What will it take for you to tune in?

[Solid Snake]

For the members here who are currently not tuning in to watch RAW every week...
What would it take for you to tune in and actually want to watch the show again?

As I mentioned in the rate thread, a new creative team for me. They need new and fresh ideas on the table.
Lawd knows they have the talent so they need to stop going back to the same old things.

@Snowman :thumbsup:

I would love for the stories to improve drastically, the finish to most matches make more sense and better creative ideas. I've said this before, if I can easily come up with ideas for this then it might not be worth my time. Also, if I or anyone can make predictions that actually happen then this is failing in many ways.

I think something like a show needs to be relatable with some paths that we the audience/viewers may already know but take creative twists where it not only shocks us, it provides a clear purpose.

@Solid Snake will hopefully understand this gif I added lol :emoji_grin:

 

[CM Punk]

A couple of things for me.

One would probably be CM Punk. I still feel like there's no one on the roster today who promo's in such a believable manner as he did.

Also, I stopped watching cause that year kinda made me mad.
Punk left and Undertaker streak is broken are probably the two main things that made me turn away from the product. And over the year it was harder to sell these new stars. In the span four years from 2009, we lost The Hardy's, CM Punk, Batista, John Morrison, Carlito, MVP, Kelly Kelly & basically every star I kinda grew up with.

Second would be refreshing storylines with maybe a stable similar to Evolution, Nexus or nWo. A mafia type stable with Reigns as the center(HHH) with another somewhat veteran and two stars of the future down from nXt. (Jason Jordan would have been a good fit but his career might be over already?)

Third would be to actually create characters and let them have personalities. We have three hours of RAW yet no one gets to explain their character.

Braun Strowman is a monster. Okay whatever.
Finn Balor is a part time Demon. Why though? And what summons it?

Not enough interesting characters, not enough interesting storylines.

They need to really just figure out a way to appeal to casual fans and long-term ones. Many storylines end too soon or get dragged out too long.
I say it all the time but I need some kind of drama and heat going with a feud to invest in the match. Wrestling only interests me if I enjoy the story angle.

Phil is a total jackarse but he knew how to work his character in a way so many seem to struggle with in the WWE.

2009 was when I got into wrestling again and by 2014, I basically lost most of my interest in it. They had some really good things going those 4 years and I am not sure what happened. It seems like part of me maybe grew out of what they were doing after that but a lot of people I enjoyed, like yourself, were either gone or not as involved.

Kelly Kelly

I think 3 hours kind of adds to this for me actually. Like they really don't need the show to be that long. Given everything going on and the fact that most people would prefer a shorter show, I think it would benefit them. They can also allow wrestlers to have more time off which will reduce injuries.

Not enough interesting characters, not enough interesting storylines.

The interesting characters or angles get stopped or held back. They seem to like to play it "safe".
I wish some legit competition would pop up to put a flame under their arses.

 

[Farooq]

Have Nick Aldis live defend the NWA World's Heavyweight Championship against John Cena. Or use their hours solely to focus on divisions and storyline progression. Like they have four championships and three hours. There's plenty of time to progress storylines aiming for those belts and then build up whatever they want to do for Evolution and more. Hell each belt doesn't even need to come out each week, but damn make something feel important for once lol

 

[Snowman1]

I'm still not sure how to answer this. :dawg:

ya know, since you tagged me...

back to your regularly scheduled porn discussions!

 

[Jeffry Mason]

If I didn't work Mondays I'd probably start watching again, just cuz nothing better to do at that time. I'm not spending 2 1/2 hours watching it the next day though when results are already out there

 

[Grievous 3D]

Continuity, proper character development & interesting storylines...
Demon Balor...
No more Dom 'N' Sub Connection vs. Riott Squad matches...
Dana Brooke topless...
Strowman acting like a true monster again...
No Alexa Bliss...
Awesome 20 minute Seth Rollins matches...

Should I keep going?

 

[Farooq]

Have Kanye West host an episode with Matt Hardy.

 

[Koko B.]

Better characters. Matches that mean something. Too much 50/50 booking and predictable storylines. No Roman Regins.

Aside from life getting busy, what was the final nail was Bobby Lashley defeating Roman Reigns @ extreme rules meant absolutely nothing. Reigns then beats Lashly on Raw, and goes to SummerSlam to face Brock. With that I was done.

 

[Farooq]

In seriousness, probably torture.

 

[Solid Snake]

In seriousness, probably torture.

But it is already torture to tune in every week.

 

[Koko B.]

I didn't even bother with SummerSlam. That was whe life was getting busy, and I tuned out just before. Lashley vs Lesnar would have been interesting and might have kept me watching. Instead the match at extreme rules meant nothing, and reigns is pushed. No thanks. I've still followed results. Much quicker reading results than watching 3 hours of RAW. Face Elias, Heel Ambrose, and no reigns sounds a little interesting. But I want to know wins actually mean something before I tune back in.

Ikr? Couldn't think of any form higher than watching Raw after posting it.
