10 Booking Ideas For 2015 That Can Make The Entire WWE Universe Happy
7. More Personality, Less Pro Wrestling
WWE's cancelled Monday Night Raw episode this past Monday allowed WWE the chance to do more longer-form style features with their talent. The sit-down promos gave us the chance to really get to know the personalities behind certain performers in a way now only used to push Triple H's heel CEO character on the WWE's Youtube channel. Roman Reigns getting to talk about his family and his passion in a space uncluttered by a negative fan response was to his benefit. So too, was Paul Heyman's money promo about Reigns' heritage, as well as Brock Lesnar reiterating that he cares about nobody but himself. For acts that the crowd is cold on/doesn't take seriously, more controlled environment segments would actually be quite beneficial.
