10 Ways WWE Can Improve Its Product In 2017
5. Employ More "WWF" Minds.
No disrespect is meant here, but why is it that almost immediately after WCW went out of business, WWE began employing failed WCW personnel in powerful positions? WWE loves reminding everyone that WCW lost the Monday Night War, and while this far from disqualifies WCW alumni from providing positive contributions to the business, why wouldn't WWE stick to their own personnel that helped them defeat WCW? In other words, why doesn't WWE hire more "WWE" or "WWF" minds?
Maybe you're not aware, but here are just a few of the names that fall into this category: Arn Anderson, Dusty Rhodes, John Lauranaitis, Billy Kidman, Fit Finlay, Scott Armstrong, and Dean Malenko. Tell me, these are names most often associated with which major wrestling promotion?
While incredible minds with a WWE pedigree are available in the likes Scott Hall, Bret Hart, Sean Waltman, Jake Roberts, Edge, or even Paul Heyman, these are names that never appear in the list of contributors to WWE Creative.
Unless WWE wants the quality of their product to continue devolving into WCW-levels circa 2000, why continue to empower components from the ship that sank rather than the ship that sailed?
