Q+A #35: What We Would Do If We Ran WWE/TNA For One Day & More

[sneak2attack]

I hate what they are doing with Wade Barret his feuds are very very predictable. First he trash talk him in one night then other time he interfere at a match then finally before the PPV you have stare down and walk away . The exact same pattern with different opponent nothing is being done with him that is different or creative . Such a wasted talent . WAKE UP WWE!

[WWEDaniel01]

@sneak2attack The feuds are booked generally right, they have done different things with the feud, you could say all feuds are like that, but WWE are doing it right, the right formula can sometimes be predictable but can still be effective... I don't think for one minute he is a wasted talent or something different needs to be done with him creatively... They are doing it simply and effectively

[sneak2attack]

I think Wade could benefit from feuding with Taker even if he lost, it is all about he is booked and how good is the storyline.

You can win all prizes Royal rumble, WWE championship, main even Wrestle Mania, money in the bank and people will still no take you seriously. A good example would be ADR and the Miz. I believe it is not about what you achieved the same would applied to breaking the streak.

[WWEDaniel01]

@sneak2attack He definitely would benefit from a feud with Taker, I just don't think WWE have got him anywhere near Takers level yet, maybe they could have him feud with Taker at Summerslam and win or something, protect the streak that way. Well making a guy win RR and main eventing WM is a good way to get people to take them seriously, it was just how they followed it up and how he was booked that hurt Del Rio

[Str8talk50]

If you were in charge you missed something important divas bikini contest,bra and panty matches and just dressing sexier I mean even if a bra and panty match sucked it had a pay off

[WWEDaniel01]

@Str8talk50 Yer but in this era that just ain't gonna happen is it

[mikej690]

The TV title is a massive joke. I think the pope would be the perfect for that championship to make it into a bigger midcard title. WWE is pg yet their demographic is 77% adults and the kids go to sleep during their 1 hour main event so if that 77% goes down then their screwed. If i could control wwe for a day i would destroy FCW and send all thr talent to OVW and destroy wwe films with a bulldozer :) For my question if you guys could control ROH for a day what would you change?

[WWEDaniel01]

@mikej690 The TV title could be used so well but TNA made it into a joke for some unknown reason, it should be a mid-card title similar to the IC belt and whatnot... WWE are trying to appeal their product to 23% demographic, which is just downright bad business full stop... FCW is a pretty good product, but they haven't made that many stars, credit that to JR back in OVW days, its more Johnny Ace's (and therefor Vince's) fault than anything... Good question, I'll add that to the list

[mikej690]

@WWEDaniel01 yes you look at crimson or matt morgan and see 2 guys that shouldn't be in the world title picture just yet but their a tag team now and sooner or later they will make them feud why not let the tv title be apart of their feud. FCW is good but alot of people that were called up from FCW like darren young curt hawkings, hell many of them have been fired or arent doing anything. the thing about the tag teams in both wwe and TNA need alot of work like getting the usos over or something

[WWEDaniel01]

@mikej690 Well Morgan could be, but Crimson needs more work, I think he will better as a heel personally, which is why I look forward to those 2 feuding at some point (which I'm sure is the whole point of putting them together in the first place)... FCW doesn't produce the best talents, but they have some good ones in there at the moment, its just how WWE chooses to spotlight them which will be important

[mikej690]

@WWEDaniel01 I agree Crimson doesn't look like a good guy he looks like a badass that have poential to be a good heel. wwe should do just like their doing now and thats not to call anyone up untill wwe creative (who are full of people who shouldn't be in the business like stephine ) comes up with a storyline for them

[WWEDaniel01]

@mikej690 Crimson should work better as a heel... I do want WWE to stick with only using an FCW guy (like they did Del Rio) if they have something really strong planned for them

[ThePagooner]

Who would u like to see daft raw to sd n sd to raw ??

[WWEDaniel01]

@ThePagooner Good question, we will answer this question in a future Q+A

[MrJermaine418]

I Descoverd WWE at that same time line year as u did...I fell in love wit wcw in the 90's before I watched WWF/WWE and was tear apart btw WCW and WWE...I cheated on WCW and dated WWE lol I've been hook on ever since.

[WWEDaniel01]

@MrJermaine418 Well WWF was always where it was at, WCW was good but I never really watched it because I couldn't, I was too young to watch it, but WWF was on sky sports and on terrestrial TV for us sometimes (RR 2000 was on a free TV channel for us)

[EXXXTACY69]

Actually WWE's biggest demographic is 50+.

