WWE needs to put effort into their shows like they used to, so they can become good again.

I think the main thing they lack is starpower. Nobody on the roster bar Cena has the ability to draw a crowd and really connect with the audience like The Rock or Austin did. That and a lack of competition.

WWE needs to put effort into their shows like they used to, so they can become good again. Easy to say, near impossible to do. WWE don't need to do anything. They're trying to work on their new set of stars for when HBK, Taker, etc. all get up and go (in the coming years id assume). They've done a good job. Edge, Cena, Batista, Currently building Punk, etc. etc. So i see no reason for them to do anything. They've been doing what they're doing for many decades. Im sure they can work through this. You might not like the product on TV, ratings may be a little low, but they're still making a fortune. Ratings and PPV buys steadily decreased as the web became more popular, in my opinion. I don't watch WWE very often, but i keep up to date on the news and rumors and so forth. I'm sure im not the only one. |

I dont think Cena draws as many little kids as people want to believe, to be perfectly honest. I think hes more hated than hes liked.

I think the WWE needs to form a big group like they had back then the NWO,and LOD etc.I hope they carry this womens divison out on Smackdown and design a new title for them.

Honestly, they need to focus on wrestling. I have no drive or motivation to watch the current stuff. I do read results to keep up with everything, but I haven't watched a full episode in quite some time. I find the shows boring and unwatchable for a variety of reasons, including:
- Not enough wrestling
- Too much hollywood involved with their product
- No realism or believablility (as odd as it may seem)
- Have titles and matches mean something
With the expection of a few PPVs and shows, I don't watch the current product.

I agree the need to spend more time with the wreslting and bring up new talent that can wreslte at different speeds they have one or two the new guy on ECW and Mysterio.They have titles and they don't defend them in matches at all and no motovation for matches.

When John Cena sells the most merchandise, has the most visible amount of T-shirts from fans at the number one show of the year, and as Hellboy posted, gets the most signs out of anyone on the roster, well, I don't think he is more hated than liked. |

WWE need set up a guy who like as Austin, Rock etc. But now they use Jeff hardy, Cena etc who like as Rock and Austin, which wasn't good.

Honestly, I think WWE only needs to change a little bit to make the whole thing great.
I think up to and a little past Wrestlemania 24 the product was top-notch, but it has slipped just a bit lately due to one reason ...
The rosters. The fact is, WWE has truly exhausted all the interesting feuds to be done with the current rosters and I sort of wish the draft had been done earlier, like the night after WM24 or even the night after Backlash. I think once things get mixed up a bit and we get fresh feuds it will be better.
But I also do wish we got longer TV matches on RAW, especially.

WWE needs to form new tag teams and longer matches on RAW.

add more drama and suspence to story lines like going personal or taking the rivalry outside in the parking lot

add more drama and suspence to story lines like going personal or taking the rivalry outside in the parking lot thats a good idea...i think they should end the seperate shows too..combine everything and you will have more tv time to build a feud on each show out of the week...instead of this money give away stuff..use the money to keep people on the roster or put it back in the company..its not gaining any viewers .. |

Right now WWE's main problem is rehashing old story lines. Basically, they haven't come up with anything new. Let's look back to the most recent big feuds. Orton/Triple H(this one was inevitable as Orton basically beat everyone on RAW), Cena/JBL, Hardy/Umaga, Triple H/Cena, Edge/Batista. All of these feuds have been done before, and people are sick of seeing the same things. Now, we all know Triple H and Cena will draw more than any other main event feud at the moment, but ratings are going to slip because people just don't want to tune in and see the same stuff. WWE's other main problem, is their focus on things other than building story lines and putting on matches. For example, Million Dollar Mania. We all know it's a shameless ratings ploy, but did it work, not at all. All it is is a waste of time while old man McMahon tries to figure out how to work telephones that don't spin. The entire segment where Charlie Haas got kissed and the segment where Vince got Rick Roll'd twice and hung up on the dude, took 5+ minutes each. I know it doesn't sound like a lot, but this takes away time for matches to get decent time on television and to give us what we tune in for, wrestling. I don't think main draws are a concern right now on RAW, as Triple H and John Cena are both at huge popularity, but Smackdown has not one big star at the moment. Batista is a fan favorite, but there is not one single way anyone can sit here and tell me he is a huge draw. Taker will fill that void when he comes back, but then again, we are right back to Taker/Edge once again.
The Draft needs to severely shake things up. I don't want some bullcrap like Snitsky jumping from RAW to ECW, kind of like the crap we got in the last Draft Lottery. They need to move some major stars. I'm not talking Matt Hardy or say somebody like John Morrison. I'm talking somebody like Cena, HBK, etc. Somebody that will add some fresh feuds. I don't think at this point SD can take another blow. They cannot lose any of their major stars, as they are short on main eventers as it is. They need to gain somebody big that can give Edge more feuds, and would have a fresh main event scene. Jericho would be a good choice, but with his recent heel turn, it may not work, seeing as Edge is a heel. Of course, with Taker coming back, a heel Jericho feuding with a mega face Taker for the title could pull in some viewers.

Keep signing guys from ROH and the major indies, tbh. I'm tired of seeing green wrestlers with little personality come up from WWE's developmental system... there are guys in ROH that can fill the void of Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, Kurt Angle, etc. with personalities to go with them. Chris Jericho, HBK, Edge, and Taker aren't going to be around forever to hold up the workrate end of sports entertainment. WWE needs to heavily promote guys like CM Punk, MVP, and Paul Burchill and try to get their hands on guys like Austin Aries, Bryan Danielson, and Claudio Castagnoli.

The problem isn't the lack of talent on the roster. The WWE has the most talented roster anywhere. Guys who are jerking the curtain for them would be main eventing in indy feds. I think the problem is they haven't made any new stars in a long, long time. The last guy I can remember who was an unknown or mid-carder that they pushed to the main event and is still around the main event is Cena. They have no Stone Cold, Hogan or Rock -like guys on the roster right now and no one who looks like they could be that person. They also have no really hot angles running either.

Cut back on the the amount of PPVS.
Build characters ready or tv rather than bringing new guys up then working on the chracter after theyve already been on tv.
Make feuds that mean something. For example Jeff Hardy vs Orton at the start of 2008.
Turn John Cena heel
Make some factions
Change commentry on raw
Make the superstars seem special again. What reason have we been given to care about DH Smith, Bam Neely etc
In many ways ECW is actually being booked better than Raw and Smackdown at the moment. its simple yet effective.
Dont build guys up only for the push to go nowhere (eg Carlito Santino etc once the the damage is done its hard to repair their standing on the card)
