WWE taking ideas (like Wargames) from WCW is no better than TNA taking ideas from WWE. Breaking ground and making waves is what Vince McMahon did to create the golden era of professional wrestling, which is the foundation of the modern industry. He didn't steal ideas. He made them.
(before you make the "Vince raped the talent of the nation and created a monopoly" argument, he created them, and let them showcase their talents on a national level. No one had to sell out, they chose to go where the money was, and still is)
How about this- Hire 2-3 new writers who focus on developing rookie talents (not finding little guys who can't speak English) and midcard storylines. Slowly phase out Triple H, Cena is going to lose his edge after his match with The Rock (because let's face it- this isn't just jumping the shark. After a year of build up this is launching a rocket ship over a flying shark that shoots fire out of its ass), and the main event scene is pretty weak already. Build up a stable, a new main eventer, and a solid tag team scene. Everything else will fall into place.
You cannot build magic. It just happens. Just try to make Survivor Series an important PPV again and you're done. Maybe over the next few years have a major title change hands at that PPV.
If need be allow WWE to take a small fall for a month or three (because let's face it- during the new Monday Night Wars WWE had Jack Fucking Swagger as the WHC, so what do they have to lose?) to build up new talents to get people to care about them.
You cannot accept arm chair booking at face value. There are too many egos at stake, and too much money to lose to let the internet run a fortune 500 company.
