What would be one rule you would enforce? I would never let any match other than the main even have spots where one guys kicks out of the others finisher. Save that shit for the main event.
 
No horribly bad soap opera angles, and anyone who suggests one gets future endeavored.

Look at the things that made the CWC so great. No drama. Just wrestling. The closest thing they had to an angle was Ciampa vs Gargano cause they were tag partners.
 
More angles, more characters
No boring ass "athletic competitions" like the CWC

There's only one way to sort this out

I would make my tag titles the second most important title on the show and try to enforce a rule where teams stayed together a minimum length of time to try and strengthen the division.
 
Every person has a feud and a reason to show up every week
 
Every face must be allowed to pay back the heel. Doesn't matter if they're the boss' favorite or relative, the faces must have their retribution.
 
I would job the fuck out of Triple H.

But yeah, false finished only occur in matches of true significance, maintain a legit tag division, etc.
 
Go back to 3 minute matches on tv, tons of run ins and women know their place and take their tops off bro

referees need to enforce the rules. count outs are rare and that is bs. also i dont see them forcing the break when a wrestler is tied up in the ropes. and dont even get me started on closed fists! although dean did enforce that tonight so good on him
 
I don't have one, because there's so much shit that needs to be fixed.

Heels:
- You are not supposed to be cool, stop trying to be cool.
- Cheat, I don't care how you do it, just cheat
- You're not supposed to be doing cool moves to get people chanting "This is awesome", you are not supposed to be appreciated for your workrate, you're supposed to be disliked, stop doing stuff to be liked.
- If you're going to be funny, have them laughing at YOUR OWN EXPENSE! If they're laughing at the babyface, then they're not going to like him and they're going to like you, which isn't the point of what your job is.

Faces:
- You're not supposed to cheat, you're supposed to be the GOOD GUY.
- Stop starting the matches with punches, it's a WRESTLING match, not a FIGHT. You only start punching when you're firing up for a comeback, because the other guy is cheating (if he's doing what I tell him to do, which he should be if I'm the booker), the punches are supposed to signify that you're sick of this motherfucker and his cheating and you're now gonna kick his ass.

Promos:
- Don't bury your opponent, because if you lose to them, you're gonna look fucking stupid, and if you beat them, who gives a shit, you made him look like shit, so you didn't gain anything from it.

Miscellaneous:
- There's this thing in wrestling called SELLING, it helps with the suspension of belief that what the guy is doing to you fucking hurts, if he does something to you, you better fucking sell it. There's a reason why Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels and Macho Man vs. Steamboat are considered all time classics, and people have already forgotten about Ospreay vs. Ricochet. Selling moves and psychology creates DRAMA and EMOTIONAL INVESTMENT. More people remember the dramatic and emotional matches more than a bunch of flippy spots where shit doesn't get sold.
- Outside of storyline reason or if I'm pushing a monster; If you have a weapon, you only need to hit the guy ONCE. Because if you hit him a bunch of times, you look like a huge pussy because you couldn't end a fight with a weapon, when he didn't have one, and it gets the weapon over as something significant. If you hit the guy with a chair, and he goes down like you've just shot him and he doesn't get up, the next time you reach for the chair, people think "Oh shit, he's got a chair, get out the fucking ring!" However, if you hit him a bunch of times, and he keeps getting up, the next person who grabs a chair, nobody is going to give a fuck, they've seen it.
