8. Avoid Old Mistakes
One of the biggest frustrations as a wrestling fan, is seeing a production that you care about, do the exact same thing over and over again. Its insulting to the fans that pay attention and spend their time and money investing in your product. With a few exceptions here and there, wrestling booking is going to be fairly similar for the most part and as fans we can accept that. The issues I am concerned about, are having a character come out week after week and say exactly the same thing. (HHH as the Authority) Or rehashing old story lines that failed in recent memory. We all remember Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff coming into power, while somehow getting Dixie Carter to unknowingly sign her company over to them. #ExecOfTheYear Fast forward a few years later and now Hulk Hogan is back in his role of fan favorite, while Dixie miraculously got her company back and is now reeking havoc on AJ Styles and the rest of the locker room. Apparently being swindled out of her company taught her little about humility. Now some of you may argue that enough time had passed in the almost 4 years between those two storylines, there was room to try the angle in a completely different way. Well to put in context, just imagine if 4 years after the McMahon Austin feud began, Stone Cold had remained a heel and we were now forced to watch the exact same program, only this time with Austin as the bad guy and that loveable, arrogant billionaire Mr. McMahon as the hero. Doesnt quite have the same appeal does it?
