Brand Split (If you want I'll say who for what show) Women's Championship RA Era Style WWE Draft Good Creative Writers Clips during a band performance of the highlights of the storyline at the PPV's (Like Survivor Series 02) BETTER/CLASSIC PPV'S! I.E - Taboo Tuesday, Bad Blood, Vengeance, No Mercy etc. Velocity instead of Superstars (So RAW'd get Main Event and Smackdown would get Velocity) RA Era Style Arena's (So Smackdown get's the big fist, the 06 RAW Arena) That's a whole lot of one thing! Bring back the idea of long term writing. It makes things mean more, things happen for a reason, creates more character. With everything needing to be so fast paced and right here right now. Everything has suffered.

It really bugs me how every show now except for WrestleMania use the same stage, so I'd like to see the unique individual stages for RAW, SmackDown & PPVs.

I'd be happy if we could get another tag team TLC match. WWE is on the brink of a tag team resurgence. And a good TLC match could potentially take 3 teams to the next level.

The production value.
Maybe it's just me, but it's way too much. It takes away from the wrestling look, which I know is what they are trying to do.
But as a fan, with LED and HD screens and now digital ring skirts, it makes everything feel like a stage production instead of a wrestling show. I feel like I'm watching Times Square.
I'm about to turn 22, and started watching in January 2002. I used to look forward to the set designs for each PPV and especially WrestleMania. Now it feels like those sets are lackluster because all the lights and sets are the same for everything.
I'd like less lighting on the crowd, more scaffolding and less LED, I don't know. Seems stupid I guess but I don't feel like I'm watching a story anymore. It's like I'm watching a digital display with some guys performing.
Another big thing I miss is the story telling of hatred.
Say what?
What I mean is, look at Brock vs. Taker in 2002 and in 2015.
Sure, both men were in different character forms and it was a different time, but the build was unbelievable. As a kid and huge Taker fan, I wanted Taker to teach Brock a lesson. That Unforgiven match was crazy to me as a kid, because Taker almost beat Brock. Then that unforgettable Hell in a Cell match. You genuinely felt they hated each other. I had to tune in to see if Brock could cleanly beat Undertaker. They sorta captured that with the brawl on Raw, but it just didn't feel the same.
Shawn Michaels vs. Triple H, Kane vs. everyone, I mean, there was a personal interest in knowing that they didn't like each other.
Everything feels so bland and boring nowadays. I rarely post but read often, and I can honestly say I'm not a CM Punk or DBRY mark, but the last angle that genuinely had me excited for WWE was Punk in 2011. Taker this year was cool, but not the same.
They've had Sting, Bret Hart, Uktimate Warrior, Hulk Hogan, the nWo, DX, Brock Lesnar, The Rock and Undertaker all on the roster in the last five years which are all huge parts of my childhood, and I just felt let down by a lot of it.
theres no personal rivalries, no reason for me to tune in.

Enhancement talent or "jobbers". Not every person on the roster has to, or can be low or mid card or main event. Use these people to build up the existing crew. Then you can have fewer screwy finishes to protect those guys that are working towards the main event.
I realize the brand split failed initially, but I think this could revitalize the concept and put a little friendly competition between Raw and Smackdown, similar to what Paul Heyman mentioned on his dvd. But keep the titles they have.
Remember when Bryan and Cena held the mid card belts to make them important again? Separating them to show specific championships would be fine, but keep the tag and World belts open to both. The world championship speaks for itself, but this could elevate the tag belts too. Then, guys on either show are working to get bragging rights.

The periodic music video montages for wrestlers, that often just came out of the blue..... music licensing has killed that in WWE, for the most part....
Remember the "Creed" videos? Those were amazing.... really got my psyched up for certain wrestlers.... these used to be a WWE staple - nowadays, it seems like we only get good ones when someone dies, or goes into the Hall of Fame....
I wish they'd use them again for the younger stars.... even my 6-year-old son always perks up whenever a music montage starts.... they really grab our attention & put the spotlight on a performer (in a positive way).
I truly believe that these music videos resonate with fans & are a big part of the reason many of us remember "the good old days" so fondly.... WWE has really gotten away from using them effectively.

Unique stages for PPVs, rehashing the Raw and Smackdown sets make PPVs feel even more like Raw and Smackdown than they already are.

2 hour RAWs and Sunday Night Heat! Remember how pumped you would be for RAW when Heat gave you a little teaser the day before? They can kill off Smackdown for all I care, it's just two hours of recaps and fillers. I just wish the WWE would stop filling time and killing time and start making us care again.

Maven. Nuff Said
Kidding Not kidding
Also the brand split would be hugeeee. And one of my little wants that I don't hear about offer is the opening video packages that showed the stars right before the show started. And one more would be pyro. There is barely any pyro now Adams and I used to mark out when I was you and would see the cool pyro in people's entrances and right before raw started

The "Ruthless Aggression" Era style of WWE. Almost everyone had something to do, we had the roster split(which IMO was a horrible idea ending it) and maximized the roster.

Another thing I'd like to see is less focus on social media.
I feel like they constantly are trying to gain numbers for the Network, the Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc
Nothing wrong with that, but when you constantly dwell on that it becomes a game of getting faceless numbers and followers instead of focusing on your core audience.
I don't watch anymore, I read the boards and if something catches my eye I'll YouTube it. But one of the main reasons I quit watching was the "WWE Did you know we had 10 million followers" and the constant Network plugs, it just got exhausting.
In life, if you're doing the right thing the people will come to you regardless. Constant pandering makes them come off as desperate and careless about the actual product.

Blood, not from an accident though. Nothing ever wrong with blood to make the matches more entertaining IMO. Yup

In Ring psychology and storytelling. It's a forgotten art. Probably the most serious loss. Yeah, complain about no blood, boring sets, brand split... but at it's core, the loss of psychology (and storytelling), is actually damaging to the art form. (This is why I was so hyped on Bayley vs Sasha; probably best use of psychology all year.)

What would you bring back? For me it has to be either Kayfabe (huge one) or storylines for everyone. Back in the AE everyone had something for them. Nowadays it's the usual "Creative has nothing for them". This meant to meaningful PPV cards and victories meant something because these people had established feuds/personality. I can't say anything better than that really. But if I had to say something else I would simply say bring back Torrie Wilson
