Just a note, Mr. Kennedy would have been on that list too, but he was recently released, much to my chagrin.

Finally, Vince needs to get away from these gimmicky ideas he has.  His version of the Denver/Los Angeles series from the NBA was worthless.  Everyone knew who would win.  The same goes for this horrendous idea of "selling" Raw to Donald Trump.  These "gimmicky" ideas he gets are bad at their best. 

They don't draw in more fans, they don't captivate audience, and they are simply not enjoyable to watch.

Vince needs personalities to carry the WWE, and the ones he wishes would do it are failing miserably.  We've seen them time and time again.  We get it already.  Orton is going to kick people in the head, make retarded faces, and then repeat over and over again. 

Triple H is going to be his opponent again, spew water, probably win because he's the bosses son-in-law, and then that'll happen over and over again.  Batista will come back for three weeks, and then get injured again.  Edge will somehow sneak in at the last second and somehow win. 

Big Show will come in and punch someone and it'll somehow be hard enough to render them unconscious.  And lastly, John Cena will come out, salute, be cheered by half the crowd, and jeered by the other half.

Vince, we get it already!  Quit forcing the same thing down our throats time and time again.  Give us entertainment.  Give us "Attitude." 

Quit pandering to the "youngins" that you think are the main demographic.  Cater to everyone.  Have some of the "kiddy" stuff, and then balance it out with some of the edgier stuff, and everyone will, at least, be a little more content with it, instead of absolutely bored. 

Just know, if the best thing you have going is Santino Marella and his tranny sister, you need to seriously, and I emphasize SERIOUSLY, reevaluate your product.
