During a boom peroid (for example during the hulk hogan era and the late 90's) the midcarders should always become the next champions (if they are the tools).

Lets just say someone who hasnt watched wrestling since the attitude era sees a bit of wrestling on TV. They are going to see so many new people like Cena, Orton etc and they are just going to turn off. If they see someone they remembered they might tune in longer.

Ill use the attitude era for example. Back then people may have tuned in because of the staying power Austin and The Rock but then they also feel in love with people like Jericho, Kane, Benoit etc. When some of my friends ask me if I still watch wrestling and I say yes do you know what the first question they ask "Is Jericho still awesome"? Why not push wrestlers that people already care and know about instead of forcing them to care for someone else

In 2001 the wwe should have pushed jericho, kane, Benoit to the moon. And the we wouldnt have to had to put up with green wrestlers who dont know what they are doing.

I know wrestling isnt a sport but it does have similarities. I believe that in both that there athletes have periods in their career when they perform their best. For example in aussie football footballers usually play their best when there reach 22 or 23. I also believe that wrestlers put on their best work after being in the system for at least more than seven years. Look at 2005 and think to yourself who the best wrestlers for the wwe where. Who where the most entertaining? I would not say Bats, or Cena ( who rightfully are meant to be the most entertaining given they are the companies champions). I would say the most entertaining in 2005 where HBK, Angle and Eddie. Guys who have been in the wrestling business for years.
