10 Wrestling Returns That Would Improve WWE TV

1. Mick Foley

This is the best idea. Here’s why.

As it turns out, we have The Authority because USA Network loves Hunter, Steph and the idea of evil company bosses. However, neither Hunter nor Steph is really any good at adding levity to their performance, which unfortunately leaves Raw feeling a bit dry.

Things you should want to see include the possibility of Triple H being injured by Brock Lesnar on the Raw after Lesnar wins the WWE Championship at SummerSlam. This forces Vince McMahon to appear and name an “interim commissioner,” and the name that he mentions is Mick Foley. Vince says that Raw should be unpredictable and FUN, and that if there’s anything he knows that Foley can do, it’s do both of those things.

Foley says that he’s a family man now, but that he’ll only come back if he’s able to bring back himself, as well as members of his family. This gets Stephanie angry as she’s like, “What? Your wife and kids? Nobody wants to see your wife and kids?” Enter into the room Mick’s quite attractive daughter and sometime WWE employee Noelle. The roar of approval from the crowd would of course prove otherwise.

Stephanie and Mick (plus Mick’s assistant and daughter Noelle) interacting would make for fun TV. Foley having established relationships with the likes of Kevin Owens and Dean Ambrose would make for good TV, and Foley’s a great enough performer still respected enough by three generations of wrestling fans and mainstream eyes that he could be a key difference maker in creating a more cohesive and entertaining product.

Freshening up Mick’s presentation by adding in Noelle would be intriguing too, as she’s knowledgeable about the product and more than likely wanting to pursue a career in the industry, too. Having another top diva under the age of 25 wouldn’t hurt too, as WWE should be a blend of legends and kids combining for a diverse and engaging presentation.