[WWEDaniel01]

@EXXXTACY69 Even though they market to kids, great business model don't you think?

[EXXXTACY69]

@WWEDaniel01 I don't know because the older people didn't like the Attitude Era so this this probably appeals to them as well.

Yeah I was surprised by the report I read too.

[WWEDaniel01]

@EXXXTACY69 Well in the golden era they were PG but they weren't trying to appeal to kids, they were still focusing on their main 18-49 demographic

[dbzdezz1]

hmm i think guys like triple h and taker are at the point where they need to start put young guys over

[WWEDaniel01]

@dbzdezz1 Well HHH is, Taker has put over many young guys

[dbzdezz1]

@WWEDaniel01 yes but how many yrs ago did taker do that as for edge at that time he was already doin good taker really didnt need to put him over much hunter need to start he should have done that with punk but he didnt i like taker but the guy comes bac just for mania cause the wwe are not buildin theyre wrestlers enough for they can sell mania cause taker dont need to be in the ring anymore u can and see that

[WWEDaniel01]

@dbzdezz1 Tbh I think its less case of Taker wanting to face HHH, as I know he wants to work with the young guys (also lets not forget from 09-12 he has only made sporadic appearances), I think its more WWE wanting HHH in there than Taker not putting young guys over

[dbzdezz1]

@WWEDaniel01 if thats the case let taker put over these young guys cause in the long run wwe will need like they do now and they need to stop feedin hunters ego cause in the long run it will hurt ur company instead of help

[WWEDaniel01]

@dbzdezz1 Which is one of the many reasons why people don't want this match to happen

[kitelime66]

if i ran WWE for a day 1.make it TV 14 agian 2.bring back jr to replace micahel cole 3.make the ring ropes red again and change the set back to what it was in the attitude era 4 make more tag teams 5.make feuds last longer 6.get rid of the fucking gimmick ppvs 7.put more personal or intersting stuff in feuds so people can get into them more 8.bring back chair shots to the head, blood, and cursing 9.turn cena heel 10.and for the love of god change the fucking theme songs for each show

[WWEDaniel01]

@kitelime66 While they are good options, some of those are really not realistic because of the era we are in

1) Great idea, but its not the TV14 that is the problem, it is the writing

2) JR has balls palsey, which means he cannot be on TV all the time

3) The ring ropes colour doesn't matter lol

4) More tag teams are needed, watch my tag team solution video on my channel (MrParkin01)

5) Feuds lasting longer is needed

6) Gimmick PPV's are bad and need to be gotten rid of

[WWEDaniel01]

@kitelime66

7. As they are PG WWE need to tread a careful line with what they put in there storylines, which is may why personal stuff isn't in there as much

8. Chair shots to the head are detrimental to health, why do you think Foley is how he is... blood & cursing isn't need to make a good product, was in the attitude era, but the golden era had none of that

9. If Cena turns heel what babyface is big enough to carry the company and sell merch etc?

10. Theme songs could change

[CustomTrons2011]

If I ran TNA for a day?

1. Get rid of the Knockout Tag Team Division.

2. Get out of the Impact zone, bring the product elsewhere, market TNA more around the world.

3. Better tag teams, ( you put the nail in the coffin with Sorrensen and Neese )

4. Make the product more entertaining.. I can't even sit through an episode of Impact without saying or thinking ; When the hell is this gonna end. It's painful to watch at times.

[WWEDaniel01]

@CustomTrons2011

The knockout tag belts are irrelevant... Getting out of the Impact zine is crucial for the company the shit crowds are really killing the feel of the show, marketing is very essential for the TNA product right now if they want to expand viewership on Spike... TNA do need to make some more tag teams too... The product atm is entertaining for us, and the shows now flow well thanks to Prichard, the shows have been pretty good lately

[CustomTrons2011]

5. Make the WWE more unpredictable, toss in some actual swerves, stuff we don't actually expect.

6. Get rid of NXT. Nuff said.

7. Get rid of the worthless divas who don't do anything.

8. Get guys like Cody Rhodes and Wade Barrett into the main event.

[WWEDaniel01]

@CustomTrons2011

Getting rid of NXT is needed because it is just a failure, I'd love WWE to show FCW on a major TV network as I really love that product (I however understand why they don't do it due to being a developmental territory etc)... Make divas valets who aren;t good at wrestling would be a way to go... In 2012 younger guys like Barrett/Rhodes need to be elevated to create the next generation of stars for the future of the company

[CustomTrons2011]

If I ran WWE for a day?

