What is one thing you would change for this year in WWE?

[Solid Snake]

It can be anything that happened in 2016.
You can change a win, a title run, a loss, a feud, an injury, a debut, anything really.
You can one pick ONE though. So assuming this, it would likely impact a lot that happened this year.

I think this will be a popular answer, Finn Bálor not being injured. Some of you may remember I was against Bàlor winning the title, but him being injured changed the main event scenes so much, and I really wonder what Raw would be like if he wasn't injured. Would KO still be treated like a main eventer? How would of JeriKO turned out? Would Trips betray Seth? With who? Finn? How would have Finn been treated as champ? How long? Etc. Who would have thought one messed up landing could leave so many questions

 

[Grievous 3D]

Well...most of my "favorites" have had good to great years...
even Bray Wyatt managed to win some Silver late this year.

Bálor being injured certainly changed the landscape for RAW...

But...if I had to change one thing...I would like to have seen a
happy, healthy and wellness policy violation free Paige on RAW.

Reigns heel turn.

Start booking their TV longterm rather than week to week

I would change the way KO is being portrayed: a coward scapegoat champion. Don't get me wrong, I love that he's the top dog, but the way they're using him is absurd. He goes from being able to beat cena clean to needing Jericho every match.

This was something I pointed out was going to happen the moment he won the belt but as good as everyone shot me down and said I was wrong.


Good grief Kevin is being treated like a shit champ. The curse of not being a McMahon

I agree with that one the most...Right after that would be Finn's injury....but since those are already listed I'm going to say the draft selections, their were a few people I feel like should have went to SD Live like Sheamus, Cesaro and Sami Zayn. Basically my point is they could have been top contenders on SD instead of their current placement on RAW.

Double posting:
John Cena heel turn!!!!!!

Now there's an idea. :

Not sure why they think W2W booking is a good idea.. it's clearly an inferior product with less planning behind the storylines then a promotion that uses long term booking more often than not.

Finn's injury has to be #1. Seeing dude get hurt sucked so much.

From me it's gotta be a writing complaint, which is - mainly for the Raw brand - to make their characters feel like actual characters and not rehashed archetypes.
Like Rusev for instance, the generic anti-american heel worked for what it was, but he's so much better now that he's like an actual dude with motivations and stuff.

 

[Mr. Roman Empire]

All the god damn rematches. Holy shit I feel like I've been watchung been watching the same feuds since the brand split

I wouldn't have had 7 hours of WrestleMania. Between the preshow and the show going well over four hours, it was hard to get excited. I mean, I love wrestling nearly as much as a person can. But after a two hour preshow and a subpar and long show, it was just way too much. It was draining. I personally found WrestleMania 31 to be the best Wrestlemanias of all time. It saddened me that such a great show was succeeded by such a poor show. And who knows? Maybe the show wasn't as bad as it seemed to me. It may have been that after 7 hours, I was too spent to enjoy anything.

Oh I understand ya man... Have seen a few people talk about how "If you go back and watch Triple H vs Roman it's actually not that bad. Not being fatigued helps!"... If you want to try that out, feel free.

But strangely my thoughts coming out of the show was that it was a 3/10, but thought "It'll get better with time, because that women's match was such a wonderful treat to see. The new belt, the serious treatment, the entire showcase between the entrances onto the match itself... is what we'll remember from this Wrestlemania."

Oddly enough, I have to actively try to remember that because my first reaction is to throw my hat across the room and yell WHY DID CHRIS JERICHO PIN AJ STYLES IN 2016. Then remember that Ambrose/Lesnar disaster.

It seems like the legacy of that show though is simply where the faces just kept losing. Decisions as to who went over came across both strange and inconsequential.

Still want a Y2AJ shirt tho
