The WWE may have a solution to there tv shows right under there nose

What I mean is this. I have linked an article here: http://www.wrestlezone.com/news/259667-report-triple-h-expected-to-push-more-tag-team-a-less-divas-wrestling
saying that Triple H is going to push tag team wrestling and phase out the divas. Thats very good for the people, like myself, who grew up on tag team wrestling. The Midnight Express, The Road Warriors, The Hart Foundation etc., you know the rest. Lets face it, tag team wrestling, at least in WWE has gone downhill for the past 6, 7 years. Now, Im a fan of the Divas but the days of Trish Stratus, Lita, Molly Holly, Jacqueline and Mickie James are over.

My point is with Raw going to 3 hrs. and new show on Saturday morning and a show on Wednesdays on ION, maybe the WWE, with there thin roster, has made it work. If you focus on tag teams, divas and yes, cruiserweights, you can pretty much make a show out of these divisions. Or you can have one divison on each show, kind of like when the brand extension started when you had crusierweights exclusive to Smackdown and the divas exclusive to Raw.  Superstars would feature the tag team titles and the divas title and WWE Main Event could have the cruiserweight title. For example, Superstars could have The PrimeTime Players vs. The Usos vs. Kofi/R-Truth and Beth Phoenix vs. Layla. If done right, with interviews and focus and match time theres your Superstars show for one week.
The WWE Main Event show could be your Tyson Kidd vs. Heath Slater for the crusierweight title and maybe have an exclusive interview from Raw or Superstars. What about a number 1 contenders match between Cody Rhodes vs. Sin Cara? Theres your WWE Main Event show.
The Saturday Morning Show, Saturday Morning Slam or whatever its called would be the guys that are left. You hate to be like that but its true. Probably Santino vs. Drew McIntryre, Alex Riley vs. Tensai and theres your Saturday Morning show.

Imagine on WWE Superstars you have a reginited tag team division and divas division? That can work. Your ION show would include your recaps, of course, and maybe the crusierweights. How about Tyson Kidd vs. Justin Gabriel for the cruiserweight title for 12 to 15 minutes? You wouldnt watch that? I would. And your Saturday show, which will be your kiddie show, would have everybody whos not on the other shows. The whole point of this is that at least you'll have direction. If you get the fans to care about the title, then your halfway home. Example. Look at the US Title. I like Santino as much as the next guy but the belt has become a prop. Antonio Cesaro vs. Santino for the US strap isnt that appealing. BUT, you have Cesaro vs. Christian, the interest of the US Title goes up. Maybe its not flashy or will headline a PPV but Cesaro vs. Christian for 15 mins. on Superstars or WWE Main Event(ION show) would put eyeballs to the set if done right.


I mean if your going PG and you have to emphasize something. And lets face it, its either wrestling or 3 hrs. of Hornswoggle.
