Now I've heard all the things that have been said about USA wanting WWE to bring back the Attitude Era, so on and I disagree. You can never completely duplicate an era of wrestling and you can never recreate something ... HOWEVER, if there is one thing I think WWE should focus on bringing back, I'd say it should be the extracurricular activities ... such as. Remember back when Austin was edgy and would attack Bret Hart about 7 times a night on RAW and get arrested. That was cool. NWO in the production room. Hell, even Undertaker w/ the Ministry. That grandoise, well put together extracurricular stuff. Even dating to 2001 when you had Austin and Booker T fight in a grocery store. We don't see that so much anymore. We either have wrestling (which we need MORE of as well) or these long, drawn out and boring interviews and promos. i just think we need more of that edgy backstage stuff going on. I don't want to duplicate the attitude era, but I think that is one thing that would help.

yeah, and get Khali to unify both world titles while you're at it. *rolls eyes*
If I could tell them to do anything, it'd be to ADD THE ELEMENT OF SUPRISE.
It's so hard to do that now with the internet. Everything that happens is usually known in advance. Things like debuts, finishes, title changes, etc. Even as recently as the first version of the nWo, NOBODY knew who the infamous "3rd man" would be because the secret was so guarded. I just feel doing things like this would give us more incentive to keep watching.
Also, title changes for the midcard & tag belts on house shows would be a way to improve revenue.

I just feel doing things like this would give us more incentive to keep watching. Absolutely correct. The last real surprise in WWE was when Eric Bischoff returned as the RAW GM. In order for a surprise to really work though, it has to include a name that means something. The surprise return of say... Rosey, would be kinda neat but it wouldn't really mean anything. The return of Scott Hall, on the other hand, would make an impact. Vince has been notoriously moronic with his money the last couple of years. He'd waste money attempting to market useless wastes of space like Snitsky or the Spirit Squad but he wouldn't spend money on Brock Lesnar when Lesnar was ready to return. He'd rather spend millions to bring in Donald Trump. The company no longer has a connection with the audience. The entire "Creative" team needs to be fired and reconstituted with guys that understand the product and are capable of booking to the strength of their roster. Unfortunately, that's the way Paul Heyman booked, so Princess Stephanie automatically sees that as a bad idea. Because, y'know, she's a complete and utter moron like that. |

I don't think you fire Cena. I do think you repackage him as a slightly modified character. I do agree with the thread starter though.

Bring back the Brawl For All. I think I was the only mark for that entry into the "Wrestlecrap" history books.

I think they need to take away before they add. Take away and then add. Take away meaning brand split, ECW, titles, etc.

They have pretty much ditched much backstage action... I mean i even think the hardcore belt could bring some good things to the WWE... defended on all 3 brands... something different from what we have...
