10 Things That Would Happen If WWE Seriously Started Listening To The Fans

5. Tedious GM Segments Would Disappear

Despite WWE's best efforts on Raw to paint it as such, Baron Corbin is obviously not to blame for the show's crappy quality over the past few months. He's a storyline figurehead, nothing more, and he's also not the one writing the segments he bored the crap out of everyone in. Corbin, for better and worse, is only doing as he's instructed.

It's not his fault WWE's writers are nonchalantly hiding behind totally needless authority figure skits to pad the show, fill time and explain things that don't actually need to be explained.

This past Monday, Michael Cole asked on commentary if the McMahon hierarchy might do away with General Managers on the show for a while. If they've been paying attention to fan boredom lately, they will. The whole GM structure is woefully overused, and it's become a crutch for creative rather than a blessing.

WWE should abandon their self-made GM trope, at least temporarily, and return to the days when wrestlers didn't need some lofty suit to authorise their matches.
