The top 45 ways I would make the WWE even better than it already is

Several weeks ago, Wrestlemania 25 was looking bad - perhaps historically bad. Even though no matches had been announced, you didn‘t need a Ouija board to guess where the storylines were headed. Randy Orton won the Royal Rumble and earned the right to challenge for the world championship at Wrestlemania. That made sense on the surface. Randy Orton is the most hated villain in wrestling. He inspires such an instinctively hateful reaction in fans that their eyes narrow and their jaws tighten every time he opens his mouth He could make a donation to a food bank and people would boo.

Classic wrestling logic says Cena should fight Orton in the main event of Wrestlemania.

February has never exactly been the most celebratory time of the year. Other months have Christmas or Thanksgiving but Valentine‘s Day is an occasion a lot of us don‘t even want to remember.

WWE Raw, which currently airs on the USA cable network, has been a TV staple for more than a decade.  It averages more than 5 million viewers a week and is the number 1 weekly program on cable TV.  Yesterday, the program, which combines elements of action, soap opera drama and rock music, celebrated its 800th episode milestone with a three-hour special live broadcast in Tampa, Florida.  Such longevity is perceived as validation of the durability of the show‘s format, according to Vince McMahon, chairman of the board of directors of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), and WWE‘s majority shareholder.

The line between wrestling and show business isn‘t thin, it‘s completely non-existent.  Wrestlers like The Rock and John Cena have crossed over into movies, while celebrities like David Arquette and Kevin Federline have promoted themselves shamelessly on wrestling programs.  The only real difference between the WWE and Hollywood is that only one requires an abundance of body-slamming and spandex.

 WWE RAW is a sports show with underlying tones of drama. The appeal of the show comes from the rush of the wrestling competition mixed with the drama and disputes of the wrestlers.
