[IronDragon1]

Multiple, competitive federations.

Bring back hardcore.

[Non_Comformist]

stop all the run ins after basically every match.

[imported_CaseClosed326]

Bring back the Ultimate Warrior.

[vulturesrow]

Eliminate marriage story lines. I also heartily agree with eliminating the seemingly endless succession of run ins.

Hopefully another federation in the mold of the ECW will rise to the top. I have a feeling that a federation like this would attract a lot of us who used to be big wrestling fans but are unimpressed at best with the current wrestlecrap being perpetrated on us. But I have no idea how to make this happed. /images/graemlins/frown.gif Wanna start up an OOT Wrestling Federation with me? /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[KDawgCometh]

I am a big fan of 90s AJPW. I've always been a big fan. WHen I was a kid in chicago I was a bigger fan of crockett wrestling than Vince style wrestling. To me Flair was the be all end all. I never like Hogan. Flair just seemed cool and, to me, was larger than life. I stopped watching a little after Vader got depushed in WCW(late 93) but started watching again after Bash at the Beach 96, and really got back in 97. WWF was good wrestling in 97 and so was WCW, unfortunetly 98 arrived and the entertainment aspect really took over. I have always preferred in ring guys and always will. I think that's why I took to Japan Puro the way I did

yes the WWF needs to pretend that wrestling is real. In real sports when athletes break the rules they are punished, usually with a suspension. this is what should "happen" thus when someone runs ins or whatever it would mean much more.

I'd agree that the sex stuff is past its prime. I like having some hot chicks on the show, but give them something to do or just ditch them.

I am optimistic because Michaels as a heel has so much potential. His DX character might be my favorite ever.

And Lesnar coming back has me excited. He's a shmuck, but he makes me want to watch.

Edit: That Hassan angle tonight was completely tasteless.

[Non_Comformist]

Also move to a "stiff" style in line which what Japan was putting out about 10 years ago.

Also every wrestler cannot be "top teir" there needs to be jobbers who loose cleanly, every league has [censored] teams this is how you know who is good. and this allows some matches to be more important than others.

[Non_Comformist]

Also move to 3 weight classes in line with what goes on in boxing. light weight (rey mysterio etc) middle weight (christian, y2j etc) and heavy weight. Populate each class equally. Wrestlers should compete only in their weight class 99& of the time but they can also move up over time as do many boxers.

doing this would probably mean dropping the secondary titles.

[KDawgCometh]

Japan has always been stiff, but I know what you are saying. I actually think if you gave RIki Chushu some time to get familiar with the american landscape that he'd be able to book the sh<font color="red"></font>it out of a promotion. He is responsible for 5 of the top ten drawing shows of all time

[Soul Daddy]

Just give the book to Heyman, let him keep it, and keep him as far away from HHH-Steph as possible. That would do wonders.

He picked it up again in 2001 with his WM17 match against Rock and his matches against Benoit and Angle, but he was one of the best in-ring workers around before that pile driver gone wrong. Just watch how good of a match that he got out of UT at IYH:Cold Day In Hell(the vader/shamrock match was awesome on that PPV too) or his KOtR match against Micheals just a month later, not to mention all of the great work he did in ECW and WCW

[MikeL05]

I have two major points.

1) Regarding the Ultimate Warrior... he was one of the most wrestling-incompetent wrestlers ever. His mic sessions were mind-numbing. And, in real life, he is a true lunatic. Fine.

That said, he was an absolute freak who could do things that no one else did - IE in his prime, gorilla pressing guys and actually throwing them, instead of letting them drop over his head. Also... this guy absolutely BROUGHT IT every time he came into the ring. I understand it was sort of his character's nature to do so... but there are few wrestlers that I've ever seen who absolutely refused to take a night off and half-ass it.

2) HOW TO FIX IT: I noticed a few years ago two trends in wrestling, both of which suck. #1, they have stopped giving people gimmick names and gimmicks as a whole. Now everyone is "John Smith" or whatever. I can't tell the damn guys apart, and I have no interest in watching them because they're all the same to me. #2, sort of in the same line as the previous, they are tending to take some of the more humorous characters and make them a lot more "serious". Remember when Edge and Christian used to be funny? Good god they were hilarious. Then they split up, and became angry super-serious guys. And wouldn't you know it, they're not good enough in the ring to stand out anymore.

Actually now that I write this, I do agree with the idea too that clean matches should be strived for more. Back in the day, it was absolutely no big deal if someone lost the Saturday afternoon main event. I didn't think less of Earthquake if he lost to Ultimate Warrior on a weekly show... I still knew anything could happen that next PPV or that next week for that matter.

But the personality/gimmick thing is, to me, the big issue. Someone like the Million Dollar Man would be great now... great gimmick, pretty funny in an evil sort of way... and yet he pisses you off a bit too and you kind of f'ing hate him. Or how about Jake the Snake and the Undertaker (ca 1992)... those guys defined ring psychology, and had distinct personalities. Now every damn wrestler is just some random angry muscle guy, as far as I'm concerned. They're no different than the ass clowns I see at the gym every day.

It seriously does. There's all these unknowns running around like they own the ring now or something. Whatever happened to D-Low Brown and De-generation X!?