1. FIRE THE FUCKING WRITERS. Get GOOD writers who can make GOOD storylines instead of the shit we see today.

2. Build up the tag team division.. WWE needs more quality teams right now to make the tag team division more entertaining.

3. Focus on making the US title more important, give it to someone who could bring more prestige to the belt, someone like Alex Riley or Ted Dibiase.

4. Sign some new talent, call up Cesare and settle a contract with Chris Hero.

-continue.

[WWEDaniel01]

@CustomTrons2011 A good start would be to fire the writers and bring in some wrestling writers, agree there... Building back to women's/mid-card, tag division would be a priority and signing or bring through new talent would be essential to those processes, whether from TNA/ROH or FCW or just guys not on TV like Riley, Kidd etc

[1992yajirobe]

Q&A What do you think of my Michael Cole Song? P.S. Michael Cole is the greatest superstar of all time.

[ChildOfTheWilderness]

I don't think WWE being PG makes it bad, bad writing and booking and lack of star power makes it bad.

If I were in charge I would bring back the old Women's Title belt & the WWE Title belt. I would focus on building new quality Tag Teams to revive the division and fire the useless Divas.

Focus on making the US title more prestigious as Cody did for the IC. If it is more highly rated then you get more stars fighting over it and more people care.

JR on Raw Commentary, and Regal on SD.

[WWEDaniel01]

@ChildOfTheWilderness Agree, bad writing is what is doing it, and lack of starpower... Bringing back the old women's belt wouldn't do anything, again it is more about the writing... But quality tag teams are needed and I would want to revive both those divisions which are now non-existent... US title needs prestige much like the IC belt does, they need to give the Us belt to a future star like Rhodes to hold, someone like A-Ri would be good for that belt I feel

[dbzdezz1]

@ChildOfTheWilderness idk about cody who has cody really defended that belt agianst cause any guy can hold a belt

[WWEDaniel01]

@dbzdezz1 But its what they are doing and how they are presenting Cody that is making him stand out and therefore making that belt stand out

[dbzdezz1]

@WWEDaniel01 but he can stand out all he wants but it doesnt make him look like good champ its him look like a guy who just can look good wearin a belt cause whats the point of bein a champ when u dont have no to defend agianst

[WWEDaniel01]

@dbzdezz1 To give the guy a belt for a long time and make him stand out is better than pointlessly giving some guy a belt like Barrett had, I'll admit he hasn't defended it that much but he did defend it twice against Booker recently. I would like him to defend more but the main thing is that he is playing an important role on TV and is doing good things with that belt around his waist

[dbzdezz1]

@WWEDaniel01 but how long has cody had that belt if ur if he in the main event scene take the belt off him cause the belt is just around his waist thats it yes booker he did defend agianst but thats it but and he dont need that belt to do good things on tv

[WWEDaniel01]

@dbzdezz1 Yer but they may as well have the belt on him is he is going to be in a prominent spot on TV, especially going into Wrestlemania where hopefully he will have a big IC title match

[dbzdezz1]

@WWEDaniel01 idk about mania cause he dont have really no one defend against i its awhile from mania but it doesnt look good at all 

[WWEDaniel01]

@dbzdezz1 They may have him defend against his real life half brother Dustin Rhodes (i.e. Goldust)

[WWEDaniel01]

@dbzdezz1 But its what they are doing and how they are presenting Cody that is making him stand out and therefore making that belt stand out

[liambrads]

i think the only wrestler who should end the streak was shawn michaels no one is better than mr wrestlemania

[WWEDaniel01]

@liambrads Shawn could've believably ended the streak, but it will take something big to end it (please not HHH), and that is why I would have no one end it, unless WWE know the guy winning is going to be their TOP GUY

[TheNaturegirl30]

Thank you, Nj!! Wade Barrett would be the best person because of their similar fighting styles, But Kane would be the best just out of sheer honor. I highly agree.

[WWEDaniel01]

@TheNaturegirl30 Out of shire honor, yes Kane could break the streak, but I'm not sure that will achieve anything really, whereas Barrett could achieve something long term

[bddesire3000]

Question ...do you think undertaker will be fighting Kane for the next couple of weeks ?? :) please answer

[WWEDaniel01]

@bddesire3000 Is this for our Q+A or do you want an immediate response... Let us know brother

[thebadguy2656]

Dudley boys the greatest tag team ever? Can you answer my question

[WWEDaniel01]

@thebadguy2656 Answer the question you mentioned there, or a question you previously sent in?

