Change: Miz doesn't need him and i've found Miz to be a better act when Riley isn't there.

Brodus Clay affiliated with ADR

Keep: Assuming they don't keep it him stuck with ADR forever like the Miz/Riley situation, its a good way for Brodus to come in to the main roster and get immediate recognition. He also works really well as a hired muscle for Del Rio and makes ADR more of a threat going into Wrestlemania. However if he's with Del Rio for more than a couple more months, i'd cange my stance on this.

Keep. I don't like him but he has the charisma of a face.

Keep: Yeah the fans never truly got behind booing him but it kind of needed to happen for that big shock factor and it freshened Austin up a lot at that point.

Keep, it was the best thing in wrestling for a long ass time.



Using Randy Savage mostly as commentator in 1993.

Change: Just was awkward to me and he really doesn't strike me as someone who is a commentator.

Change: Cocky coward Owen as Champion would've been somethign to at the very least, try out. Would run circles around a lot of the people who've had the belt anyway.

Change: While WWE gets media buzz and all that shit with celebrities I never have liked clelebrities being a part of wrestling in any fashion plus there was tons of other guys Show could have faced.

Having a future convicted rapist face Bam Bam Bigelow at Mania 11 in the main event.

Change: While at the time it was probably a good idea I would have rather seen a much better main event. Could have still had the match just not as the main event.

Keep. If he was ready then it's fine by me. He didn't leave us with nothing and coming back in 2003 was good enough.

WWE making two versions of the Tag Title in 2002.

Keep: At the time it made sense and was off to a solid start. Of course though that got fucked up.

Lita's WWE send off.

Change: Never saw it happen but having read about it and how tasteless it was, I never actually had the desire to go and see it considering how much of a fan of hers I was. Something to do some day I guess.

Keep. Doesn't seem to matter whether or not it he won it. He was a credible enough contender for the Title.

Keep: It ended up being a very good change for Taker to show more range for his mic skills.
