Okay so the other day I read a blog post written by Callum entitled, “WWE: Future Champions” (Link Here). This article highlighted some WWE stars that the author felt should be future WWE champions and he outlines some good reasons as to why he picked the people he chose. In reading this blog, I found myself agreeing with some of his points as to some future WWE talent that should get some shine as well as some things going on in WWE today that aren’t good for these titles. It then got me to wondering about my own grievances and ideas that I have towards the ‘E and that if I could have it my way I would enact, so I present for your viewing pleasure, 10 Ideas the WWE should Consider (in no particular order):

1. PLEASE WWE put Naomi back as a Diva’s wrestler!!! She can go in the ring for real!

Let’s face facts; the WWE Divas division is weak! With the collapse of Kharma no longer being there, the Divas are down to a small handful of capable women’s wrestlers, but there is one person who the WWE don’t put on in the ring but THEY SHOULD! Her name is Naomi. She pretty much ran the NXT Divas Season and was great in FCW. Don’t believe me, Read this blog Knox wrote entitled “The Next Breakout WWE Diva” (Link Here )

2. Kaitlyn, Eve Torres, or Tamina needs to be Divas champ!

Kaitlyn because she can actually wrestle, Eve because she has gotten way better in the wrestling department, and/or Tamina because it seems like she was long overdue. One minute she was dominating the Divas, then a match with Layla and lost, and then nothing. How did that happen?!?!

3. Put the tag belts on the PrimeTimePlayers like RIGHT NOW!!

These two dudes #MillionsOfDollars, #MoneyMakin’Scholars, #PTP aka Darren Young and Titus O’Neil have been building up chemistry and teamwork since the days of NXT being on WWE.com(yeah remember that?). Now WWE makes them a legit threat to the Tag belts, they get a match at SummerSlam…and…LOSE?!?!....WHY?!?

4. WWE needs to give Justin Gabriel, Alex Riley, & Tyson Kidd, some shine (and some gold too)!

Okay so I am just sick and tired, of being like the rest of the IWC and saying something along the lines of “Man, Justin Gabriel, Alex Riley, & Tyson Kidd got some tremendous talent, but they don’t really get no attention on TV” WWE needs to fix this ASAP. It’s about time to start phasing out these older talents recycled down our throat guys and make way for the new generation.

5. Make Wade Barrett’s return (and his Barrage) mean something (World Heavyweight or WWE Belt)!

I’m not the only one who thinks that Wade Barrett is a big bad ass mofo that is ready to take the WWE by storm. Clearly his character has shown he has the cerebral ability to be great (a la being leader of Nexus and Corre). Time to take the mental ability and add it to his bare-knucklebrawler brash and arrogant attitude and make him the big time guy he deserves to be.

6. Where the heck is Dean Amborse?!?! Bring em’ out already!!!

Does anyone remember when Dean Ambrose was getting so much love from the IWC? Does anyone remember Dean Ambrose having a twitter war with Mick Foley? Does anyone remember Dean Ambrose wrestling CM Punk in FCW and afterwards CM Punk giving him props and saying he’s gonna be a big deal soon? Yeah I do too but one question….WHERE IS HE?!?! He should have been came out onto the main scene in WWE.

7. Keep doing Dolph Ziggler with these almost cashing in MITB spots!

I absolutely love how the WWE is twisting my emotions with Dolph Ziggler. I mean a guy who a lot of people in the IWC think should be a World Heavyweight Champ has the best opportunity to become one, and every time he gets close to cashing it in….something always happens! Whether it be that Sheamus comes to and gives him the Brogue Kick, Randy Orton stops him and gives him the RKO, or he decides at the last second not to cash it in. It makes for some dramatic television.

8. Please stop with the Jerry Lawler matches PLEASE!!!

Look I get it, CM Pink needed a pawn to beat up on and handle to prove his point that he is BEST IN THE WORLD, but of all the pawns he could use, the ‘E gives him Jerry Lawler?!?! Gimme a break man! Look Jerry Lawler is a 60-something washed up wrestler who can barely….correction….CAN’T commentate and you guys chose him to be the sacrificial lamb to be slaughtered for the benefit of the CM Punk-I WANT RESPECT campaign?!?! Two words……BAD IDEA!!!

9. Please stop putting John Cena last on my PPVs !!

Almost all of the PPVs this year ended involving John Cena in some form of fashion. In fact Here is a list of the last match to go on a PPV starting at Elimination Chamber (FEB):

• Elimination Chamber (FEB): John Cena def Kane (Ambulance Match
• Wrestlemania 29 (APR): Rock def John Cena
• Extreme Rules (APR): John Cena def Brock Lesnar (Extreme Rules Match)
• Over the Limit (MAY): John Laurinaitis def John Cena
• No Way Out (JUNE): John Cena def Big Show (Steel Cage; Laurinaitis Fired)
• Money in The Bank (July): Cena def Kane, Jericho, Big Show, & Miz (WWE MITB)
• SummerSlam (AUG) Brock Lesar def Triple H

Question: Which one of these things is not like the others?!?! I know Cena is a big deal, but we’ve seen 8 of 12 PPVs & 7 of 8 had John Cena in the MAIN EVENT!!! Quit putting him there all the time. There are other guys more deserving of that spot……like CM Punk #RESPECT

10. I WISH THIS WOULDN’T HAPPEN, BUT IT’S SO OBVIOUS TO SEE: at the Royal Rumble, have CM Punk loses the WWE Title to Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, only to have John Cena win the Royal Rumble in order to finally get the WWE Title back at Wrestlemainia 29 (only for the WWE to setup Rock Cena III at WM30).

