Facts:
WWE RAW has had a steady decline in ratings for 15 straight years since he left
WCW was dead before he got there yet he gets all the blame for it, Ric Flair recently came out and said the same thing that it's laughable he gets pinned for it all
WWE has only created 2-3 legit stars in the 15 years since he left, Cena, Brock, ?
TNA ratings even dropped when he got the booking taken away from him

People always say Russo is trash without the filter of Vince, well, Vince has been the filter of WWE for the last 15 years and has seen half his audience leave. Can't blame the TV market because NFL MNF ratings have gone up under same conditions.

Wrasslin will be doing numbers in the 1's this time next year

Might as well bring him in. At least WCW 2000/2001 creative had something for the whole roster. :yeshrug: The talent in WWE is pretty stacked but the storylines/fueds are boring as fukk. Last time I was invested was KO/Cena before McMahon went into panic mode over some damn t-shirts.

From Russo's blog

"WWE's biggest problem right now is that their creative team is stuck in a pre-internet world. In a time where the fans can know what the boys are eating at catering the WWE insist on trying to maintain kayfabe. That's insulting to the boys in the locker room, the people writing the show, and most importantly the fans. I mean the WWE even has their own behind the scenes show with Total Divas (which is more cutting edge then anything else the WWE is producing right now) but they book their wrestling shows like it's 1985.

You can only insult the intelligence of the fans so many times before they start tuning out, and that's exactly what's happening now. Now I don't follow the business closely at all anymore, but I watched this past week's Raw to get an understanding of where the company is heading and boy it was total GARBAGE.

My days of booking wrestling are long gone, but one person on the current roster I would love to write for is Bray Wyatt. The guy has all the tools to be great; he can talk, he can work, and he has a unique look. But the WWE has dropped the ball on portraying like a true monster should be. So here are some quick thoughts on what I would do with Bray.

-First of all I love the angle with him and Roman, both of those guys need a solid angle to work with.
-When it comes to the Wyatt Family I feel certain homosexual undertones to their promos and their overall character portrayal. The WWE should definitely embrace that. The gay community would really get behind having three dominant and masculine bad asses on TV every week.
-Like I said earlier I like Bray's feud with Roman Reigns and I think both guys will benefit from it, but there should be a more personal reason for them feuding. Personally I would fully embrace the homosexual elements of the Wyatt Family, and have Bray be jealous of Roman's good looks and the support that he gets from gay male fans. That would give Bray a solid reason for attacking Roman and would really go over well if you had Bray trying to disfigure Roman every week."

The easiest ways to boost the ratings:

Stop with the random pointless tag matches

Scrap the "Divas Revolution" and figure out which ones to focus on

Stop repeating the same damn matches. If necessary, bring back squash matches. And I'm talking about the old school ones where the opponent is some skinny local guy no one has heard of.

Stop giving Rollins so much mic time. He's not good enough to do the cliched 10-15 minute opening promos.

Drop the Authority angle. :deadhorse:

Keep Kane and Big Show out of the main event. Put them on Superstars/Main Event. Give us more Mark Henry because he's the only Attitude Era guy that the crowd actually cares about.
