I think we're at the low point, it should only go up from here

So its official, I think we've hit another low point, a pre NWO time if you will, for the wrestling world. Effectively there are like 3 guys that I dont mind watching right now. CM Punk I think has actual talent. Unfortunately I think he should be fighting to the IC title rather than the world champion on a show(ECW) with about 10 guys on it. John Cena... cause well...dude has had the title for over a year now or something ridiculous which is unheard of in the modern day, post Hogan era. We've seen title reigns last shorter than 24 hours, so a one year plus title reign is crazy. And you just wanna be there when you see him lose it. I wouldn't put it up there with like the Kennedy assassination or the Challenger exploding, but its up there somewhere. And finally Triple H. Not because he is a great wrestler. But A) when he wants to be he's pretty funny and B) he stills tells the best story during a wrestling match. I still think he's the best bad guy, but at this point WWE needs him for anything.

Other than those 3 I can do without everything else. ECW has nobody worthy behind Punk. Smackdown is worthless until Taker comes back. And Raw is spinning its wheels around Cena and a little HHH right now. Nothing else is of merit. There are no secondary story lines. There are no good story lines for midcarders. I havent watched a non-dvr'd wrestling show in months, and I fast forward like crazy through what I watch. And buy a PPV? Yeah right. Couple all this with the fact that TNA is in the same boat and you basically have a the pre-NWO wrestling. Basically were back to wrestling not being cool. We need it to be cool.

So how do we fix it? I think everyone's got their own idea. In regards to WWE, I think basically they are being hurt by the WCW buyout. They bought their only competition, which when your are AT&T is great, but when you need to be pushed isn't so great. And unfortunately TNA isn't pushing them yet. Heres what I would do if I were running WWE or TNA:

WWE
#1 Kill brand extension. With the rash of deaths, firings, and suspensions the rosters are depleted. Also it sucks to have something big happen Monday, and nothing happen until next Monday. It used to be cool when the Rock or Jericho had something happen on Monday night, and then something else would happen Thursday(it would be on Friday now). Only do 2 shows a week - Raw and Smackdown. Kill off ECW. And make Smackdown live again. I know, I know Smackdown is taped to save money. But were fixing things here, so money is no object.
#2 Your set up for a 6 month story line by bringing the rosters together. You have instant feuds to consolidate all 3 world titles, the IC and US belts, and the tag belts. You instantly put more chicks up for the womens title. Bring back the hardcore title again. That just made for humurous tv(where is Crash Holly anyway).
#3 Do whatever it takes, but bring back Chris Jericho. As much as I hate to pin the hopes of WWE on one guy, dude is money. Plain and simple.
#4 Give us a reason to watch, which you havent done in probably 2 years. First off, make HHH the baddest ass on the planet again. He needs a stable. Orton and Batista wont work cause they are both top players again. So lets give him a chick, lets say Beth Phoenix(2007 Chyna anyone?), and a good tag team. It could be Deuce and Domino - with a changed gimmick of course. Or the Majors. Hell thats how sad it is, I cant think of anybody good to match up with him. Okay scratch the tag teams, change Kevin Thorne's gimmick a little, and make him HHH new henchman. Kind of like HHH was for Michaels for so long. Any rate, dont call them Evolution, or DX, or whatever. Call them something new. We need this to be new, not retread. We'll call them Game Over for now, just cause I'm not creative enough to come up with something better.
Secondly have Cena drop the belt crappily to Orton. Then let Cena cost Orton the belt to HHH. Then let Cena and Orton fight off in the side for awhile. Cena needs a rework for awhile without the belt. Give the dude a day off or something. Have Thorne win the IC title, and Phoenix take the women's belt. They go on merrily beating the tar junk out of everyone until Y2J shows up. Y2J earns a title shot, and almost wins at his first PPV, but Phoenix helps out HHH. Then Thorne fixes the next bout. All of a sudden we have a full blow chase for the gold. No one can defeat the 3. Then Monday night after the 3rd or 4th PPV this has happened, out comes Edge. Edge wants a fight, and he's got long hair like Jericho so they team up. So the next PPV is Thorne/HHH vs Edge/Jericho. Only Edge turns, joins Game Over and they stomp the holy hell out of Jericho(he came back for this?) 4 PPV's, four ass beatings for Jericho.
Now HHH is done with Jericho, he moves on to fight Batista as Jericho fights Edge. Of course Edge and HHH both when singles matches at the November PPV based on outside interference. I mean its gotta be like 6 months of this stuff. Horseman style. Fans still kind of like HHH and Edge, gotta make them hate those guys. Get tired of seeing them win. Finally its Royal Rumble time, and yep you guessed it Jericho wins. So we have Jericho/HHH at Wrestlemania. Its about the only way people are gonna watch wrestlemania. So we gotta fill February's PPV, so we get HHH/Edge/Thorne vs. Jericho/Batista, and another mystery partner. Come PPV night, out walks John " I've taken some time off,so all the girls are happy to see me and cheer" Cena. Phoenix tries to interfere, but Mickie James(schedule to fight Glamazon at Mania in the closest thing to Lita/Trish we can get nowadays) takes care of her. The faces almost win until , yep you guessed it. Orton shows up. Game over wins. We get 6 more weeks of HHH beating Jericho with a sledgehammer until Mania where we get Batista / Thorne for the IC title. HHH/Jericho for the world title, Mickie/Phoenix for the womens title, and Cena / Orton in Hell in a Cell.
Finally put the freaking Hardy's back together and have them do a similar push against Cade/Murdoch culminating in a win at Mania. Jericho/Hardy's both win. Thorne keeps the IC title and Glamazon keeps the womens belt. That right there is 4 big ass matches. Then summerslam we can go wargames with HHH/Edge/Thorne/Orton/John Morrison vs. Jericho/Batista/Cena/Punk/and the returning Deadman the Undertaker. Take Rey freaking Mysterio out of the world title hunt, dude is like 135 lbs. Its just not plausible. Give him the cruiserweight belt for god sakes. He's the reason we basically created the cruiserweight belt.

I agree there are holes in this story line. But I strongly believe its 20 times better than the stuff I've been fast forwarding for the last 2 years. We need something. You need a dominant evil, and a chase for the good. We havent had that in years.

I'll check back later when I figure out how to fix TNA. Its getting there, but way to slow for my account. And if you havent watched TNA, you should check out Nash. He quite possibly is the most entertaining person on either wrestling show right now, and he hasnt stepped foot in a ring in 6 months.
