>hurr durr WWE sucks right now
Okay then Mr Smartypants, how would YOU do things differently?
>>
i would stop watching, and thats what no one did
>>
>>20667259
Kill the Bloodline and fire every coconut for a start.
>>
>>20667307
>go against the somoans
>they release all of the dirt they have on Vince
>WWE gets shut down
Well done
>>
>>20667259
How about doing absolutely anything else besides coconut theater? Don't you get bored if it going on for like the past 9 years with the same shit?
>>
>>20667259
>Okay then Mr Smartypants, how would YOU do things differently?
I'd have a guy who wrestles with his hands in his pockets, to show everyone that wink nudge, we know it's shit, so it's okay.
Then I'd find the smallest guy on the roster and have him beat the world champ clean in 2 minutes.
>>
>>20667329
I'd expand on this idea by taking those two guys and killing them with a hammer
>>
>>20667259
Stop listening to crybaby smarks. The show isn't perfect but it isn't outright bad. Raw was actually great last night and idc if you hatewatched it and thought it sucked.
>>
>>20667325
I think if they were going to do this again they could have started it back up around Survivor Series since they're trying to lead up to SaudiMania and a match between Rock and Roman, and there isn't that much story to tell that it needs to fill up a whole year
>>
>>20667347
I thought so too but i liked what they did last night with Fatu being Roman's attack dog that only he can control. It was rough getting here but im started to be interested in where they are going with it
>>
LA Knight botching his way to Undisputed Champion
Gable as Intercontinental Champ and have him and his American Alpha disciples hold every tag team title, even the womemes yes, while feuding with AAA tag teams
Dom or LoGOD as US champ
Make someone "botch" Je'von's finish so he gets a career-ending injury then fire all the black wrestlers, have Liv part of their severance package. Fire Sami.
Continue Cody and Gunther's feud to a proper series.
Either repackage the Samoans as actual Samoans or fire them along with the blacks since they're siggers anyways.
Have Drew retired Punk after a year long feud
Make Puta Vaquer Womeme champ the rest of the womemes can do whatever.
Some other miscellaneous storylines here and there.
>>
>>20667361
Guila & Steph panties vs panties match.
>>
>>20667259
Fire all the Samoans not named Jacob Fatu or Roman Reigns
Fire Rhea, Becky, B-Fab, Michin, Jade, the Bellas, Paige and Tiffany
Fire HHH and Nick Khan
Bring Vince back and give him unlimited power over all of the WWE portion of TKO
>>
>>20667466
>Bring Vince back and give him unlimited power over all of the WWE portion of TKO
He would immediately rehire all the Samoans tard
>>
>>20667272
I haven't watched the tv since wrestlemania last year and after the espn deal i barely watch any of the ppvs even pirated. I knew and appreciated every enjoyable minute that was 2024 the best year of wrestling I watched since I was a kid during the attitude era. But that whole year I knew that bad times would arise at some point and then when they did they shifted fast and it became worse than I even prepped myself for.
EGA v EGA was amazing though and I may honestly just start watching AAA but even then WWE will fuck that up too because its in their nature to fuck up any good thing they have.
How would I have done things differently?
Had solo beat roman
Have roman go through some sort of character change where he apologizes.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say he still hasnt apologized to the uso, or sami, or any of the people he cheated to retain against. Roman has had no accountability and he still beats everyone. The coconut theater should have ended along time ago but clearly we're still in the bottom of a 5th inning in the world's longest metaphorical baseball game that at this rate will assuredly also run into overtime
>>
>>20667344
It was pretty good but I think they have an issue with the Bloodline thing as it is heel and there is no real big face presence so the show feels incomplete. They still aren't pulling the trick on Knight vs. Roman and it's mostly alow burn storytelling plus the fact that we know the Knight storyline will take time and the Fatu thing will also take time, we know that any immediate challengers are not beating Roman. Really, the only way to pay this off is to have Knight win with the Bloodline turning on Roman or something.
>>
>>20667259
Give usos tag belts. Give Fatu the IC. Let Roman hold the wwe title (with whc). Let them all hold the titles for 2 years. Recruit solo. Let solo win US title. Let them all hold titles for another three years. No friction in the bloodline. Or if it is, never break them up. They have no reason for internal conflict since they have all the gold. They can also recruit Nia Jax for the women's titles.
>>
>>20667479
Yea im surprised there isn't a more mixed reaction when the bloodline are working heel as fuck. Even LA get huge pops and then they cheer when he gets his ass kicked. Roman showing up at the WH UFC event didnt even get him heat with the leftists in the audience. Im not sure what they can do.
>>
>>20667259
have wrestlers actually do things other than stand in the ring talking to each other. austin used to run over cars with monster trucks and spray people down with beer or attack them in hospitals. literally have them do anything other than the nothing they have them doing now
>>
>>20667514
This is a good point, they haven't even thrown someone into a big pile of production equipment with a huge explosion of sparks and shit in ages
>>
>>20667259
same story and same people keep winning.
>>
>>20667259
Probably merge half the belts. I'd also have more overlap between shows. Maybe cut down on in ring time and replace it with more out of ring stuff like silly matches. I remember one Austin and Booker T in a supermarket so vividly that it was probably the thing that kept me watching more than anyway.

