How would you fix WWE in 10 moves. The order doesn't matter. Signings or making someone come back from an injury early isn't allowed. Firings don't really count, I'm not paying the guys...let them (hacksaw, venis, balls mahoney) job for all I care
1) Push WGTT or break them up. Both guys are too talented not to be on T.V. With so many guys out on both SD! and RAW shelton and Haas could be upper-mid card superstars. 04-05 Shelton was awesome. Haas was solid in April of 06.
2)When HHH returns put him on SD!. he needs to be the champ and right now Raw doesn't suit him.
3) Put C.M. Punk on Raw, they need mid-card faces. He doesn't need to be in WWe's developmental territory anymore
4) Embellish ECW's face roster. Give them Super Crazy, Rey Mysterio (when he returns), Sandman (he is an original what's he even doing off ECW). Super Crazy and Sandman have no future on either brand. Rey Mysterio will bring in ratings and really help the brand...+ he is an original. Nitro vs Rey = solid
5) Embellish Smackdown's tag division. Highlanders are a joke on raw, send them to smackdown. Cryme Tyme was great a few weeks back on SD!...send them there to fight deuce and domino.
6) Send Batista to Raw. Made a post earlier. He has run his course on Smackdown. Raw needs a face without Lashley and Jeff Hardy (who is hurt, neck and back = bad stuff)
7) Send Eugene back to raw. Turn Regal face, team them back up. They fight murdock and cade for the tag titles.
8) Turn marcus Cor Von Face and make him a legit ECW title contender.
9) Have all the titles actually defends on TV, like it was in the attitude era.
10) Orton goes Over Cena at Summerslam. No explanation needed.
So To Sume things up:
Raw Gets:
Batista
Cm Punk
Eugene
ECW gets:
Rey Mysterio
Sandman
Super Crazy
Smackdown Gets:
HHH
Cryme Tyme
Highlanders
discuss and make your own

1. End the brand split
2. Fire the dead weight
3. Fire the writers, except Michael Hayes and Dusty Rhodes
4. Put Bischoff and Heyman in charge of booking. Hell, maybe even Kevin Sullivan.
5. Give HHH the world title.
6. Bring back Jericho
7. Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, SummerSlam, Survivor Series are the only PPV's.
8. Since the brand split is gone, end ECW.
9. Let the wrestlers do moves that they want, don't limit them.
10. Make the women's division better.

1) Break up WGTT. Have Ric Flair manage Shelton Benjamin on Smackdown. Shelton is talented enough to be at the top, he just needs a little bit of help, and Flair can give him that, especially since he isn't doing much. Perhaps build Flair as the new Heenan with his own stable of wrestlers
2) Orton over Cena at Summerslam. Cena needs a break of the title. Let him stay in the picture for the merch and his fans, but keep the belt off of him for a while.
3) Rebuild the cruiserweight division. Take away the move limitations, and tell them to go all out. Forget about copying TNA, because TNA have screwed up that division anyways. Build the division up as a revolution in wrestling. Again who cares if it's similar to TNA, because it'll entertain fans. Let the heavyweights get over with gimmiks, maybe give belt different name
4) CM Punk to Smackdown. They need more faces. CM can remain in the main event scene, but he needs some fresh meat, and Smackdown won't hurt him. Can put on an awesome fued with MVP if you want to keep him midcard for a bit.
5) Remove one Tag titles and U.S, make other tag, IC and women's (along with cruiser) cross brand. Let the champ show up on both shows too. This way there are more space on PPV's the promote non-title matches, plus you get more interesting matches, and Victoria won't be wasted.
6) Characters have more control over promos. Yes you risk getting duds, but you won't find any new Rock characters if they can't talk on their own accord. It helps them learn about their character by writing their own stuff, so they will be more believeable
7) Faces to ECW. They need them desperately. Super Crazy could work in the mid card. Might be a good chance to see whether Matt can carry a major title with ECW, plus he could entertain with Burke & Morrison. Maybe Rey too
8) Burchill & Cabana to a show. Get him on TV with his Ripper Gimmik. Doesn't matter what show, just get him wrestling. Colt Cabana could do a good job replacing Punk on ECW.
9) Jericho. Yes you said hiring doesn't count but Jericho on RAW will defiently go a long way to fixing WWE.
10) Be wary of TNA. They aren't competition yet but you can learn from mistakes they make. Make sure to have both quality wrestling and storylines. Push the right people, and remember, they don't have to be big. AJ Styles is popular in TNA not because of his size, but because of his talent. Let the wrestlers be themselves. Forcing cookie cutter styles will not entertain, and won't give them their new super-duper star they seem desperate to find

