Two simple words that will fix the wwe

Apx 150 words that will not save wrestling

Jesus fucking christ. There is no one "quick fix" to push WWE to the heights it was once at, get RoH in the mainstream, or make TNA good. No ammount of money thrown at one person to work for one company that will alter the history of wrestling. If anything the fans might be a problem in the wrestling world. Yes, we are the problem.
I'm sure since the additude era we have been expecting more. We want the same hard hitting product we once had. We want The Rock, DX, Steve Austin, etc.
We don't have that prodcut anymore. Either stop pissing and moaning or stop watching. If wrestling needs to be "saved" for you then you need to loosen up when you're watching. Have a couple of beers, kick off your shoes, and enjoy the show for what it is, and not what it was.

Totally agree

To add my two cents, hypothetically if Austin for example were to come back full-time I seriously doubt that things would drastically change for the better. Austin's time has past. His character has passed. The public want freshness, this is why ordinary TV programs (in general) don't go on and on forever. Look at some past TV successes like Seinfeld or Friends. These shows were hugely popular, but they had a limited life span. Same with wrestling. In order to survive, it needs to re-invent itself by creating new stars, new storylines and fresh ideas - not trying to re-create it's past glories. The public do not want staleness. The lack of pop for Jericho's recent return (although still early) seems to add to this argument. Jericho has basically returned and picked up where he left off. Where is the freshness, the creativity?

The Internet has also spoiled things as well. I reckon Jericho's return would have been more successful if no one knew about it beforehand. It would have been more "OMG JERICHO'S BACK!!!" rather than "OK, finally Jericho's come back we can all stop speculating on when he's returning, now what's he gonna do to make things better".

Brock would not save the WWE either. No wrestler can. Hell I think even a Rock return would get pretty stale after a few weeks if it was just a re-hash of the past without anything new added.

The WWE needs to save the WWE. Bring back the "Creative" in the Creative Team. Lead from the top. Help the younger guys develop their personas, train them on the mic more, hell, send them to drama classes if you have to, in order to turn them NOT into the next Austin or the next Rock, but the next Jeff Hardy/MVP/Orton/Lashley etc Superstar in their own right.
