Its not that deep breh....
Its like it was in the 90's...If another boom period comes, it will be a different company that sparks it.
More fukkery.
Jinder stealing Orton's belt and driving off in a limo with it or Braun destroying Roman for fifteen minutes straight in hilariously exaggerated fashion is far more entertaining than watching a Sheamus vs Matt Hardy match after having watched a Cesaro vs Jeff Hardy match the week before knowing that you'll watch a Sheamus & Cesaro vs Matt & Jeff Hardy match in another week. Austin didn't become a pop culture icon by wrestling a pointless match every week, and neither did The Rock.
It's literally the same shyt for every feud
Get it out of their heads that they are a similar to a TV drama that has to micromanage and script everything. It works when the writers / actors are top calibre, but it'll never work with wrestling. Reminds me of McDonalds trying little things to appear high end and healthy. Get the fukk outta here, know your role.
They need 1-2 writers who are creative and out there, with Vince overseeing and filtering the bad ideas. Let HHH still do his thing with indie stars and NXT, just temper it and don't make it the indie show.
Encourage talent to ad lib and sink or swim. Bring back the element of improv.

Hardy's been back almost 2 months and have probably fought Sheamus and Cesaro over 30 times if we're including house shows.
Nothing.However, I feel that with the semi-success of Lucha Underground, there is an actual chance for wrestling to get back on it's glory days of the 90s. It's rather simple really, just treat the product like what it stands for. Pure and uncut fukkery
. Let's face it, we are tired of these bland ass MMA looking vanilla wrestlers and flippy dippy dudes. There's got to be somewhat of a balance to attract the masses. Promotions need to embrace their inner carny and go all out. I'm talking about storylines and feuds, stipulation matches, wargames, the works. Yet, none of this shyt will work because wrestling fans moved on. There's no going mainstream when folks would rather sign up to UFC Fight Pass, catch a few highlight clips on YouTube, and on to the next one. We were close with the Daniel Bry/Punk hype, but no cigar
. Maybe this wrestling shyt will finally die unless Gedo and Jado-san gives us a miracle with them making moves over in the States

Putting the belt on braun strowman, LONGTERM, making him babyface, and getting him on non wwe tv more.
They can't. Because that's exactly what they are doing now. I cannot recall a time where wrestling got covered by the likes of ESPN, TMZ and so on and so forth. Everything they are doing right now is designed for the product to be more mainstream and palatable for a general, broader audience.
Lucha Underground is probably the organization best equipped and present to be a premier mainstream product as it nails what @dbp says WWE is trying to do, but they intentionally appeal to a cult audience and it works.
The only thing that could happen to the product is that it becomes better/more quality. That will never happen until another federation comes along to provide viable competition to the WWE. And not in the sense of "just another source of wrestling" but I mean an organization that is here to usurp Vince McMahon's grip on sports entertainment. Or Vince dies, one or the other.

I think superstars should get invited more often on talk shows and mainstream radio interviews in kayfabe. I think they need to use occasionally popular musicians songs in a paper-view event, for instance, Kendrick or etc. They need to stop collabing with flo-ridah and pit bull. Enzo should have segments outside the wwe arena in a similar fashion like Ted-DiBiase.
