2. Replace Vince McMahon

It's so easy to make Vince McMahon into the current scapegoat for all of WWE's problems that it almost seems unfair - but it really isn't. No matter how many other cooks are actively spoiling the company's broth, McMahon is still the CEO and Chairman, and ultimately, the wrestling that comes on TV Mondays and Tuesdays represents his vision.

What that means is that every other problem on this list, if not created by McMahon, was endorsed by him. It also means that, despite his assertions that he's not out of touch, TV viewership has plummeted under his watch, and he bears the responsibility for it.

McMahon will be 72 years old in August, and it's time for him to step down from his role. This isn't meant to suggest that having Triple H or Stephanie McMahon take over as the big boss of WWE will solve all their problems, or even that it won't create new ones - and hey, maybe Vince can continue to guide the company from a business standpoint, if he's willing to do so. The bottom line is, though, that it's clear McMahon's vision for wrestling is sorely outdated.
