Vince: Roster is about to be bigger than ever

- Stop with the 50/50 booking. The only people that have really gone on to become stars are the ones that either didn't get 50/50 booked (Shield) or broke free of it (Bryan, Punk)
- Give us more character development. You have a three hour Raw and two hour Smackdown. A lot of that time is wasted on A) pointless rematches or B) recaps. Why not put the wwe.com interviews on instead? Those are fantastic and help build someone.
- Please, no more useless distraction finishes. This week's Raw had way too many of those.
- Speaking of this week's Raw, book the champions better. There is no reason for the Women's, IC and Tag Champs to all take a loss in one night. The belts matter people.
- Treat it as competition. I know that the entertainment aspect is important for the casual audience and we all know it's pre-determined, but it wouldn't hurt to make sure wins and losses matter.

That's just some ideas to help off the top of my head.

Get out of here with that logic crazy talk!

Considering the fact that the only guy who they put any effort into booking to look strong is Roman Reigns, more people on the roster is the last thing they need. But I guess they're going to need some new talent to feed to both Roman and Cena when he gets back. Vince will make sure there's plenty to go around for both guys.

roster is larger than ever? pretty sure the invasion era has this capped

And yet, WWE is all sorts of ass to me these days. So much talent and they can't do a damn thing decent with it.

I think it was profitable for a long time. It also gives them more exposure, but at this point, I think you could argue that they're about as visible in a given market as they're going to get. They changed their house show strategy quite significantly around 2005 when JBL was on top of the Smackdown cards and their shows were tanking. It seems like they might be coming upon a need to rethink the strategy again.

I've got a perfect example of their weird tendencies right in my own backyard. WWE used to visit Maine twice a year. We have three viable venues for them to hit - Portland, Augusta, and Bangor. Typically, they'd go in rotation and bring a house show to two out of the three, and then start over the next year with whichever they skipped. In recent years, they've added Lewiston into the mix, and doubled up on their visits. When they run one arena, they tend to sell out. When they run two arenas, they split the audience, fill each building up about 50%, and pay to rent two buildings. They're doing it in July - coming to Bangor on a Saturday night and Augusta on a Sunday afternoon. These venues are less than two hours apart. I'm sandwiched in between the two, and I'll probably hit both shows, but how many people won't do that? Not to mention, they're bringing the same roster, and presumably a similar card, to both. It makes no sense to me, but there must be something that tells them it's the right move. I just don't get it.

The idea of cutting back on house shows does bring about a different discussion though - wrestler pay. I wonder how many guys would be willing to take a pay cut in exchange for several extra days a month at home with their families? It's an interesting scenario.

Why? We just see the same people over and over again as it is. My guess is they cask more people up, others get misused and instead of trying to correct the mistake, we'll see a second round of cuts.

Can anyone read? It's been posted in this thread at least twice. He didn't say 13 new talents would be debuting, he said they have introduced 13 new talents. Past tense!!!!