[JasonM]

Bring back DX

[Jules22]

i havent watched wrestling since i was 12 or 13, but from what i remember it seemed like it was at its best when the nwo storyline was really going in wcw, and at the same time the stone cold vs vince saga was in full swing and degeneration x was getting going. seems like its all been downhill since then

[ryanghall]

Simple... do more with the ECW 'brand'... while you still can. They're not getting any younger.

Everyone I talked to thoroughly enjoyed that PPV and then the next night it was forgotten.

Have a show that comes on, say, once every 2 weeks for an hour or two even on like a Saturday night at 11pm or midnight and have it ECW.

You can't tell me that wouldn't be interesting.

Wagering! or

Retro league. Sorta like the new Gilligan's Island.
Get new wrestlers to fill the rolls of The Samoan, Andre the Giant, dBob Backland, Chief Jay Strong Bow, Greg Valentine, Iron Shiek, Animal. (and their managers)

[CollinEstes]

How about a time machine. So I am go back to when I where were kids. That would make it cool again.

That and the return of the Ultimate Warrior of course.

[Golden_Rhino]

1. More guys in capes (ie. superstar billy graham or jesse ventura)

2. bring back Canadas greatest athlete "Iron" Mike Sharp

3. Get real managers (ie Classy Freddy Blassie or Jimmy Hart), not blonde bimbos. The bimbos can be there, just not managing.

4. Get more real tag teams (ie. hart foundation and killer bees), not two guys who happen to hate two other guys.

5. Someone has to start using the DDT as a finishing move.

[chaas4747]

The tag team thing is a problem. Remember when there were guys that were tag team wrestlers and that was it. The four horsemen (change a few times), but they were Ric Flair (solo), Tully Blanchard (solo) or Lex Luther (solo), and the Anderson's (tag team only). That was when it was cool. Let's go back to that.

[coffeecrazy1]

1)Eliminate any girl-on-girl, woman-based sideshows. The Diva Search is a giant, soul-sucking hole of suckitude. I don't mind the women wrestling, however, as long as it is on par with the Trish Stratus/Molly Holly/Lita group.

2)Push wrestlers who are legitimately over with the fans, instead of the ones that Vince likes.

3)I love Triple H. He's probably my favorite wrestler. However, remove him from creative control of RAW...it is unacceptable for him to have 20 successful title defenses.

4)Shake up the storylines a bit and give people something to get behind. Build major heels and major faces back into the business. Honestly, wrestling has been pretty good for the last few months due to the Triple H/Bautista feud(which I think should have been less one-sided in favor of Bautista for storyline purposes). Bautista is probably the first legitimate monster face in the business for a while(no...Cena's not there yet).

5)I appreciate the intentions behind the draft lottery...truly, I do...but I think it has caused more problems than it has solved. I would much prefer to see promotion from within.

6)For God's sake, stop the trashy, knee-jerk storylines. The Muhammad Hassan gimmick is lame and in poor taste. The Edge/Lita cheating on Kane angle is pointless and Springer-like.

7)As strange of a statement as this is, wrestling should not always cater to the lowest possible denominator to have long-term success. Wrestling is male soap-opera, nothing more. What I miss is the drama of the moments, where the tension truly was palpable. True, Stone Cold and The Rock are one of a kind, but honestly, I remember when Shawn Michaels calling himself "The Showstopper" was not just a gimmick...he really could electrify an arena. Bring back the large-scale epic nature...it's too much like guys fake-hitting each other now.

[mblax10]

Not enough guys who know how to wrestle. Too many athletic weightlifters.

Ric Flair, Barry Windham, Arn Anderson, Brian Pillman, Rick Rude, Ricky Morton, Ted Dibiasie, Terry Taylor, Bobby Eaton.

These guys weren't big, but they knew how to work a match. None of them would have any chance of making it in wrestling today.

[4thstreetpete]

I think wrestling will get very interesting soon enough. TNA has just signed a deal with Spike TV which can only be good news for wrestling fans. I strongly urge everyone who hasn't seen TNA to give it a chance. The product is spectacular. How could you not like a fed with workers like AJ Styles, Somoa Joe, Petey Williams, etc?

There's also rumblings of Ted Turner starting up another wrestling promotion. I know there's talks almost every month about this but this time it seems to be a little more legit.

The ONLY way wrestling can be fixed right now is if WWE fire their current crop of writers and remove HHH and Stephanie's influence on TV. Add some competition and things will be back to the way it was.

TNA getting a TV deal is a step in the right direction. Things can only go up from here.

TNA just signed this past week, it is a done deal. It will start up when teh WWE's deal with Spike is done and TNA will take Velocity's time slot. It also looks like they are giving Samoa Joe the start of a real big push, and that can be nothing but good for TNA as he is one of the most talented wrestlers I have seen in a long time(and I'm not exactly the biggest Indy mark either).

I think that TNA needs to bring back a lighter form of the territory system. Use ROH in the Northeast, MCW(out of chicago) in the midwest, WIldside for the southeast, and Pro Wrestling Guerilla for Cali. Contract hte main TNA roster out to these feds and work it so that TNA's wrestlers are working every weekend. If they can get more time slots on Spike then they could use one time slot for a roundup of the territories each week and show matches from them, this way they can also have a constant influx of new talent too. TNA also needs to focus on getting pentration going in Britian as wreslting is hot there again and I know that FWA has been getting better and better attendance over the past few years, not to mention that Wrestling is extremely hot in Italy, which can be another good place to make money. If a wrestling compay is creative enough they can make lots of $$$
