If you bought WWE what would be the first thing you immediately change
>>
>>20419414
Get all of those shitty advertisements off the sacred mat
>>
>>20419414
>get rid of all the advertisements
>play video packages instead of commercials
>have at least one non-standard match per show (TLC match/Lumberjack match/strap match/whatever)
>limit women's wrestling to one per show
>bring back corporate struggle dynamic (Stone Cold/Vince feud)
>ban ballerina moves like leapfrogging and turnbuckle jumping
>make wrestlers who suck at thigh slapping stop it (some are great at it like Shawn Michaels)
>more spots involving obliterating the ref instead of just bumping him
>spots where commentators get caught up in the fight and get injured
>more involved entrances like lightning shooting down and The Rock appeared who walked down to Cody
>more attitude era backstage promos of cars blowing up or wrestlers getting sent through walls
>>
>>20419468
That you, Vince? Lol. Some good choices there. Leapfrogs have been a staple in wrestling for decades though. Thigh slaps do have to go. Johnny Gargano is going out there every week in a dumpster hat with the Miz yelling boring at him over the mic, while Candace wrestles in pudding matches
I’d also bring back the heel referee. No more 5 match cards. 7/8 minimum with one pre show. No celebrity worship. I pay for the thing, my rules.
>>
>>20419414
Nothing, the company is objectively the best it's ever been.

And your company is now worth $0

>>20419414
I'd add a pretaped Lucha Underground type show to the programming and try to shop it off to like Hulu or something. Make a focus on cinematic matches and over the top character work to really try to push for a different audience.
I'd bring back a house show circuit because it helps talent stay warm and connected to the crowd.
>>
end all the shit content shows (evolve,LFG,ect)
raw smackdown NXT and AAA would be the only televised shows
bring back house shows
>>
I'd make myself world champion.
>>
House show are back. You work full time or you don’t work at all.
>>
>>20419656
Scrubbing the dude wipes offf the mat can be offset by running 4 house shows a month. There is zero need for advertisements alll over the show when the television deals are worth billions

>Fire wrestlers who can't do a proper abdominal stretch in a match, in the correct time, this is a basic ring psychology test
>Fire almost all the writers and managers, we'll have to see who was in charge of a few choice wrestlers down fall
>Rehire Kross and Gacy, put them over as the main heel duo in Smackdown...
>Bring back heel and face refs, this is a lost art that benefits the show if done right

You fucking gayew pedos are now fantasy booking yourselves as owner of WWE?! Holy kek! Just when we thought you could get any more fucking sad/pathetic you do something cringe like this and totally redeem yourself.

I would sell all tape libraries to the owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars

Remove all Coconuts.
Every last one.
There are many things I would do but that would be the very first.
>>
>>20419414
Change the name back to WWF.
>>
>>20419414
There's a lot to change so I'll just suggest what I would change with the shows themselves which I find unwatchable.
>No more advertisements than what you had in the late 90's.
>Cancel Smackdown or move it to a pre-taped monthly show down the line.
>Raw is now a 2 hour weekly show, most of the fodder in the roster today can fuck off elsewhere as they're no longer needed.
>PPV's cut down to the big 4, no more monthly PPV's to pad out the calendar without there being a storyline reason for them.
>To compensate the PPV cut down, I would then have 2-3 yearly 2 hour InYourHouse style PPV's that would be scheduled spontaneously with no more than a month in advance whenever a certain feud catches fire with the fans.
>House shows are a thing again. If you appeared on RAW, you need to show up for house shows twice a week, otherwise it's three times a week.
>NXT is now divided into 4 weekly 1 hour territory style shows, each with their own unique style and philosophies according to the two bookers responsible for each show. Example: NXT California (booked by Undertaker and Rey Mysterio), NXT Texas (booked Steve Austin and Shawn Michaels), etc. House shows (within the respective state only) are also a thing.
>>
Do a drama miniseries on the "early days" with netflix or paramount. Start in the territories with a fictional wrestler the audience can see things through and follow his ups and downs to the start of Vince taking over
>>

>totally redeem yourself
hey brother maybe look up the words before you use them i know thats a big one but i think you can do it
>>
>>20419414
no more worked shoots or faux realism. gimmicks are back. non title storylines are prioritized

Cease all operations immediately

This thread is disappointing me
How the fuck has no one said "fire Michael Cole" yet?
>>
>>20420003
I was going to say to do something much worse than that, but firing him will suffice I guess.
>>
>>20420003
Because while Cole is bad on commentary, he's far from being one of the most pressing issues in the company, so people are gonna say other things instead
>>
>>20419414
make a fourth brand and dump all the womeme shit on there so that no one has to be forced to watch it on the real shows
>>
>>20419414
I would make Paul come out on live tv. Get on his knees and apologize for killing the company, killing Chyna and fucking over the fans for the past 20+ years then fire him
>>
>>20419414
I'd hire Kairi Sane again
>>
>>20419414
fire about 90% of the black brown and bug "wrestlers" hired over the years. Same with the "whites."
Send most of NXT to actual developmental and pull some more indie guys to fill it out.
Grab Leon Slater from TNA now before they get wise.
Start using a lot of these ex TNA guys like Abyss that are doing nothing as producers in active roles helping creative and doing road agent work.
Bring back the old big gold title. Cut out extra belts. Remove samoa.