I pose this scenario to you all and save this blog if it comes true:

CM Punk beats John Cena at Night of Champions, and keeps the title til January. The Rock comes in at the Royal Rumble and beats CM Punk for the title while John Cena wins the Rumble. Cena then beats Rock at WrestleMania 29, and then we get a whole ‘nother freakin’ year of Rock vs Cena because the WWE is going to plan it as the “rubber match to take place on the grandest stage of them all….WRESTLEMANIA 30!!”

You know what I call this: PREDICTABLE WWE PROGRAMMING

I... First I just want to say that this is my very first blog of any kind, so please forgive me if I don’t follow some proper blog writing procedures. I wrote this because of a conversation that my friend and I were having and we were talking about wrestling matches that we liked their concepts, but we don’t really see these matches anymore. We came up with a few so I wanted to talk about them and see what the rest of the IWC thinks about these matches and the concepts of them; so here we go:

Iron Man
This match was just an all-out test of pure will, strength and determination. It was two men going at it for a lengthy time period to score the most pin falls. It was one of the many ways in wrestling to prove who truly the better man was. Some of the greatest Iron-Man matches of all time include: Chris Benoit vs Kurt Angle (Backlash: April 29, 2001), AJ Styles vs Christopher Daniels (Against All Odds: February 13, 2005), Kurt Angle vs Samoa Joe (Final Resolution: January 14, 2007), and the epic that was Shawn Michaels vs Bret Hart (WrestleMania XIII [13]: March 31, 1996).

WarGames
It was one of the greatest brainchild’s of “The American Dream” Dusty Rhodes. It wasn’t just a cage match, it was a war zone. You had two rings and a cage surrounding both of them, two teams fighting an all-out war till one man on a team was pinned or submitted or unable to go. It was truly a brawl that even cited some of these matches ending abruptly because some competitors were injured (e.g. WarGames match at WrestleWar: February 14, 1991 when at the 21:50 mark El Gigante ran in to surrender the match on Brian Pillman's behalf after he had been knocked out and legitimately injured by two botched powerbombs from Sid Vicious.)

TerrorDome/Steel Asylum
One thing TNA had going for them at the time was the famous 6-sided ring. When they got rid of it (WHY I DON’T KNOW!!!), they came out with the “TerrorDome” as it was first called then subsequently changed to the “Steel Asylum”. Their best X-division stars locked in not just any cage, but the toughest cage to climb out of to date. The only way to escape was a hole in the very ceiling of its structure. The concept of such a match was somewhat creative seeing as how it was a direct spinoff of the infamous gladiator-like structure from the 1985 Mel Gibson film, “Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome”, but its execution was excellent. The Steel Asylum has been forever linked to one of the most important moments in TNA history: the re-emergence of Jeff Hardy on January 4, 2010.

King of the Mountain
This was another wrestling concept from the minds of TNA Wrestling. It was their annual match at their “Slammiversary” PPV till 2010. You had 5 men, a ladder, a belt, and….a penalty box?! ….YES! The idea was that each man started out as “ineligible”. The only way to become “eligible” was to pin or submit an opponent, thus causing them to go into the “penalty box” for 2 minutes. Now as an “eligible” wrestler, you could ask for the title from ringside, climb a ladder, and hang the belt above the ring to prove that you truly were “King of the Mountain”. This match concept is one of my favorites of all-time because it had the one element that was hard to ignore being the penalty box. To some, it was an ally as a weapon or a place to conspire against other competitors, to others, it was a pure hell getting thrown into it, slammed on top of it, or even bet up in it. The two times the X-Division stars were in this match, they took it to a whole new level.

Championship Scramble
Ok so that people don’t think I’m a total TNA mark, I would like to highlight one of my other favorite wrestling concepts which comes from the ‘E. The Championship Scramble match was literally a scramble. You had started out with 2 guys and add 1 guy to the match every 5 minutes, then to add to the dysfunction of this match, the only way to win, was to be the last man to score a pin fall or submission during a 5 minute period AFTER the last guy comes in. It was pretty much setting up the last guy in the match to when because everyone else had been beating up on each other for the last 25 minutes, and that’s exactly what happened 2 of the 3 Championship scramble matches at WWE Unforgiven in 2008. Triple H and Chris Jericho were the last men to enter the WWE & World Heavyweight Championship Scrambles respectfully and won. The exception that night was Matt Hardy who was one of the first men in the ECW Championship Scramble and won. I think the overall concept of the match is a great idea. It created a lot of chaos and made for some unusually fast-paced action from big name guys in WWE. The only two bad things about it is that as I said earlier in 2 of 3 Scrambles the last man in won which is easily predictable amongst that chaos, and that I wish that there was more of a longer time to score a pin fall to win the Scramble not just 5 minutes.

So which of these concepts do you like? Which do you hate? Which match concepts do you think should also be added to this list of Match Concepts of Yesteryears? Please comment below and give me any feedback. It’s greatly appreciated!

Peace, Love, & Wrestling!!!