1. Treat Smackdown as though it were an actual show, not a joke
2. End ECW - fire the dead weight, send the talent to Raw or Smackdown respectively
3. Build a credible future - Kennedy, Punk, Carlito, Benjamin, Haas, Burke, Matt Hardy, and more will one day rule the company - treat them that way
4. Cut the dead weight - Great Khali, Mark Henry, etc, etc
5. Cut back to twelve Pay-Per-Views a year
6. Heel champions are more fun to watch - give us one (that people actually care about)
7. Bring back the credibility to mid-card titles (via well built feuds, deep characters and storylines)
8. Do whatever is humanly possible to bring Chris Jericho back ASAP
10. John Cena is NOT Superman, stop treating him as such, if you don't, the fans will turn on him again

I like the idea of ending the brand split...but there will be too much unused talent. Too many guys to fire. ECW would have to become 2 hours, or else not enough talent would get on

1. Cancel ECW and move CM Punk, Elijah Burke and John Morrison to Smackdown so there can be some feuds for the World Title. Smackdown is lacking star power.
2. Bring back The Rock haha I wish.
3. Hire Paul heyman as head writer.
4. Get a good tag team division going somehow like in the Attitude era

1. I'd get rid of ECW then set up Raw & Smackdown with equal amount of main eventers.
2. Set up the new Hart Foundation on Smackdown. Occassionally bring in Bret Hart to give these guys the star-rub.
2. I'd give Smackdown the Cruisers & Tag Division and give Raw a Hardcore division to establish strong differences between the two brands.
3. I'd further push the idea of Smackdown being a more wrestling based show with Raw focusing more on entertainment. Let Smackdown be built as the idea that this show is the Future with guys like Kenny, Carlito, Morrison, CM Punk, Shelton, Kenneddy etc.
4. Remove all restrictions on cruiserweights, no longer have to work a WWE style instead make it a more high flying faster paced matches
5. Set up the new Hart Foundation on Smackdown. Occassionally bring in Bret Hart to give these guys the star-rub. With focus onSD on wrestling & cruisers these guys could go far.
6. On Raw have Cena as he is. Yeah some fans don't like it but he's still the bggest face draw they have. Dominates Orton who is boring as F**k then build up towards Cena vs. HHH
7. Get rid of all the Dead weight. Guyslike Val Venus, Mark Henry, Sniztsky etc. Yeah some have been with the company for awhile but if they offer nothing to the show then they should be dropped and money used to bring back guys instead who can actually offer something.
8. Get rid of the women's division and the Diva search. The matches suck & draw nothing, obviously keep the women on TV as eye candy but keep them away from the freaking ring as they offer nothing & take away time for guys who actually have something to offer.
9. Drop back down to between 8-10 PPV's. Yes I know it could mean a drop in revenue but idea is fewer PPV's with more build up means people more likely to pay for matches that actually mean something rather than buying yet another PPV just because you are expected to when no effort has been put into building them up. Continue idea of interbrand PPV's and keeping all speciality matches for PPV only son fans have a reason to part with their cash. If they can see a cage match every other week on TV for free why would they pay for a HIAC bout?
10. Continuing from this, work to make all PPV's have a different feel to them which establishes them for a specifice reason.
For example one PPV has an Elimination Chamber match every year, RR obviously has the Rumble match, WM the ONLY show of each year to have matches with wrestlers facing their counterparts from the other brand, a PPV has the returning War Games as the main event, Survivor Series bring back the classic theme of survivor 4/5 man tag bouts etc. Anything to make the regular PPV's have a different feel to them as right now they just tend to blend into each other.

