I don't think there's been much of a directorial change backstage, as much as it's just been rejuvenation of the product, as a whole.
Every couple of years the WWE gives their product a face lift, I'd like to think. In my opinion, those years were 1998, 2002, 2005, 2008 and 2011. A shift of storylines, newer stars, reimagined card placements and a different feel for the product as a whole. I'm not sure what's so different but the shows have been much better, as of late. More emphasis is put on the building of feuds than filler segments.
But that brings up a different argument. Just because they're putting emphasis on the things that matter, doesn't automatically make it better. I mean we've gotten the same Cesaro vs. Owens match a dozen times. The screwjob angle has been done to death all over the industry, The McMahon storyline takes an ungodly amount of time and a fraction of the matches on RAW are actually clean finishes.
It's a double sided coin, that's open to anyones imagination. Some people might find slight changes, some people find major changes, some might not find any at all. I think it's WWE's incentive to re-imagine their product that will take shape over the next 5 or so years.
I don't know. Maybe, I'm over-analyzing and just digging out random shit. But either way, that's my take.
