Seriously, the time and effort they seemingly put into the tag division to bring it back to the life they need to do the exact same thing to the midcard because right about now it's in absolute dire straights.

Seeing absolute trash like Fandango and Khali on PPV is just mindblowing. R-Truth and even though I like the guy, Curtis Axel was another stinker on one of the recent cards. Swagger and Cesaro I like, but seeing them face gimmicky garbage like Los Matadores is another recent one.

Looking back now, it actually amuses me how much hate Kofi used to get for being a midcarder for life and getting endless titles runs because say what you want about the guy, but when he holds the titles you generally get consistently fun, good matches from him on TV and hot little openers on PPV.

What they can do to the 'fix' the division i'm not entirely sure, but given us matches with guys who will deliver good matches and will be a ton of fun. Give me a best of 5 series between Kofi/Dolph and give them 10-15 minutes to finish the series on PPV. Give me the aggressive Drew McIntyre back, maybe someone like Big E throwing Seth Rollins around with Tazz style suplexes and shit.

Quite simple move Punk, Bryan, Dolph, and ADR to the mid card like Jericho, Benoit, RVD, Booker, and the like were years ago. Give them all stories and rivalries that span a month or three but not actually working 5-10 non ppv matches against one another.

Get rid of the US and World title and you have two belts that 25 guys can try go for instead of splitting up the roster into 5 guys for one title......DONE!

I'd also suggest using Main event if you're going to keep the title divisions how they are. Treat the IC and Us title like the Raw and SD main events on there and have them defended damn near every week. Any week they aren't defended, have a tourney being held or number one contender things

Just need to get rid of the excess titles, WCW is dead, so should their belts. You can build up guys going for title runs simply by giving them interview time and winning matches, y'know like UFC does. Like an actual sport.

Tired of storylines, how about people wrestle because it's their job and they want to win a title to show everyone that they're the best.

Angles should only be for the mainevents. Like it used to be, IC title was the workers title, not eeryone who held it was mainevent material, but you would never know that back then.
