1) Establish booking teams for each division on the show (WWE: World Title/Main Event, IC/US titles & midcard, tag division, and Divas). Imagine what Heyman could do with the midcard guys, for example. You also have Dutch Mantel who has experience in the booking department.

2) Each booking team would be given a roster of superstars to work with and a set of guidelines to work within (e.g. You can't use a guy from another roster without consent from the team that has him)

3) Each booking team has a head booker, 2-3 writers and an agent who puts the inring together

4) All teams would be brought together at weekly booking meetings in order to plan weeks/months in advance, to ensure that similar things aren't happening in each division, so that I could give final say on direction, etc.

The idea of this would be to create internal competition. With no real competition to WWE they need to compete amongst themselves. TNA could benefit from this model by concentrating on putting out their best content rather than worrying what WWE are doing.

Each team of bookers/writers/agents should be looking to get their guys/title as over as possible. The team booking the midcard titles should be looking to elevate their guys so that they're ready to be transitioned into the Main Event team.

The teams should be interchangeable too. If they best stuff is coming from your midcard team they should be given a chance with the top guys.

Shows should be planned weeks/months in advance. Obviously there are elements that can change (injuries being a major game changer for example) but for the most part I want to know where we're headed with each division/set of superstars going forward.

That way you don't have stuff like:

Brodus Clay allows Xavier Woods to use his music and dancers.
Clay gets annoyed and attacks Woods. Clay is now heel, breaking up Tons of Funk.
Clay vs. Woods plays out on B level shows, Clay vs. Tensai doesn't produce anything of note.

Fast-forward a few months: Tensai is an announcer on the C-show, Clay lost a match to the C-show champion and in doing so failed to obtain a match for the belt. Woods is a jobber, scheduled to lose in a handicap match (where he has the man advantage) against the current hot thing.

Total waste of time/momentum for everybody involved.
