Same as last night. Segment was corny. 35 minutes into the show and one throwaway match.
I saw that and I was like did they just watch the Dark Knight Rises or something. That's a horrible gimmick. They are doing Dean a disservice with that bullshit gimmick.
There are too many fucking wrestlers on the WWE roster.
WWE really should do complete overhaul.
With so many names signed under their umbrella, there is no reason why they don't have more than 4 separate brands/shows.

- Raw
- Smackdown
- NXT
- WCW (revival)
- Women's
If I were to step into Vince's shoes.
I'd have Raw and Smackdown be two hours, both shows would have world, midcard and set of tag titles.
Since Fox wants a more sports oriented show for Smackdown, I put my technicians on that show and let that be a WCW revival of sorts (since pre-Hogan WCW was more mat-based). Raw would lean more to "sports entertainment"
Since NXT is a developmental brand, I have differing rules for developmental such as a longer count out and time limits. ( I would explain this in Kayfabe as being differing rules for younger wrestlers)
I'd put 205 Live in Full Sail.
I'm not sure how I'd do with the women, WWE's women's division is loaded with women who have great talent and the looks to sell it but I'm not sure if I'd let them tour as an act by themselves.
dont think its neccessary
the women train in a normal ring, currently wrestle in a normal ring and evolution was in a normal ring
the last hurdle for women in the WWE and the ring was the Royal Rumble...it was the 1st time woman had to go over the top & with some of the smaller chicks like sasha, bliss, etc they was concerned they wouldnt be able to pull it off. But they crossed that hurdle without issue
Leave RAW 3 hours, move all the tag teams there and unify the tag titles.
Put all the women on Smackdown, keep one title the main title, make one of the titles a US/ intercontinental level title, add the womens tag titles.
He's terrible. It just doesn't click with him...
His intro was so over, they really just kinda went with the reaction. They've got to get back to defining faces/heels. I'm loving heel DB, he's taking it back to professional wrestling. His last two ppv matches have been tremendous.
I've been saying they need to bring back WCW for a while now. Just too much talent, not enough time. Great idea to split into 5 brands. With the network and now the new TV deals...they have more than enough to do it. Hell, use the NXT model & have it based in one place where you tape your shows from & do intermittent tours.
There's really no reason to bring back WCW. We saw what they did with ECW. They have NXT & NXT UK so just extend NXT into another hour and pu'll it from the network and put it on tv. Push NXT as more than just a breeding ground for the main roster talent.
WCW still has name recognition and fans in the South. A lot of these fans went to Impact or ROH.
If they brought back the WCW brand name and style, they could have a following. As @unknownsoldier said, tape it in one place like NXT (Atlanta) and that shit would become it's own little monster brand.
Man I'm from the South. I went to multiple WCW shows growing up and even meant Dusty Rhodes in a gas station after a show.
I just don't see any reason to bring back WCW. Even more so Vince ego probably would never bring it back from the dead. ECW is different he actually help fund it to keep it running. I'm a huge fan of NXT and I think its the best "wrestling" product in the states. Triple H see's NXT as a way of rebuilding the territory system on a global scale.
Major news from Tuesday’s SmackDown LIVE tapings (CAUTION: SPOILERS)
Rusev defeated Shinsuke Nakamura to win the United States Championship at Tuesday night’s SmackDown LIVE in Fresno, Calif.
With his victory, The Bulgarian Brute is now a three-time United States Champion.
See how Rusev captured the title when the championship match airs on the Christmas night edition of SmackDown LIVE, next Tuesday at 8/7 C on USA.
Now they need to put English back with him then I'll believe they're listening.

Hopefully he gets a reset. Take him off tv and give make him a strong heel. Kinda doing what they're doing with Randy right now. Just taking people out and being ruthless.
WCW as a name and brand is DEAD. Folks gotta get over their nostalgia. It can never be what it was back in the day. There's no sense in trying to revive it. If it didn't work in the early 2000s when you still had some of the big names from WCW (although not the biggest names who are all retired now), there's no way it's gonna work now. Just enjoy the old matches on the network.
NWA(National Wrestling Alliance) will still work especially for fans in the south and mid-atlantic regions of the country. They just need a good tv deal, bookers(who understands how to use talent), and good writers to resurge as a big time promotion. NWA is a legacy brand and is the oldest promotion in the US. In fact the NWA gave birth to the WWWF back in the day when they split. It's a good thing Vince don't own the NWA name so once things are in place they can challenge WWE.
I would even be for bringing back the AWA(American Wrestling Association). I'm still mad that punk ass Cena cannibalized their logo
. That was mad disrespectful.

NWA = a brand that's even more dead than WCW. The NWA lost all of its importance back in the early 90s when WCW split from them. The AWA hasn't been relevant since the 80s.

So it will be the McMahon monopoly for now on
. If true the business will fade eventually.I disagree with the NWA brand being irrelevant when it is a recognized title that was held by Cody Rhodes who the WWE would love to have back.
^^^^^The problem is not relevance, the problem is TV and cable deals are needed.
Exactly WAS held by Cody. Now its back on Aldis and the company is back to being irrelevant. I was hyping up NWA & Billy Corgan pages ago but Cody not choosing to hold on to the title and push the resurgence in the NWA just stalled all momentum they picked up. WWE is picking up all the top Indy talent. NWA best bet is to try to work a collaboration with ROH, Impact, or Lucha Underground. Put their title on someone like Brian Cage, Moose, Johnny Morrison, hell even Austin Aries. They just need someone who can move the needle and get the title and name on tv even if its on another promotion.
I've been on and off for the last month, but what in the entire fuck is happening right now? The show sucks so bad now that Vince came out and basically threw Corbin under the bus and promised that the show would be better now. Do they think that we think that Corbin was really in charge? And what about Paige? I thought she was doing a good job on Smackdown. They let her down WAY softer than Corbin but she was still removed from the position. So does that mean that they're putting the blame her for the bad ratings.
Oh, and Dean is going to kill it at next year's comic con, cosplaying as Nolan's Bane. And Byran has somehow turned being mad at people about global warming into the most entertaining thing on either show. He should be inducted in the HOF right now just based on being able to get that gimmick over.

Still a TV and Cable deal will help but I agree with the need for a recognizable standard bearer to hold the title and put it back on the map. I think the NWA will have a resurgence because the market will demand it. I also agree with a partnership with the other non WWE promotions as well.
So it will be the McMahon monopoly for now on

In terms of any real competition, yes, it is the McMahon monopoly now. There will be room for the small indy promotions like NWA, ROH, Lucha, etc. But they will never be able to compete with WWE. That's just reality.
If I'm Cody Rhodes I continue to make a name for my self on the Indy circuit. The WWE would just ruin him and his character if he were to ever go back.
