also includes Western Canada). As time goes on and finances warrant it, add WWE Europe, Mexico, Japan, etc.

3. Each Territory gets their own regional title, has their own roster, etc.

4. There will still be the 2 "Brands," But their permanent rosters will be condensed to about 10 workers apiece, and their titles will be contracted. I'm talking about down to a WWE Champion, either a US or IC champion. Raw, being the flagship, will mainly feature the WWE Champion. Smackdown, will focus on the secondary title. Most of the shows will feature the main roster and top talent from whatever territory they're in.

5. Get TV Deals for each Territory to air in their respective Territory.

6. Hire enough workers to work each territory and to get time off.

7. Encourage the workers to relocate to different territories from time to time.

8. The tours will be smaller for the regional guys, keeping them in their general area.

9. The main shows will have Noid and the 'Kai as the head bookers.

10. Use the WWE channel that's coming out to show replays of Raw and SD!, as well as replays from the various territories.

11. Scrap FCW entirely. Use the territories to develop the new stars.

12. International tours will still be done, but it'll be usually the main rosters and couple of up and coming regional guys.

[Schlomey]

Schlomey inherits the WWE:


1. The tag team division will come to the forefront.
2. The US & IC titles will be unified in an attempt to make it important to the UPPER MID CARD guys & NOT as a launching pad for newbies.
3. Have a "rookie of the year" competition. THAT will be the launching pad for the best new guys in the company. One in particular will be able to ride that for a year and by that point will be ready for the Upper Mid Card.
4. Unify the Womens Title. Hire Awesome Kong. Re-hire Tara & try and cherry pick the TNA Knockouts as much as possible.
5. Move John Cena to Smackdown.
6. Move Undertaker to RAW.
7. Get rid of the guest hosts.
8. Keep the programming at a PG rating but DROP most comedy bits and over produced back stage segments. That way the advertising dollars are still there. The kids can still watch. And the more hardcore "adult" fans won't feel so alienated & so they won't be watching such a childs program.
9. Re-instate blood but use it VERY sparingly.
10. Hire a person to create good stage names.

[Fox]

I'd sell it to Paul Heyman for a quarter of what it's worth, retaining a certain percentage of the gross income for the next 100 years, and move somewhere nice and retire.

[Outsider]

Nothing for a good couple of years except sit back and learn how to a) run a wrestling company and b) run a business.

Oh, I'd cut out racial stereotypes once and for all. They piss me off.

[Lock Jaw]

I'd have more racial stereotypes. Not nearly enough nowadays.

[BigCrippyZ]

- Change back to TV14.
- Bring back the Tag and hardcore divisions.
- Get rid of the Diva's wrestling on every show.
- Get rid of the brand split and the undercard guys that they basically don't use because they are shitty workers or shitty on the mic or writers don't have anything for them, even with the brand split.
- Bring back one world title
- Increase match lengths at least a little, main events should get at least 10-12 mins, even on RAW and Smackdown, maybe not necessarily on the 2nd/3rd tier shows
- Have some actual consistent and engaging feuds/storylines that go somewhere over several months
- Treat at least some storylines (particularly upper/main event level) as more realistic and kayfabe with more importance, not too extreme but at least a little more importance.
- Bring back blood occasionally, not like Flair bleeding to cover his age or blood for the sake of blood, but to compliment the match like HHH, Foley used to do or to sell injuries/ progress a storyline. Definitely DO NOT stop the match/show because someone accidently gets busted open.
- Bring back Heyman and JR to announce RAW/PPVs, they had a great chemistry together

[Swiss Ultimate]

I'd sell it to Paul Heyman for a quarter of what it's worth, retaining a certain percentage of the gross income for the next 100 years, and move somewhere nice and retire.

Paul Heyman still couldn't afford it.

How about 3% of what it's worth and we give him a good payment plan?

[Schlomey]

I would also create a cruiser/x-division type thing and really bring "high speed" wrestling to the forefront for a couple years.

[BollywoodSingh]

More from me:

Hire Awesome Kong

Longer title reigns so that they actually mean something.

Annual King Of The Ring, but not a PPV devoted to it. A one night TV tournament is good.

[ORANGE-LOCKE]

Hire James Steele to manage the company, give him creative control, and pay him whatever he wants on one condition....He has to FIRE Triple H his first day on the job...

Seriously tho

*Hasta La Vista SPINNER BELT (would be replaced by Attitude Era Belt)
*Jack Swagger buried in mid card status
*Christian gets Main event push
*More Main Event Stables
*John Cena NOT overcoming the odds
*Owen Hart in Hall of Fame along with Macho Man
*Bring Back the BIG 5-WM, Summerslam, Survivor Series, RR, KOR
*End the Brand Extension

and last but not least....

*Jump in my delorean with Doc Brown and go back to 2001, and do a Cool, Proper, INVASION ANGLE, after I Purchase WCW

[BillyBonez]

What would proper entail? I mean, would u really hold off the entire angle and pay everyone's salary until u can get Hogan and Goldberg off they contracts?
