I've been arguing this for a while. If you do 2 story lines an hour, times three hours is 6 storylines per Raw.
Therefore have 7-8 story lines on the go at once. Rotate them through, meaning once every 4 weeks a storyline is off tv. You give the wrestlers their 20 minutes or whatever, and simply rotate through. It wouldn't be a straight rotation in the sense that the main event guys are different every week, but it would give the midcarders a chance to headline once a month, and the curtain jerkers an opportunity to see how they do midcard.
They also need to have PPVs and The Big 4. They need to make the Big 4 special, and differentiate the PPVs from Raw and Smackdown.
Lastly, and it's a little thing that's my biggest pet peeve in WWE.
Can we always have the champion come out second? Like, why is the champ waiting in the ring? Challenge ALWAYS first.
