A wrestling season

Rehashing some of the NWO Revenge tales in our previous lists got me to thinking about pro wrestling or sports entertainment or whatever it's called right now. I haven't watched either WWE or TNA for a few years. I haven't even bought or played the last couple of versions of Raw versus Smackdown. I've lost interest. That happened once before in the early 90s till the mid to late 90s, and my interest was piqued actually by the Revenge video game more than anything else.
Anyways the business of wrestling has been in a slow tailspin since the end of the Attitude Era and the purchase of WCW. I continued to watch for a few years as a lot of the dream WWF/WCW matches played out, usually not very well, in the new WWE. A few years ago TNA started to provide some competition for WWE. But it doesn't really compete. First of all, WWE is a streamlined product, it will get big again sometime because some character will take off, but in the meantime it is very kick and punch. I stopped watching RAW in part because it was essentially the same show with the same matches and same interview segments each week.
The little I have seen of TNA hasn't been very good. There's some interesting talent and characters and the six-sided ring is different. But basically it's WWE south with a different ring and less quality production and storyline writing.
How do you compete? How do you really do something different?
I think you have to look at what works around you in other pro sports and in reality entertainment.
First, don't televise new shows all year long. 6-to-8 months. If you have the backing to pay performers well, this will take some of the stress of their bodies, hopefully decrease steroid and drug dependency. Plus, it will keep the audience fresh. Give them a break and allow you to build excitement for next season by showing re-run highlights during television time. It also cuts back on production costs for a new company while still generating sales through DVDs and merchandise.
Second, no more champions. That is not more having a guy carry around a belt. Instead each season will determine that year's individual champion and possibly tag champions. At the beginning of the next year they're the defending champions in name like the N.Y. Giants are the defending Super Bowl champions. I think the way to work this is by creating 5 man teams at the beginning of each season. Each wrestler wants to win individually for himself but also for the team because they're would be incentives like automatic bids into season ending playoffs something like that. Here's where the drama comes in as teams try co-exist with each other and against other teams. You could even have a team manager or something. They're a lot coulds and shoulds in this part and I haven't worked it all out. Probably each week two teams could face off in a best of series matches. Each team would also pick two guys in the group to wrestle in the tag division. They're are endless offshoots. As I mentioned earlier, the end of the year they're be a playoffs to determine individual champion. That's where the team probably dissovles. Probably top eight records or maybe even use a point system to get into tournament with winning team getting three automatic bids.
Third, no more monthly pay-per-views. This became too formulaic in the WWE and WCW. Week one of each month set up new rivarly. Week two the rivarly is brought out in tag team main event or something like that. Third week the PPV match is made. Foruth week the face is beat down by heal. PPV - whatever happens, happens. In the new company, you have maybe three pay per views. The final one being the year singles and tags tournament. The other two could allow teams to earn challenges on the pay per view during regular shows. This is how rivalries could get settled. If you work on a points system, more point could be awarded for PPV match wins and main event wins. Team would try and get as many guys on the PPV as possible with them probably choosing who to fight in what kind of match. Again this could have endless offshoots.
Fourth, don't depend too much upon extremely muscled guys, wilds stunts and wacky run-ins. A little of all those are OK. But just a little and only used when needed or it makes sense.
I know this got long and there's probably more to it that I forgot and some of it is confusing. But I figured if NASCAR people can understand the algorithm they use to determine a champion, wrestling fans could get this.
