Yea, I had an abstract meaning with my metaphors, but it's not my fault no one caught on.

However for as many similarities they have, they have even more differences. One is a show, one is a contest. One has corporate sponsers plastered in the middle of the ring, the other has a clean ring. One is based around people trying to hurt each other, the other is based on people trying to look like they're trying to hurt each other. One championship means your the best, the other means you're marketable. One only has action inside the ring, the other can have home invasions.

Do I need to go on?
So let's make WWE more like UFC, and it'll go bankrupt. If they based things even halfway on athetic preformance then their top stars would need to find work elsewhere. The main event will be polluted with a cornucopia of people that most fans don't care about.
In addaiton to that 2 or 3 shows monthly will prevent anyone from making any money. Let's go ahead and make Noid's wet dream come true and give Val Venis a major title, and watch everyone lose shirts.

Apples and oranges.

Also, if you're not a wrestling fan then why are you here? Don't spam this board just because you're butt hurt because MMA is a subforum while wrestling has more than one forum.
It's not even a case of changes to product, so much as it is a need to refrain from hurtful practices:

-They need to build credible new stars. They put the title on Benoit after a 6 month build and it was epic. They put the title on Randy Orton out of nowhere and watered him down and it failed.

-They need to give the core audience what they want. The core audience has always been yound men. What do they want? Action. That doesn't mean you can't have Cena and Mysterio pander to the kids, it just means let's not make it the major focus of the show.

-Let's have a little less holding down of people who you don't personally like even though the fans are all over them. No more RVDs and Chris Jerichos being overlooked despite being the most popular guys around. If the fans want them, then push them. Don't cut the legs out of the pushes unless the fans cool off on them. Or better yet, take them in a new direction and try to get the fans back into them. Look what it did for Christian.
