What do you think WWE's problems are? How would you go about fixing them if you were in WWE's shoes?
WWE certaintly has a lot of problems right now. They've had the WWE championship on the same guy for the better part of three years. Their tag team division, while getting better, is still in shambles, along with their women's division. They push back good talent, while giving pushes to lackluster talent with little to no wrestling skills. It seems to me like they are trying to put on the worst show possible, knowing that people will still watch.
What I'd like to see WWE do is get the belt off of Cena. Put it on someone like Mr. Kennedy or Carlito. Even Triple H for a while would be better than Cena. Abolish the two tag team titles, taking it down to one and put it one one show. Having two tag titles is'nt working. You need to have one show focus on tag teams. I'd do away with the women's division altogether.
And my biggest piece of advice: Revamp the cruiserweight divsion. The CW division is very sad right now. WWE has some great cruiserweights who are not being allowed to show their skills. They can put on good matches, let them do it. Stop holding them back.
Anyways thats my two cents, whats yours?

Great question. I would like to see John Cena lose the title too. I'd love to see Triple H reform Evolution as a heel group and go after Cena. I think the fans would prefer to see Cena as the underdog chasing the title rather than the indestructible champ they are seeing now. The heel Evolution could operate on both Smackdown and Raw. I think they should call it a day with ECW, it's not working (maybe for the Sci Fi Channel it is but not for the viewers!). Maybe get the ECW roster try and takeover Smackdown creating an invasion type angle. That would keep things a little different on SD.
Another good idea would be to cut down the number of PPV's. Once a month is too much. Get rid of 3-4 and that a PPV has much more prestige attached to it. Let storylines develop over a number of weeks.
Get McMahon and his illegitamate (sp?) child running havoc in the WWE.
Get the tag teams all on one brand and the cruiserweights on the other. Kill of the womens title, get rid of half the Divas and then put the others as managers.

Good ideas has well, I especially liked the idea of reforming Evolution and having them go after Cena. I could see that working. I'm not sure I would do away with ECW completley, I'd rather see it back in Heyman's hands. Add more ECW orginals and hardcore mtches to make it more like the orginal ECW. It should get plenty of viewers, look at how well ECW One Night Stand(The first one) did. All in all you have some really good ideas. Maybe WWE needs to get online and look at them, then actually put them into practice. Listening to your fans never hurts.

Thanks dude!
ECW could be revived, but I think Heyman and McMahon don't see eye to eye, besides, McMahon likes to meddle too much. The big reason why ECW failed (in my eyes anyway) is the fact that they have made it too WWE. The best way to revive it is to go back to doing small venues like they did in the past, that way ECW has it's identity back and only hardcore ECW fans will go to watch it, thus creating the awesome atmosphere we are used to. I remember Cena vs RVD at One Night Stand 2 - the place was electric. At the moment ECW is taped before Smackdown so people going to watch Rey Mysterio have no idea who Balls Mahoney is!

They need to remove Steph MacMahon as the head booker/writer and bring back Paul Heyman to take her spot. (Good luck on getting that past Vince)
I would cut down on all the BS storylines like MVP/Hardy not wrestling, Eugene in anything, Vince in anything that has nothing to do with wrestling, Regal as a game show host ect.
I'd have anyone on any show be able to go for a title. This allows for workers to move to other programs as needed without a draft. I think that champions should be able to defend on any show also.
It might even be time to cut workers and merge rosters again.
I agree with pushing Kennedy or Carlito. I like Nitro/Morrison getting a push in ECW but I would switch him back out with Orton. Morrison to RAW and Orton to ECW. Orton needs work IMO.
My biggest problem is that when WWE has the talent, they don't use it. Look at RVD. They didn't use him and he didn't resign a contract. What a waste. The cruiserweights are not allowed to do all the great moves they have because WWE doesn't want to be responsible for injuries that could ruin storylines.
That's a few ideas.

Those are really good ideas. I'd especially like to see Heyman given back control of ECW. Without him ECW has turned into a joke. Thanks for replying, you had some really great ideas. I agree 100 percent that WWE holds back good talent, but I don't see that changing anytime soon.
