In the long ago late 90s, in the faraway land of Stamford, Connecticut, Vince McMahon, his awful kids and Vince Russo, created some of wrestlings most bizarre and flat-out insane storylines. Since that Attitude Era heyday, the company has made a ruthlessly aggressive effort to clean up its act. Whether the change came because of Linda McMahons Senatorial run or just a natural evolution to attract new audiences, WWE is now solidly PG programming. Turn on Raw and youll see superstars blowing up at each other over things like... popcorn. Hey, at least they stopped making those Marine movies, right? But, adult WWE fans were raised on Mae Young giving birth to a hand and HHH screwing a mannequin in a coffin, they miss insanity. Kooky, crazy or even controversial storylines would raise the emotional stakes and keep things unpredictable. And in some cases, the narrative opportunities easily present themselves: it's just a shame that WWE would inevitably bat them away without so much as a second thought.
8. The Bono-fied League Of Nations
The Problem: In 2015 WWE fans universally declared their aversion to more title belts being slapped on Sheamus blindingly white waist. The guy cant get over as champ and leading the cobbled together League of Nations is doing absolutely nothing for him. Insane Storyline: Even The Social Outcasts make The League of Nations look charismatic and compelling by comparison, so maybe it's time to make Sheamus as arrogant and obnoxious as possible in his new leader role. Make that little bit of power go right to his mohawkd head. Have Sheamus start talking and acting suspiciously like another Irish superstar he once worked security for in real life, Bono. He can claim that through his wrestling work and philanthropy he is defeating evil and helping Africa. Not everyone is happy with the new sunglasses sporting Bono Sheamus especially Dean Ambrose who cuts up the new image in promo after promo, because in Ambroses words U2 Sucks! Why They'd Never Do It: The hyper-controlling back office might having a hard time letting the bit develop. Sheamus doesn't have a proven track record with comedy, unless you count being the subject of never-ending tater-tots jokes.