[thebadguy2656]

Prime razor Ramon vs prime rock the greatest ever who do you think will win wwedanial01 ???

[WWEDaniel01]

@thebadguy2656 The Rock all the time brother

[MrNRS85]

just to clarify, superstars= pg, goes with wwe's be a star program, raw= tv14, flagship show should have the largest/widest viewing audience. smackdown= pg-13, would help provide great balance for raw being the two largest and well know shows. nxt=r, why, lots of reason perhaps the simplest being we as animals need a place to vent our primal animalistic aggressions. think "down with the sickness" agree or disagree?

[WWEDaniel01]

@MrNRS85 As much as I love the creativity and the uniqueness of the idea, I have to disagree for the reasons I stated in the previous comment

[MrNRS85]

hey fist watcha think about this for the wwe, 4 shows 4 diff ratings pg pg-13 tv14 and r for the widest viewing audience for the wwe as a whole. it may seem odd but think vampire movies, "my babysitter is a vampire" pg, "twilight" pg-13, "blade" tv14, and "30 days of night" r. pg= kids some teens/adults, pg-13= kid/teens some adults, tv14=teens/adults/hardcore some kids, r= adults/hardcore some teens. tv14 widest viewing audience do you agree?

[WWEDaniel01]

@MrNRS85 Ermmm not sure I agree with that, 4 shows a week would be a bit much in terms of production costs etc, and it would be a bit needless as WWE should aim at their biggest demographic from a business perspective anyway, they should try and appeal to everyone with their variation in the product, rather than having different themed shows for different demographics

[saintsrlfc95]

Thank you for answering my questions!, much appreciated!

[WWEDaniel01]

@saintsrlfc95 No worries brother, thanks for sending them in (I botched your name though lol)

[saintsrlfc95]

@WWEDaniel01 haha, i noticed that!

[ThePagooner]

Saw on wrestling app that wwe are going push marson Ryan that why was not in rumble match would you like see get a push ??

[WWEDaniel01]

@ThePagooner Saw that, he wasn't in the Rumble match because they didn't feel it would do anything for him, they want to push him, but they are trying to find the right time to bring him back

[blackrock316]

am not sure if ya'll know, but according to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Crimson is the 2011 overrated star and TNA is 2011 worst television for the 5th time in the row. I don't know what to do with Crimson, but i don't think anybody is ever going to get behind Crimson

[dbzdezz1]

@blackrock316 well i can say this tna has started off the yr good

[WWEDaniel01]

@dbzdezz1 They have indeed

[WWEDaniel01]

@blackrock316 I heard about that, and it doesn't surprise me, TNA always gets bad heat by critics, Prichard has done a good job since taking over, shame it didn't get appreciated more... As for Crimson being overrated, I can see that also, the guy is still very green and his undefeated streak means he has to win all the time pretty much

[ThatSquaredGuy]

Name 3 dream matches you would love to see?

[Dark92Enigma]

@ThatSquaredGuy Undertaker VS Sting

[WWEDaniel01]

@Dark92Enigma Not sure that would get in our top 3...

[WWEDaniel01]

@ThatSquaredGuy Good question will will add it to our list and answer the question as soon as possible

[ventekid]

TAG TEAMS?! Well my oh my, allow me to construct some. Kazarian and Daniels.  Abyss and AJ Styles. Zema Ion and Shannon Moore. Devon and Eric Young.

[WWEDaniel01]

@ventekid We were trying to construct them without changing current storylines, but still some good suggestions, except Eric Young

[SpazPhoenix]

Q&A how would you feel about a IC feud between rhodes & Kidd?

[SpazPhoenix]

Q&A who would win a no rules tag team match? The British Fist or Beermoney2k?

[WWEDaniel01]

@SpazPhoenix we'll add it to our list along with the other question brother

[SpazPhoenix]

@WWEDaniel01 YAYYYYYY

[SpazPhoenix]

*drops a knife*



[WWEDaniel01]

@SpazPhoenix Don't try us lol

[23ClevelandCavalier]

Turn Orton heel again. Thats what I would do.

[WWEDaniel01]

@23ClevelandCavalier He was always better and more effective (especially with his monster booking) as a heel, but WWe seem to want him as a babyface

[THEMEGADEVILOFUTUBE1]

cool vid

[WWEDaniel01]

@THEMEGADEVILOFUTUBE1 thanks!

[SpazPhoenix]

good shit boys!

[WWEDaniel01]

@SpazPhoenix Thanks brother!
