Not reading through 11 pages so most/all has inevitably been covered, but as a casual fan who drops in and out of following the product, here's a list.
1) Don't treat me ALL the time like I'm a fucking moron. Recognise that wrestling fans grew up with wrestling, and that you CAN have a product that appeals to
both parents
and their kids. The kids may be the ones who properly buy in, but they don't go to the arena by themselves and their parents are the ones who decide whether or not to spend the money and make the trip to the arena with them.
2) I don't want to see guys from the Attitude Era on the top of cards. Even if they were my favourite wrestler back then. It's the third decade of the 21st Century, ffs.
3) Three hour RAW has gone halfway to killing the company by itself. It's too much. Too much for the writers, and too much for the audience. It's SO fucking tedious to spend your entire night watching one wrestling show that isn't even important and doesn't have anything important happening. Just to sell a few more dollars in ads, ffs.
4) Change the fucking production! One suplex does NOT need
five quick camera changes! Let me see what the fuck is happening, so I can enjoy the athleticism and actually see the fucking moves!
Christ, the camerawork pisses me off.
5) The primary duty of the commentators is to comment and enhance the match currently taking place. Not to sell me next month's PPV, shill for the Network, promote some stupid action movie starring Seamus, or tell me what to think about everything happening in the ring.
6) If you do absolutely nothing for a performer and he somehow wins the crowd's affection and gets himself over anyway......... then
fucking push him up the card.
7) Enough Randy Orton in the title picture, ffs. He looks bored all the time, most of his big matches suck, he keeps repeating the same stale feuds over and over, and he generally seems like he's been phoning in his career for a decade.
8) Give the wrestlers more control over their characters and vignettes! When it's time to cut a promo and you KNOW a guy is a great talker, then give him the mic and let him talk! Don't have him memorise some brain dead, unfunny script and then hollowly recite it word for word
no matter what the crowd does or doesn't respond to!
9) No more Snoop Dogg. I don't care if I never see that fucking guy again. All he's done for the last two decades is show up as a "host" or commentator at events, be obviously and embarrassingly unprepared and uninformed, make the event worse, and then cash a fat check that should have gone to the performers who actually added something to the show. (Okay this one is not the most important gripe
)
10) Push the best workers and the best talkers. And give the heels the ability to actually be dirty, vile cunts.
