5. Stables
Stables, stables EVERYWHERE! I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who thought the most entertaining time in western wrestling was around 97-98 when each promotion had several stables battling it out each week. WWE had the Corporation, The Ministry, DX, The Nation etc. whereas WCW was flying high with the nWo and all its different bands alongside the New Horseman, the Latino World Order and WCW itself. This was the boom period of pro-wrestling, and the fact that there was gang warfare on TV was no coincidence. It was easy for storylines and rivalries to form. The biggest fish were involved with the smallest to some degree and "shock" turns made for interesting viewing. As of late, we haven't seen a single worthwhile stable since the Nexus, and that got brushed off fairly quickly. But now we have the New Corporation. Now is the time to bring back stables, so that fights against Triple H and his cronies can get interesting. Paul Heyman is already making a team for himself, and if they were to add a couple more guys to the fold, it could get interesting. CM Punk could make a nice, Indy fuelled cult to set the hearts racing and, Hell, Cena could have his own team full of the biggest, grinning baby faces in the company. As I alluded to earlier, having teams gives a great amount of opportunity for the talent to work alongside established stars, gain the rub from said stars and also work against opponents they likely wouldn't if they were flying solo. Let's not forget the girls either! I've said for a long time that a Diva can only get super-over if aligned with a 'gent. AJ Lee is a prime example after her involvement with, well, everyone, and if each group had its own leading lady, we would care more about the division. Creative will have almost infinitely more options to graft angles and the easy way out, storyline wise, would still be fairly entertaining. The marketing team will rub their hands with the amount of merch teams will be able to shift to their given supporters alongside each individual's own merchandise. I would say that the nWo and DX shirts where some of the biggest sellers in wrestling history purely for the reason you were joining a team rather than supporting an individual. Besides all this, it will create a landscape within WWE that is almost a polar opposite to that of the past decade, where it has pretty much always been one guy not liking another guy for reason "X" and occasionally with a shiny belt thrown in as an added prop. It's stale even now, and if the current angle pitting our favourite bearded friend versus the machine has proven anything, it's that having a group means more action, and that's one of the main reasons we watch wrestling.
