How can WWE stop the bleeding? By taking these 10 steps

#10 Remove Vince McMahon from power

As these past few months have shown, Vince is hopelessly out of touch. He needs to go. And he needs to go now.

In everything from his chaotic style to his excessive micromanagement, he is making the company suffer. He is the major obstacle to the improvements the company desperately needs.

These days, there seems to be one thing, and one thing only, in WWE that stays consistent - the closer Vince McMahon is to something, the worse it is. This week's Raw had Vince McMahon's fingerprints all over it, more so than usual. In contrast, NXT has thrived without his presence.

There comes a time when even the best have the world pass them by. It's hard to remain innovative when things have worked so well over many years, but continued innovation is crucial to ensure that you're keeping up with changes in the world. Instead, Vince McMahon has rested on his laurels for 20 years. Each episode of Raw and SmackDown has felt more or less the same for years, and how many times have we heard stories about Vince McMahon not "getting" somebody that was easy enough for the rest of the public to understand?

For the sake of his company, it's time for Vince McMahon to step aside. New leadership is needed to institute needed changes. Shuffling a few people around with a "wild card" rule isn't going to solve the problems plaguing the company. If that was really his best shot, he needs to step aside in favor of someone who can make a better one.
