If you could make one major change to wrestling
 
what would it be? I don't care why. Don't tell me why. Just tell me what you'd change.

Xero 08-20-2010 07:38 PM

WWE focusing on talent, not looks or lack of mic skills.

Swiss Ultimate 08-20-2010 07:41 PM

I'd ban moves where you dropped your opponent on their head.

Londoner 08-20-2010 07:41 PM

I'lld bring the attitude era back......;)

Haze 08-20-2010 07:43 PM

Establish a union for wrestlers to get them better health care and retirement benefits.

My rule would probably benefit them in that capacity as well. Too many concussions in the wrestling world.

DLVH84 08-20-2010 07:53 PM

I love Xero's idea on focusing on talent and Haze's idea on having a union. These two ideas would be the best things to happen.

Actually, in the 1980's, Jesse Ventura came up the idea of having a union, until a certain stooge (Hulk Hogan) told Vince McMahon about it.

BizarroKing 08-20-2010 08:25 PM

No more Cena

LOL jk. Actually, maybe going back to regular PPVs instead of just having gimmick PPVs. Don't get me wrong they are cool and all, but srsly, now-a-days it seems like we are only focusing on gimmick matches. (Hell in a Cell, TLC, Elimination Chamber, etc) speaking of which better names for the PPVs too.

Droford 08-20-2010 08:39 PM

Make the ring posts out of rubber or something softer so that people dont get rammed into them and hurt.

Totally. I think they don't even need chairshots and blood every 3 seconds for that. Give them TV-14 lenient dialog and the occasional violence now and then. Saying things like "butt" over "ass" really make a difference in cheesiness.

I agree with focusing on talent. I do think having "a look" is important though. I don't think size or physique should be so important, though, since it leads to bad trends in the business.
I also think mic skills should absolutely matter. Good mic skills should be rewarded and have their purpose, but if a guy can find a way to be over without them it shouldn't be a dealbreaker. I think all routes of getting over should be explored.

Domino 08-20-2010 09:08 PM

I would only use the words ass, damn, hell, and bitch.

I would NEVER, however, use the words shit, fuck, goddamn, jesus christ, faggot, or any other racial or sexual slurs.

And of course, there would be less dick references.

Uhh, I mean, penis references.

This. I'd also like a legitimate promotion that competes with WWE. This is not an anti-WWE sentiment either.
It just leads to more jobs for the talent, more total entertainment, and a higher quality of product

Why is goddamn in a higher league of offensive words, godmotherfuckingdamnit!? :lol: Personally I see it no worse than damn or crap :)

Domino 08-20-2010 09:51 PM

Ask DX. They'll be happy to inform you, haha.

YoungFlyFlashy 08-21-2010 12:00 AM

Stop re-hashing old ideas. Lock up all the writers and only allow them free once they've come up with a years worth of original ideas. Repeat process every year.

Note: Yes I am aware that things will have to be re-hashed eventually, but sometimes I feel like they simply give up on even trying to explore different avenues just to make deadlines or whatever.

No no, we need those chairshots to the head!!111

Just kidding! ;)

Seriously though i agree.

crusnik 08-21-2010 01:01 AM

everyone else took the good ideas.lol I would say have an instant replay call in title matches... too much interference or crap in them(sheamus's matches come to mind)

Jordan 08-21-2010 01:08 AM

WWE is doing great at the moment, with the influx of new talent from NXT, to Alberto Del Rio, Sheamus, and other.

TNA on the other hand could use Paul Heyman's idea of a strong MMA influence. The route they are going on is okay, but with more sport and less bullshit talky stuff they would be much more compelling.

Steveviscious89 08-21-2010 01:44 AM

Take away the gauranteed contracts. Of course it would only be truly effective if both TNA and WWE did it. It would make the likes of Jeff Hardy put on a decent match no matter where he was.

Mr. C 08-21-2010 03:00 AM

Sorry, I have a list:

1. Merge the brands and unify the World Heavyweight & WWE Championship into the Undisputed WWE Championship.

2. Get rid of Alicia Fox, David Otunga, Heath Slater, Hornswoggle, Justin Gabriel, Michael Tarver, Santino Marella, Skip Sheffield, Vickie Guerrero, and Zack Ryder.

3. Make John Cena heel.

4. Make it that they defend every title at least once a month.

5. Hire women who can wrestle.

6. Less Pay-Per-Views.

7. Bump it back up to TV14.

8. Allow blood if and when it’s needed like Last Man Standing.

9. Push Christian.

10. Get rid of the Divas Championship.

Lock Jaw 08-21-2010 03:27 AM

Give Undertaker a new hat.

Brock 08-21-2010 07:59 AM

fire vince and make me the new chairman..

honestly! i have a list also:

1. merge raw and sd.. just the superstars.. with the same storyline that will continue from monday and friday

2. make raw and smackdown a 3 hour show

3.buy CZW

4.replace wwe superstars with czw

5.push NXT show because its good

and last?? bring back the ATTITUDE fkin era!

divas swimsuit contest,blood and freaking storylines!

Haze 08-21-2010 08:39 AM

Didn't realize making a list was plausible when you are give the option to make ONE major change.

CZW is garbage. It is glorified backyard wrestling, and is a black mark on the industry. Forgiving you poor spelling and grammar is one thing, but nothing can excuse supporting a "wrestling" promotion such as CZW.

if you think is it a garbage?? then why u try it.. wreslt on czw.. and lets see who will be the garbage.. LOL!

Haze 08-21-2010 09:11 AM

Because if I were to pursue a career as a professional wrestler, associating myself with a garbage promotion would be right up there on my list of things to do.

:wtf:

Can I ask why?

Haze 08-21-2010 10:16 AM

Why would we want to watch new stars develop to replace the stars who are entering the tail end of their careers? That is just nonsense!

Go fuck a goat.

Seriously, why do you even come to TPWW? Can CZW not afford a fan forum?

Because he merged the rosters. In doing so you have to cut probably half of the roster. Those are the guys he chose, but he would need to drop another 10 - 15 workers.

still, i stressed "one". I finally get it though, I was curious about his choice.

You're missing the point, as every form of entertainment re-hashes old ideas. I don't think the case is to meet deadlines or "whatever", because writing four to five hours of entertainment each week isn't just time consuming - it's creatively exhaustive. There's no way on earth you could hire or pay enough writers to come up with new ideas constantly throughout the calendar, year after year.

Besides, assuming we've all heard of and understand Jim Cornette's 'seven year rule' of recycling in wrestling, there's really no need to. The only people who might recognise something we've seen before are the hardcore who've been watching for ten years plus, and this is not a problem as we're in the minority.

How about making an inter-brand TV title?

I like this idea but I would prefer it be from merging the US and IC titles.
