Book myself as "the ultimatum", a shadowy corporate figure who has some influence over tony, maybe in kayfabe you could sell it as a shareholder or straight up Tony's dad wanting the ratings and profits to improve at any cost. Mix the kayfabe corporate heel shit and actual attempts to improve together
>Sell the lower amount of deathmatch tier shit in regular shows as the corpo shackling the wrestlers
>Move to reduce spotmonkey shit, you'll still have your spots but no obligation to go through each and every single one like it is right now. Sell this and the above point as keeping all the good stuff for PPVs just for the money like le evil capitalist
>cut promos on dead weights like [insert name here]. Sell it as just being mean to fatties like Kingston or gays, the fans, anything to build mega heat.
>Force dumb gimmicks on wrestlers, sell it as wanting to attract a wider audience or whatever. In reality it'll be to see who can actually adapt and turn their gimmicks into dimes and who can only be themselves as guy who really likes being here and wants to wrestle.
>Once a lot of contracts are close to expiring, unveil "The Decimation" PPV. In kayfabe it'll be wanting to cut wrestlers for the sake of saving a dollar, in reality it'll be because there's way too many of these dimeless fuckers and the crowd needs to give a shit about someone.
>Big tournament style structure where in kayfabe everyone's trying to either gain the favor of The Ultimatum or to urge Tony to step in and take back his company. In reality it'll be to see which of the wrestlers can actually work the crowd and draw a dime when their job's on the line. Anyone not making the cut gets a farewell in front of a PPV crowd and fucks off, anyone advancing gets to build the company going forward.
>Maybe end it as Tony going over me in the ring and selling it as him taking the company back while losing a lot of wrestlers
>go back to backstage and deal with a manageable roster now instead of everyone's friend
