The other day I was thinking that WWE is just misguided. They don't know what the fans want (or so it seems) and they just have no direction. So I decided that I would compile a list of suggestions for the WWE.
1. No 2-hour shows. I am a firm believer in this because it would decrease the amount of segments where Cryme Tyme steals money from Eugene, or hopefully even decrease the amount of Bobby Lashley's promos! An hour and a half is enough time to put on a show for the fans and keep them interested.
2. Roster changes. To go along with the smaller time-slot, roster changes would need to be made. Ben did something like this as one of the first posts, but I am going to do my own, cause I think it would be fun. Here's what the rosters should be:
RAW: EDGE, Carlito, Chris Masters, MVP, Cryme Tyme, John Cena, Kane, Johnny Nitro, Randy Orton, HBK, CM Punk, HHH, Umaga, and Santino Marella (if he can wrestle like people say)
Smackdown: Batista, Matt Striker, London & Kendrick, Bobby Lashley, Chris Benoit, Finlay, Shelton Benjamin, King Booker (we will get to him later), Mark Henry, Mr. Kennedy, The Miz, The Great Khali, The Undertaker, and William Regal.
ECW: The Hardyz, Rey Mysterio, Super Crazy, Ric Flair (although this seems weird, he put on one of the best shows in new-ECW history against the Big Show), Balls Mahoney, Shane McMahon, Kenny, Elijah Burke, Kevin Thorn, Marcus Cor Von, RVD (gone), Sabu, Sandman, Tommy Dreamer.
This would leave each roster with 15 main members. With adding 1-2 jobbers to each roster, WWE would have enough to put on wonderful shows every monday, tuesday, AND friday nights.
3. King Booker...needs to be Booker T again. His 15-minute entrance is something to fall asleep through. He is not wrestling currently due to an injury/surgery, and I pray every night that he will come back as his old self. Can you dig it sucka? (had to do it)
4. Title Feuds:
RAW: Edge vs. HBK vs. MVP
IC: CM Punk vs. John Cena
I dont really want to make up new tag-teams
Smackdown: Chris Benoit vs. Mr. Kennedy
US: Mark Henry vs. Shelton Benjamin vs. Bobby Lashley (don't say anything about this)
ECW: Shane McMahon vs. Sabu
TV Titles (brought back): Rey Mysterio vs. Marcus Cor Von vs. Elijah Burke
Tag Titles (brought back): The Hardy Boyz vs. Sandman & Dreamer
5. BRING BACK PAUL HEYMAN!!! If WWE is going to be successful with ECW, it needs to be guided by Paul Heyman. He knows what's right, he knows what the fans want, and most importantly he knows what's extreme.
Basically, this post is worthless and nothing like this would ever happen. But it was fun to type and I hope you enjoyed it as well. If you disagree with anything that I said then post a comment!

While I happen to love it when Cryme Tyme steals from a 32 year old retard, I do agree with your point about the length of shows. Half of the show consists of previews for The Condemned, anyway.
As far as rosters go, I think we're getting closer to roster combinations (look for an article on this from me soon). Look at the number of brands on the upcoming PPV (all three) and the ambiguity of certain character's brand allegiances (Lashley, Umaga).
I still hate Booker T. I think he's untalented and boring. Correct me if I'm wrong (my specialty is not WCW, but I don't ever remember him successfully working a mic).
I love all the feuds except for the one with Mark Henry and Lashley. I think Shelton Benjamin, one of the most technically talented wrestlers in the game, would quit on the spot. For a good laugh, you might as well throw Khali in there and let Benjamin try to leg sweep and cradle him.
Of course Paul Heyman needs to be brought back. All the WWE's problems could be solved with these three names: Paul Heyman, Vince Russo, The Rock.
This brings me to an interesting point. Does the WWE even know there's a problem? I mean, you'd think that they would see people booing their long-term investment (Cena) and not watching their shows (ratings have been dismal after WM23). Does anyone know how they're doing financially or with merchandise? The stock has been consistent, so maybe they think they're doing all right.