That doesn't sell tickets at PLE 5 2026 though, so it is probably bad for business. I love the silly shit that happens on the side during a house show because live shows are an opportunity to mark out. Fuck it i'll yeet with my nephew when I take him, but don't put it on the fucking show.

>>20667259
Liv was absolutely useless. She didn't help Roxanne, she didn't help Raquel, and she didn't help Dom.

Send this bitch to the gutters thats not how a heel group should work.

End nepotism too i dont care who was your daddy or uncle
>>
>>20667578
>using meltzer cope as objective fact
Please stop doing this. It makes you look really stupid
>>
>>20667492
Same, I am not a hater but still surprised the crowds are still reacting like that and are just fine with Fatu becoming Roman's underling. I guess part of the thing about going to see RAW for the casual audience is to see Bloodline because it's a big deal in their minds, which makes you see why WWE are still running it in a similar way.
>>
>>20667592
no milly, coconut piggy?
>>
>>20667259
Send the Coconuts to SmackDown. They all can't wrestle; maybe Fatu is okay.

Make new factions. They all failed: new Judgment Day, new Vision, new Bloodline. If you have to keep them on Raw, make a couple of other groups too, like putting all the black guys in one group with the Street Profits and changing them to the Black Prophets. Make a new American team and a new luchador team.

86 Judgement Day and the Bloodline. The former is basically a women's book club and has been spinning their wheels for over a year now. The latter already overstayed it's welcome before being slapped on repeat. Do literally anything different.

well done wrestling is less popular than it was in the 90s yes. idk what that has to do with smackdown still not being under a milly unlike some companies
>>
>>20667792
You got disproven hard by several people and graphs in this thread and now just are moving goalposts. Maybe try and fuck off to some reddit echochamber where you can just downvote all the nasty opinions away.
>>
>>20667792
Graph shows SD being under a milly more than once. Can you read?
>>
1) Ending Bloodline. We are just back to how things were 2 years ago. Roman buries everyone and never loses face. Everyone has to look weak to get him over.

2) More people need to be on TV, whether it's matches or segments. You won't get over being off TV.

3) I do not think women's wrestling is the draw WWE thinks it is. I think people just put up with, jerk off to it or fantasize about non-existent relationships that they don't have with the female wrestlers. Most of the women are just also not on the same level as the men.

4) WWE also just needs more wrestlers. Both rosters are thin from all the years of cuts. The 3 NXT call up's per year aren't enough.

5) They need to focus more on finding US wrestlers than foreign wrestlers. There's always going to be visa problems with the foreign wrestlers and most will get sick of being overseas and want to go home. The foreign wrestlers also struggle to do promos well.
>>
>>20667816
What's your argument? WWE isn't as popular as it was 20 years ago? No shit. It's still the #1 wrestling company though and no matter how hard you shit your pants, that isnt changing.
>>
I would run an angle where every WWE and TKO executive is executed by hanging, except the twist would be that it's not an angle and I actually execute all of them by hanging. Then I close the company forever.

WWE has more people watching than ever, it's just split across tv, streaming, social media, etc. Since WM39 more people watch PLE's and WM than ever before. With clips of tv getting over 50m views more people see stuff form RAW and Smackdown etc. than ever before. A clip of Dom being arrested got more views than anything from the Attitude Era.

Without kayfabe and meaningful long stories, it comes down to looks. Yeah, the women are hot, but the men all look like average people except for a few.

100% kayfabe. I don't want to know Rhea's real-life story or Liv Morgan's next fuck buddy.

Better wrestling and better wrestlers. Half the roster are nepo babies doing 3 to 4 move sets.

More wrestlers.

Stop trying to appeal to women and people who barely watch wrestling. Like that rap shit last year, what the hell was that? A horrible waste of money and time.

Try new stories. Make Cody a heel. Do something new instead of the same stupid Bloodline and yeeting.

I was at RAW last month and sat next to a normie White family and they were all huge Roman fans. Even the 2 daughters and the mom. They went insane when he came out. For whatever reason, Roman is a megadraw.
