I'm actually getting back into WWE at the moment, I think the main storylines are actually very impressive and a lot of younger stars are being built up in my opinion.
There are a few things here and there that I would change though -
1. Roster. The first problem is that, although the roster is quite good at the moment, there are still too many fringe superstars (basically guys who are doing nothing and going nowhere). I think guys like Festus, Charlie Haas, Jimmy Wang Yang, Slam Master J and Kung Fu Naki fall into this category. Although I think Haas could be made into a decent character, I don't think there is much hope for the others. Also too many young guys are being brought up from developmental before creative had any real ideas for them (Escobar for instance).
2. ECW. I know many people disagree and really enjoy this show, but I think it needs doing away with, or at the very least it needs a name change, because this show is nothing more than a developmental territory being televised. I think there are a few top guys (Christian, Regal) who could be doing something on RAW or Smackdown!, but the rest of the roster is just an afterthought; Guys like Tyler Reks and Vance Archer are just doing nothing, and probably won't ever be. Then the roster is tiny and the show only lasts an hour. It just isn't important enough as its own brand in my view. I'd move the more exciting characters (Christian, Regal, Goldust, Hurricane and Benjamin) over to a different brand, and the rest just aren't good enough for me.
3. The Miz. He should not be holding the U.S Title. I'm sorry but I'm going against the majority again here, he's just damn annoying and I don't see anything good about him. He's ever so bland and his promos aren't impressive, he just sounds like a total idiot. Stop pushing him... no, wait... release him already.
4. Tag Teams. Jeri-Show are the 'Unified' Tag Team Champions. That's fine, but get them some challengers too. I have no problem with thrown-together teams personally, as long as there is some contenders for these belts. And if they are 'unified', why don't they just get one set of tag team belts. One is plenty after all. I like what they're doing with MVP/ Henry, but lets get Cryme Tyme in there, and Legacy.
5. Returning Stars. As people have been discussing in my other thread, I would like to see guys like RVD, Tajiri, Umaga and Ken Kennedy return to the WWE. I know Umaga and Kennedy haven't been gone long, but they didn't need to be released in the first place. Years ago, upper card stars weren't getting released left and right like they are now.
So yeah, they are the main things that bother me in WWE and that I would change.
