also, this is old, but the answer is not getting another established showrunner, it's letting your writer's room actually run like a writer's room with maybe just, ten people at max, without a domineering old insane booker. Keep those people in the Titan offices, all the other writing talent are on location script writers/editors working with talent and agents and working towards the plan that isn't changed on the fly. if things go wrong with injuries, you can book filler raws at the last minute, and recover/come up with a new direction over the week.

NXT, ROH, and Lucha work because they're taped at once, meaning they're forced to follow a direction for at least some length of time, but it's false to think you can't do this with weekly live shows. You just need someone who can commit to a story line, and isn't tempted by every whim they have. You need someone who isn't a jumpy, insane booker at the helm, but you still need a booker at the end of the day, not just a prestige television director.

So what you're saying is SouthPaw Wrestling needs to come back? I agree.

Most people in Japan don't have yards so that makes Roman cool and mysterious.

Roman's yard should be the bamboo forest known for people committing suicide in out there in Japan.

 Roman needs to go to DDT wrestling and beat guys in baseball stadiums where it's owner "Donald Trump" books matches involving putting firecrackers in ones rear end in a top hat. Roman also needs to job to a nine year old girl and make it a five star match.

If Romans gimmick was telling the audience he wanted to "show them something" and then he shot a bottle rocket out of his rear end I'd cheer him.

Roman vs Hard Gay = MOTY and SIX stars.

Here's a good test. Of all the feuds Roman's been in, when has he been the more entertaining guy?

Duh when it was The Shield.
