ITT: We discus what we think would make Raw great again.
>Shorten Raw to 2 hours.
-Raw has way too much filler and the things that aren’t filler get dragged out to fill the 3 hours of programing. I would rather have quality programming over quantity of programming.
>Move the cruiserweight division to NXT.
-NXT and the cruiserweights both pander to smarks, so make NXT 2 hours long and give them the cruiserweight division. NXT would then have a fourth title to balance it with the main rosters and it would give fans more of a reason to subscribe to the WWE Network. The biggest issue with the cruiserweights is that they are a bunch of nobodies to the casual viewer, therefore no one is invested in them. They should be put on NXT with the new talent so they can stand out and develop their characters. If any of them do make a name for themselves they can be called up to the main roster and utilized without interfering with the division. The Cruiserweight title will also stand out on NXT and feel valuable because it won’t be overshadowed by the Universal title or the United States title.
how about we just can it
>Recolor the Universal Championship Belt.
This belt looks like complete shit and still makes me cringe. If the WWE is going to have generic title belts they should at the very least give this one a black strap and give the World title a blue faceplate so that they are uniform. I also wouldn’t mind seeing the Raw Tag Team titles getting a red strap so they would have a red/gold color scheme to contrast the blue/silver color scheme of the SmackDown Tag Team titles.
>Make Stone Cold Steve Austin the Raw General Manager.
-Austin was the face of the WWE during it’s biggest boom period and is still one of the most over people in the company. We also have to face the fact that Raw will always feature Stephanie McMahon and some sort of authority angle. I think that Austin would be a better General Manager then Foley because he wouldn’t be such a cringe worthy push over and could work another Austin/McMahon feud with Stephanie over control of Raw and go against the bullshit that the Authority tries to get away with. I would also mark out if he started talking shit to some of the wrestlers like Chris Jericho or Seth Rollins like he did Dean Ambrose and when they would try to push him over like they would Foley, he would drop them with a stunner.
>Quit overprotecting literally everyone on the roster.
-This leads to constant shit finishes were everybody looks weak, stop fucking doing it.
>Copy what SmackDown Live did with their Women’s/Tag Team divisions.
-Instead of having Charlotte vs. Sasha Banks or lol the New Day retains for the 100th fucking time, do what SmackDown did and have a king of a ring style tournament for a title match at the next p.p.v. and build up feuds off of the outcomes from the tournament. Save all the bullshit drama for the United States title and the Universal title matches.

>stop watching wrestling for 8 years
>come back
>some fat ass manlet has the highest championship
we need to talk..
>Limit the number of squash matches per show.
-I have nothing against squash matches but there should never be more then 1 per show. If my memory serves correct last week we had 4 in one show (Baily, Bo, Braun Strowman and Nia Jax). They need to chill with that shit.

>Implying the Universal Championship is higher then the World Championship.
They don't keep the most prestigious championship on the B-show.

austin knows the current product is awful, he does not want stone cold to be associated with it in any way
>>1833333
quads for quad squash matches, they must continue
>>1833318
Everybody is a "nobody" to "the casual viewer" in the beginning.
>>1833326
The guy in your image is literally the only protected guy on the roster.
