	Okay, now I know that many of you expected this to be a statement about how shitty Vince McMahon is or who they should get rid of.  This is a simple 
list of who I think the WWF should try to add to their wrestling line-up or who
they should pair together.  The qualifications for this are that the wrestlers 
that they should bring in must be somewhat accessable and not already have 
squabbles with the WWF (I would love to see Arn Anderson come to the WWF, but itwon't happen in this lifetime).  Please feel free to comment and add or subtractany of these if they are completely impossible.  These are what the WWF should 
try to do between now and lets say May of 1993.

1. Bring in the Midnight Express w/ Jim Cornette: Let's face it the WWF needs a strong tag-team who has a real manager (not the Genius or Wippleman)
that is not simply steroid freaks.  The Midnight Express would fill that gap 
nicely especially since Bobby Eaton's contract is not going to be renewed.  
(BTW yes I do know that Jim Cornette is currently involved in some partnership 
with another Federation, but I can dream can't I)  This is possible if Vince 
would put the real money on the table.

2. Bring in Paul E. Dangerously as a manager talent: Probably one of the 
biggest problems in the WWF is that they have no managers who you love to hate.
I mean just look at the top managers today and you see only two in the WWF that
anyone even cares about (not including Mr. Perfect because he is really a 
wrestler): Jimmy Hart and Sensational Sherri (I include Sherri only because she
does the job of a manager quite well in the WWF).  Also if Paul comes in give 
him a stable with some good talent (giving him Razor and the Beverlies would 
not be a bad idea).  BTW, in this catagory I mostly mean heel managers but
Paul (Percy) Bearer and Paul Ellering are sort of dumb these days as well.

3. Form a tag team of "The Rocket Owen Hart" and the Comet Kid: Okay, this is
a more feasable idea for Vince.  First off Owen  Hart and Paul Diamond have 
rather similar wrestling styles and each is a name in their own right, and they
are both sort of respected.  Also the names go together rather well-- Comet &
Rocket.

4. The Steiner Brothers: Yes, yes, we have heard this before, but the Steiners
could finally be the steal from WCW that Vince has been looking for (Strike One:Sid Justice, Strike Two: Legion of Doom (Hell I think the Colossal Connection
held the tag belts for longer than LOD), Strike Three: Razor?)  The Steiners
are a great team as North American Wrestling goes, and remember most people 
have not only not seen any Japanese or Mexican wrestling but also people who
watch WWF wrestling probably do not know who the Steiners are.  

5. Give Nature Boy Ric Flair a Face run: This is mostly because I want to hear
80,000 people go WHOOOOOOOOOO!

6. Bring in some smaller Wrestlers who would be good I-C Champions:  This is 
very unspecific but the WWF has very few candidates for the I-C belt save
Sean Michaels and Tatanka (oh God what a dreadful thought!).  Bring in some
people such as Steve Austin, Brian Pillman, or even Marcus Bagwell.  This is
a request I would like but seems perhaps the most unlikely of all.

7. Finally show Hogan vs. Flair in a good PPV main event that has no belt on
the line, no screw job (I mean a run-in really-->some managerial interference
is waranted) that lasts at least 45 minutes (do something similar to Warrior 
vs Hogan at WMVI--> something respectful to both men that either could win at
some point in time).  If this is done correctly and with respect, I could stand even Hogan beating Flair.

These are my opinions, all of which are so incredibly unlikely but still 
feasable.  I wish Vince would at least do one of these.  Not that the WWF
would ever get much better because of this, but it might help a bit.  

(I am also going to attempt to do one for WCW, but I have to think some more)

Hasta la Vista Little Buddy!
