The whole system is boring, they neefd a clears definition of the titles. WWE pls make it clear which wrestlers are eligible for which title eg:
WWE TITLE:
-CENA
-PUNK
-LESNAR
-TENSU
-Y2J
- Zigler
...You get my drift
The intercontinental title needs to be available on both brands, years ago this belt was a definite pre-cursor to the big one, now its just a belt given to those who they want to appease for a while.
The united states champion needs to go, its pointless and gives false credibility to its holder.
Tag team championships, this needs to be strictly for "proper tag teams" not to failed faces put together due to poor crowd response etc
There is a lot of work the WWE need to do to get back the interest of the credible audience who have experienced the older product.

Brilliant points Mike
Pay no attention to the psychologist - he's on

ziggs and swagger are probably the most talented wrestlers in the org, based on tech ability - yet they are constant jobbers
I also hate how they ruined R Truth's character. When he got that cigarette from the crowd in england and turned heel, i thought he was going to be WWE's samuel l jackson. instead they made him loony toons

I thought that truth angle was incredible, i was so disappointed when they turned him face

Its the same story with the wwe, they overlook the talent and replace it with one who sells the most, whilst understanderble it's doesn't make for an accomplished piece of entertainment.
Zigg and swagg need a title push like no other, r truth must feel like a proper div, having been given a Plum role only to be put bk in the gimmick that they originally thought was boring. The wwe is just like every England manager, same old people, same old tactics.

But the problem goes deeper than that Mike. You can't push talent that ultimately doesn't exist. In their current personas, Dolph & Jack aren't credible. The Miz isn't credible. Truth isn't credible. Barrett isn't credible. And wrestling is so close to falling into the ageism trap (majority of it's fans already have).
Young/Fresh doesn't equal better by default.
Look at it like this. When Liverpool lost Torres, instead of doing the smart thing and banking the money - they rushed to sign up Carroll for an outrageously inflated fee. In essence, tryin to fill a massive hole with a talent who didn't look like he belonged rather than standing back and evaluated the full picture. That's what pro-wrestling does when they push sub standard talent .... panic.

Hmm u have a point, the thing that is well and truly missing from the product is an abundance of charismatic characters. Apart from Lesnar and to some regards Cena not one other person (that includes Punk, who i think has fallen off the pipe bomb angle badly) nobody has the aura that can hold a crowd. Sad really

Agrred. And sadly, that's the one area pro-wrestling should be nailing, because it's the one element they can control the most. Sheer lazyness.
Btw, Cena's ability to hold a crowd has nothing to do with having a charismatic aura. His awful reputation outside of wrestling proves he holds no exceptional gravitional pull as a person, unlike The Rock for example. His mere presence in this persona is what the crowd are exactly responding too. Treating the WWE audience as children, an example which is more direct to the point than i'd like, he just happens to be the employee wearing the Barney suit.
