I'd even be okay with a Sunday Night Heat type of show so the mid-card guys can have a program.

cutting back that far isn't necessary. Cutting back is, however, a good idea. If they can't afford a massive roster, three plus shows is too much.

2. This has a been a problem for years.....but they need better control of keeping secrets off the net. The internet has played a big role in ruining wrestling in my opinion. There's no more surprises. In my day, we had no world wide web so when a older wrestler returned, or a guy turned heel or babyface, it was a big deal, and it was shocking, and it made for good TV!

It's easy enough to avoid these rumours. Especially now that wrestling isn't mainstream anymore. If you think this is hurting your enjoyment, stop reading results or whatever.

3. They need to cut down on the roster. There are WAY too many wrestlers on the roster, and just about anyone can get a job in the WWE these days Literally! Half of those clowns need to be fired! In my day, when you got to the WWF, it was a big deal, because you were in the big league, but now....ANYONE can get in the WWE. It's not a huge honor to work there anymore!

To be fair, in your day, there was viable competition that was at least remotely in the same league. People would leave--people could leave--and that meant not only a more aggressive hiring policy was needed, but also, it meant you couldn't just snap up everyone. Now Vince is trying to outbuy the competition.

5. Randy Orton took WAY too long to come down to the ring last night for the opening skit. Don't milk out the fans! Just come out the second the music starts, and don't peddle around so much!

agreed.

6. They need to stop giving all the attention to the twenty-something year old kids. Those little boys need to be mid-carding right now. The older guys need to be running the show. Orton, and his stable are TOO YOUNG! They're just kids! Rookies! Babies.....who need to work on their mic skills! They're WAY too young and inexperienced to be carrying the whole company! I was just watching one of my old Raw tapes from 97', and there was a match between The Rock and Triple H. Both men were in their twenties at the time, and both men as we know would later go on to lead the company, but guess what? In 1997, THEY WERE MID-CARDING! i.e. They were LEARNING!

In general, WWE needs to stop trying so hard to make certain people. WWE needs young blood, but this is insane.

7. The GM, President, Commissioner, whatever you wanna call it......needs to take more of a backseat role, and not be on the show every dang week! Just every so often like when Gorilla Monsoon was president, so whenever the boss DOES show up, you know something exciting is gonna happen, and someone's probably gonna get their butt chewed out! They should set it up for where when the boss shows up, you know someone's in trouble! So when their music hits, everyone's standing up, waiting to see the heel get what's coming to them! Or is scared for the future of the babyface!

I personally like the style of a more active role. I just don't likle Vickie. And not in the "I hate her because she's a heel" sense, and more the "I fast forward her because she has the mic skills of a retarded parrot" sense. However, a face GM has to be less hands on or he doesn't work. Either he's an impotent and powerless figurehead, like Teddy Long, or he's a pandering asshat, like Teddy Long, or he's just a glorified announcer, like teddy Long.

8. They need a heel play-by-play man! Jerry Lawler was so amazing back in the day, and was too funny for words. But for the ten ten years now, he's been a babyface/half-butt heel. I guess you could call him a tweener, but he's more of a face in my view. I personally miss the heel play-by-play men like Jessie Ventura, Bobby Heenan, the 90's Jerry Lawler, and Paul Heyman in his 2001 run.
I remember watching an old 2001 DVD when Heyman was working with Ross, and Heyman sounded so freaking brilliant, and it was entertaining hearing Ross and Heyman argue! That's how it needs to be now. A face and heel play-by-play men just like there are face and heel wrestlers!

I cannot emphsasize my agreement enough. It also made those rare moments where King did the right thing and stood up for JR or whoever all the better.
