10 Ways To Make WWE Cool Again

10. Let Talent Be Unique

One of the main criticisms levied at WWE in recent years is just how homogeneous the product tends to feel. So many of the stars churned out by the company's Performance Center and developmental system feel like they come out of a cookie cutter, and the result is a unified look and style of wrestling that just comes off as sanitized - and let's not even get started on the promos.

During the Attitude Era, stars really felt unique, and the result was that they crossed over and became real celebrities in mainstream media. Fans also saw stars who wouldn't have gotten a chance today - like Mick Foley - really connect with a crowd and shoot up the card, soon becoming legends. It's imperative WWE allows for different kinds of superstars in the company, and lets wrestlers explore their own characters.

There's no shortage of great talent in the company today - stars like AJ Styles, Shinsuke Nakamura, Apollo Crews, Hideo Itami, Austin Aries, Sasha Banks, and more. Even Enzo Amore, whose in-ring abilities leave something to be desired, is one of a kind. As it is now, though, it tends to feel like the standouts are all run through the WWE machine and stripped of what made them unique - then shunted to the side in favor of the likes Roman Reigns, Big Cass, and Jinder Mahal.
