They need more comic book-esque characters and storylines.

1) Invest in Character Development, and look at things from a long term perspective. I know it's difficult, but take a stand against shareholders. Man up, and stop trying to cater to their every nook and cranny by solely focusing on short term gains (which if we're being honest, isn't much). Invest heavily in character development for the wrestlers, and get wrestlers to connect with the audience. Give wrestlers more creative control, and let them come up with their gimmicks. When you look at the "Attitude Era," the actual quality of wrestling wasn't that high. Bret and Shawn were gone before the peak of the Attitude era and so that in itself should tell you a lot. Outside of Austin/Vince, what really drove the WWE during this era were compelling characters, which ultimately lead to compelling storylines. 2) Storytelling in the ring: I mentioned this in another thread, but I have no idea what they're teaching down there in the Performance Center. Yes - the actual WRESTLING is quite high, but where's the storytelling? Where's the selling? Why are finishers being used as high spots? That's one reason why I'll watch a Randy Orton match any day of the week. The guy "gets it." Any young guy in the business right now should be watching Randy Orton matches while massaging their boners so to speak. No one understand ring psychology better than Orton. |

They were running Monday Night Raw out of high school gyms in 1994/95. You could see lowered basketball rims in some of the shots.

I gained a lot of respect for Cena during his feud with The Rock. Cena was getting the better of The Rock verbally in my opinion. What people often forget about Cena is that the WWE tailored his gimmick towards the under 12 demographic. So yeah - we may have thought Cena's gimmick was lame post 2005, and Cena himself may have not been a fan, but the kids ate that shit up and Cena kept the WWE afloat. Cena has a valid claim in being considered the GOAT.

The future of wrestling will all be done via social media. Rasslers will gain fans/followers via social media and interact/feud with other rasslers via social media.... then eventually things will culminate in 7 second matches on TikTok.
This is the future, and the only way to capture the hearts and attention of the next generation. |

Vince McMahon will create new stars when he needs new stars. He’s actually quite good at catching a wave and planning ahead if you don’t get so markishly caught up in the immediate content and usual internet gripes.
He’s thinking about overall business while most internet fans are crying because not everybody is WWE Champion right now. |

Not as the main source. I'm talking no tv shows at all, and everything being done via social media.

Oh okay, I get it now.
Could you imagine if a company started out that way? No need to worry about TV contracts or anything, just going to the apps people already use. |

1) Focus on character development and reintroducing actual characters onto shows. Give the wrestlers creative control over their characters, and give them bullet points to address during promos. No long scripts. 2) Bring back storytelling and selling in the ring. |