Unionize it. Just to see what happens.
>>
>>20419414
>Remove ads off of the ring and not run as many commercials. You can put a company logo in the upper right corner for about 30-45 seconds, then do another one for that time frame then stop and have all commercial breaks be picture in picture.
>Do more house shows. It doesn't need to be the breakneck pace of the 80's, but run them on Saturday and Sunday every other week unless a PLE is scheduled, then you'd run no shows.
>Be OK with talent doing outside projects but with approval. If Chelsea Green got a movie offer, but it calls for a nude scene ask how gratuitous it would be. If it fits with the plot and classy then prove it. If it's like an 80's fratboy movie where there's boobs all over the place, then you'd tell her to decline the offer.
>Have creative come up with stories for everyone on the roster so you don't end up paying anyone to sit in catering for months on end. Get some value and work out of the roster.
>>
>>20419682
Taking them off the mat is one thing. Which I'm 100% for by the way. "Getting rid of all advertisements" is just not financially viable from a business standpoint

Make roman work and job him out every single night. Every Raw, Every Smackdown, Every Main Event everything. I will rehire little bastard so he can have the same exact fued he had with chavo guerroro completely copied and pasted only its roman, and roman never wins.
I don't know if it will make the company profitable or improve ratings I just know it will make me feel better after the past almost 14 years of his bullshit
Hes not based
He's not that big
He's definitely not a dog
Ok admittingly worked

I wouldnt consider myself a snark but I've been a lifelong wrestlingfan and a wrestling fan who's used the internet and talked wrestling on the internet and watches discussions of said wrestling since 2006 so I guess I could be called a smark.

Because Cole isn't even that bad. It's not Cole's fault that he has to do what they tell him to do. What is it supposed to say? Go fuck yourself. I'm not going to show this shit overly excitedly you can tell he's fucking pissed at this shit. He's got a feign excitement, though if we were talking a while back one could argue that he was the most insufferable part of the show, but Cole's pretty good for commentary

They should do this, but against TKO.

You would as the owner and person in charge. Make your employees unionize just to see what problems that would give you and your company? I have never seen a boss in all of my years of fucking working that went out of his way to be like you know what people who work for me and these companies you need to form a union. That's what you need and I'm okay with that.
The fuck are you smoking

Beast in the East japan ppv. Supposedly vince wasn’t there to enforce his usual pg word salad bullshit so edrones say “no cole is actually good, this is what he is *really* like”.
>>
Most of it seems to work pretty well.

I would give a little more back to the fans especially kids. Maybe do a couple house shows a month. Get back to the charity and military stuff Vince was so good at. I'd finish the Saudi Arabia deal up and do another one but with less at stake. Giving them their own PLEs is one thing but the Rumble there really killed any momentum to mania.

Keep doing the biography and antiques stuff, spend on the little things but keep an eye on the margins, leverage talent in the new landscape.

Extend the existing media deals at less attractive terms if necessary. The future landscape looks unsteady and TKO is lucky to have so much locked down for a few years for now.

Anyway if I owned it as a pet project I'd be fony khan and could just make another AEW.

I'd rather be Ari

I would bring back the Hardcore Title.
And the 24/7 Title.

Except I would combine them. A 24/7 Hardcore Title that is elevated as high as the WWE Champion title. Backstage promos where the holder gets attacked randomly and has to defend at any given moment. Promos in a park where the holder gets attacked by multiple wrestlers and throws people into ponds.

Every official 24/7 Hardcore Title match in the ring will need to involve blood or tapping out in some way. Weapons, lashing, the whole 9 yards that would elevate a title as high as the Championship. This is where midcarders could shine.

>>20420796
it's literally this easy to print a shit load of money
I thought TKO wanted record profits, so why aren't they giving this anon the book?

>you know he fucking meant the mat
I didn't though. Ads have become a pretty big issue and talking point. Even between matches. Saying get rid of them all means a lot more than just what's on the mat these days. Also relax. A lot. Look how worked up you are over a fake hypothetical discussion about pro wrestling on the internet lmao

Instead of bringing back house shows and jacking up expenses, I'm opening up a booking agency that's open to anyone on the roster (even if it'll most likely just be people I have no creative for).
>If you can cover the equivalent of a day rate on their contract (basically $1000 if you're on the main roster minimum) along with accommodations, you can have them for a night. We'll cover any medical as long as it's not retarded Deathmatch shit.
>If you're feeling frisky and want to cover any other expenses, maybe we'll even advertise their appearance just to help you draw a bigger house. Social media at a minimum but if the price is right, maybe we find a quickly work it into the show.
>We have the right to have you put our talent over. If we give you permission to beat them and they go into business for themselves for whatever reason, we'll find a way make it up to you and deal with the faggot internally.
>If you're broadcasting your show, we have the right to any footage involving our talent. If you're not, we might send a witness to capture it (also to prevent any carny shit from going down).

Basically I want the indies to subsidize my expenses. I'm getting a fraction of my labor costs back and my talent is getting reps without having to book house shows. Also helps get a little bit of positive relationship with the indies that are largely not a threat.
