You Bought WWE. Now What?

[Vastardikai]

Clockshot, You snooze, you lose. :p

Seriously, what do you do with WWE, if you bought it?

Me? This is a plan I have discussed before, and of course it all hinges on the end of the COVID thing. I actually expand WWE's NXT system into multiple areas: NXT Southeast, NXT Northeast, NXT Texas, NXT California, etc.

You already see where I am going with this.

But from there, I actually contract Raw and Smackdown's roster to about 10 wrestlers per show. Raw and Smackdown both have the WWE Champion (unify the Universal and World Titles), who works both shows. Raw has the Intercontinental Title, And Women's Title (Reunified). Smackdown has the US Title, Tag Team Titles (reunified), and retire 24/7 and introduce a new belt: The WWE Toughman Title. Toughman Title is kind of like NEVER Openweight, a title for Shit Kickers.

Each show will have their special attraction talent, that only works that show. The champions, and whoever is feuding with them. Those are the only consistent folks on Raw and Smackdown. And wherever the shows take place will have the card filled out by the local NXT Talent. Being featured regularly on Raw or Smackdown is the ultimate goal. And the NXT guys occasionally go to different shows to spice up their act locally (they also do their own shows)

TLDR: Bascially, I am rebuilding the territories under the WWE brand.

[Lock Jaw]

Institute a mandatory cocaine policy for all high card talent.

[Evil Vito]

Book myself in a harem angle with Zelina Vega, Alexa Bliss, Toni Storm, and The IIconics.

[ozzman6669]

Bigger nerd than i thought

[Seanny One Ball]

I'd make them all do steroids and blow Pat Patterson

[Lock Jaw]

Bigger nerd than i thought

More like "bigger Noid than I thought" amirite?!

[GD]

Lock Jaw, I will helluva kick you all the way to USA.

[Lock Jaw]

Anywhere but there!!!

[Curtis]

Bring back Snitsky and have him do a one sided beatdown of one wrestler every show until he has beaten everyone. Then put every title on Snitsky.
When the company goes out of business one year later, it's not gonna be my fault!

[Helmsphere]

Ask Tony Khan what he wants for it.

[Emperor Smeat]

Light it on fire and do the Orton pose.

Then realize I'm burning away several billions worth bucks and find where WWE stored Austin's beer truck to put out the flames.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Get rid of the brand split.

Unify the titles.

Identify the guys you want to push more and in the future. Figure out who your underneath, midcard, main event players are and book accordingly.

Identify job guys and then start thinning out the roster with guys who aren't being used at all.

Run smaller venues.

Cut down to 6-8 ppv type shows.

Stop giving away main event level matches on free tv.

Blow up the announce teams.

Start pushing saidyounger talent and using the part timer/stars/relics of the past to get young guys over.

Let the talent have more say and influence over their characters. Let them sink or swim on their merit.

[xrodmuc316]

I don't even know how to fix it at this point.

They were setup, had the formula, and they pissed it all away.

Of course I'm talking about NXT callups.

There was a solid stretch starting with K.O. where numerous NXT guys in succession felt like bigger stars than most of the main roster.

Then fucking Vince buried them one by one. Look at them today.

Balor - Back in NXT
Joe - An announcer
Shinsuke - In a weird jobber faction
Roode - In an even weirder jobber faction
Andrade - In an even newer jobber faction

The problem with that history is it makes getting invested in NXT guys hard unless they are going to stay for good.

So where do new stars come from? Randomly pushing Apollo Crews after 4 years??

[slik]

Terminate Kevin Dunn, effective immediately

Sell the company to Anthem Media Group

[Ruien]

Allow steroids again.

[Innovator]

Sell streaming rights, end agreement with Saudi Arabia, get out of everyone’s way in terms of creative.

[Seanny One Ball]

Brawl 4 All 2 Divas Boogaloo

[Seanny One Ball]

Linda McMahon wardrobe malfunction at Royal Rumble 2030

[Seanny One Ball]

Offer Bret Hart another run with the WWE title but only if he abseils in as the Glue Glazer and his gimmick is that of a glue gun wielding window fitter.

[Droford]

Name change back to WWF and tell the panda lovers to fuck off

[GD]

Have Booker T no sell Triple H’s pedigree and pin him after a running splash in under a minute for the World Heavyweight Championship.

[Seanny One Ball]

Start a new segment on RAW called "Deering Makes The World Work" where superfan Mark Deering tells it like it is to all other aspiring superfans. Clips of advice would be interspersed with footage of him sorting the world out as he goes around dressed like a scaled down Caucasian Roman Reigns.

[Seanny One Ball]

Female masked wrestler called "Womankind" and the mask is a vag-pad

[GD]

And her finisher is the period?

[Seanny One Ball]

Hire a commentator with special needs who's initials are M. R and make Mauro work with him just to see if I can get him behaving badly enough to swing it into my favour.

[Seanny One Ball]

And her finisher is the period?


You will notice I had no period after the vag pad.

[Seanny One Ball]

A wrestler called Jesus that looks like Jesus

[drave]

But he's a gay Jesus?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Name change back to WWF and tell the panda lovers to fuck off

Damn, you still mad?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Out of ALL the abhorrent shit WW(F) has done, your beef is with the PANDA LOVER scenario?

Right on.

[Droford]

it has always annoyed me, especially since they've even dumped calling it world wrestling entertainment and just go with WWE as if it's a word not an acronym

[Lock Jaw]

It's a brand.

Even if they could go back to WWF today, I wouldn't recommend it or do it because it tarnishes the brand. (Yes, it hurt them to change from WWF in the first place, but to throw away close to 20 years of brand building to step backwards is not wise in any sense)

[Lock Jaw]

That being said, cocaine and steroids for all is definitely wise and would lead to a new boom period.

[XL]

What’s this about pandas? Vince changed to WWE as a stroke of marketing genius to freshen up the product.

[Seanny One Ball]

Vince McFlan

[Seanny One Ball]

Hire Andy Dick to manage his own stable.
That would be good.

[Seanny One Ball]

Get Randy Quaid in too

[xrodmuc316]

Have every 3rd hour of Raw be like the Royal Rumble where Brock just beats the shit out of about 15 Indy wrestlers every week.

[Seanny One Ball]

Have David Chase direct RAW and stick it on HBO.
Kids will think it's real again.

[#1-norm-fan]

Hire Andy Dick to manage his own stable.
That would be good.

Andy Dick would have made such a great heel manager back in the day when wrestling thrived on the ridiculous open homophobia of its fans.

I don’t know how it would work out today. His flamboyantly gay ways would push him toward face but his obnoxiousness would push him toward heel. I would like to see this play out. Give Seanny the company.

[Seanny One Ball]

He'd be bigger than Heenan

[Anybody Thrilla]

This actually does sound like a great idea. Am I sick?

[Seanny One Ball]

Andy Dick kept doing the same thing for so long that when he finally stopped, it became retro almost immediately.
Also he's an anomaly in that before the Weinstein effect he was lagely considered a gross nuisance whereas in a post Weinstein world he looks utterly harmless and a tiny bit prophetic.

Pretty sure WWE stole the end of this sketch from the parking lot on.

[drave]

Definitely looks like their camerawork during the kicks
