| If money weren't an object, I'd buy NWA-TNA, work my way into a sweetheart wrestling contract (I'd aim for USA, since they're probably hurting since WWE left ... well to a degree at least) and pitch them competition to WWE. I'd point at lower ratings overall being caused back a lack of competition and hammer out a deal for one show a week on Wednesday nights, perhaps with a Sunday night wrapup showing some dark matches, etc.
For talent, if I could, I'd grab Orton, Batista, Cena, Jericho, and Rey to augment the current staff. I'd do a bit of housekeeping w/the current payrolls and run with it.
Announcers - I'd buy Foley. I don't care how much it'd cost, I'd buy him. I'd also try to lure Heyman away from WWE w/the promise of a much bigger role in booking.
For booking I'd rely on a commitee headed by Heyman, w/me being the triggerman. I'd also do a lot of the writing. But most of all booking matches would include discussions w/ALL wrestlers involved, so I can sit them down and show them the big picture and get them excited.
Oh, and Miakal would be my ring announcer ala Lillian Garcia. He can wear the dress if he wants to. Simon you can be the timekeeper. And I'd hire Matt S. to do costumes, since he's got Style. |