I don't know about 10 steps, but here's a few.
1. Take the WWE Championship off John Cena. Yes, he sells shows, but he's very stale.
2. Bring back a decent tag division. How awesome was it in 2000 and early 2001?
3. Re-create a decent Cruiserweight division. Make the title mean something. Billy Kidman vs. Tajiri from Backlash 2002 is still one of my favourite Cruiserweight matches of all time.
4. Introduce an Extreme Championship into ECW. Similar to the Hardcore Championship, this way, we could have more extreme matches in ECW, because right now, I feel like I'm watching Velocity.
5. Push William Regal. I don't get it. He has a huge fan base. He's excellent on the mic. He always puts on an entertaining match. Main event material.
6. Push and develop the mid-card Superstars such as Cody Rhodes, Carlito, Masters ect. Remember when Carlito and Masters both received pushes in 2005? I enjoyed seeing that.
7. Less of the squash matches against local 'unknown' wrestlers. Last week on SmackDown, last week on Raw, this week on Raw and this week on ECW. It's getting pathetic, use Heat for that.
There's at least seven.

1) Make the draft more meaningful. 14 PPVs a year, 4 Joint PPVs, 4 RAW PPVs and 4 SD PPVS. ECW gets 2 PPVs.
2) ECW has a hour and a half time slot and the roster would be thickened.
3) Draft trades
To RAW
-Boogeyman
-Elijah Burke
-The Miz
-The Majors brothers
To ECW
-William Regal
-Matt Hardy
-Kenny Dykstra
-Super Crazy
-Shelton Benjamin
To SD
-Viscera
-Daivari
-Sandman
-Lashley
4) Re-Hire/Bring up Harry Smith (RAW), TJ Wilson (RAW), Nattie Neidhart (RAW), Mikey/Johnny/Mitch (Reform SS with these 3 guys. RAW
5) the SD Tag titles would be dropped when Deuce and Domino jump to raw and unify the titles with Murdoch/Cade.
6) The CW Title would move to ECW, and the Womans title would move to SD.
The title scene would be
RAW - WWE, IC, Tag
SD - World, Us, Womans
ECW - ECW World, CW
7) John Cena would retain vs Orton, however Ken Kennedy, Booker T, Carlito, Orton among others would start to dominate the WWE title scene, a heel champion would be crowned at Unforgiven..not Orton. Booker T or Ken Kennedy.
8) The main event scene would be
RAW Top Heels - Kennedy, Booker T, Umaga, Carlito and Orton
Raw Top Babyfaces - Cena, Jeff Hardy, Triple H, Shawn Michaels,
ECW Top Heels - Regal, Burke, Shelton Benjamin, Cor Von, Kenny Dykstra
ECW TOp Faces - Matt Hardy, CM Punk, Super Crazy, Tommy Dreamer
SD Top Heels - Edge, Khali, Viscera, Mark Henry, Finlay, MVP,
SD Top Babyfaces - Batista, Kane, Rey Mysterio, Lashley
Thats all I got right now

Cody just got there. Get your panties out of a bunch. Other than that I agree with you. |

1. Cut PPVS down to 6 a year (Royal Rumble, WrestleMaina, King of the Ring, Great American Bash, SummerSlam, & Survivor Series)
2. Have a 2-hour free supershow (like WCW Clash of the Champions) on months a PPV doesn't occur
3. Don't limit in-ring move sets
4. Give the titles credibility, meaning champions get a bonus, raise, etc. Something to make being a champion prestigious.
5. Teach wrestlers how to sell and not over sell (more realism)
6. Have only the wrestlers know the outcome of a match (more realism)
7. End ECW and turn a small group of wrestlers into a stable
8. Turn Cena Heel
9. Send SD! some higher star power
10. Give tag team and cruiserweight matches some credibility
