I kinda agree, but the problem is most of these guys don't make it to the main event for weird/unknown reasons.

Let's consider Shelton Benjamin and Bobby Lashley. Both pretty much suck on the mic. Shelton's promos can interest me, but he's not Chris Jericho.

Both can wrestle. However, Lashley is by far nowhere near the in-ring level of a guy like Benjamin.

So, how do you prepare these guys for main event status? Groom them in the mid-card.

Shelton came to Raw and instantly scored two victories over Triple H. He won the Intercontinental title and ran with it. He had some great matches with Christian, Maven, Chris Jericho and Carlito.. Through out each fued he put on excellent matches. And was always over and receiving loud pops. And let's not forget his matches with people like Shawn Michaels, Rob Van Dam and Kurt Angle.

Lashely came to Smackdown and won the US title. He was in some mediocre fueds which not many people cared about, with the likes of King Booker, Finley and JBL. Although some good matches were produced, it was obvious he was being carried, and wasn't really over enough to be a main eventer just yet.

So who goes to the main event? Bobby Lashley.

Although I agree that not every good person should be a main eventer, it's more a case of, deserving, and ready, people are being knocked down.

Ask yourself, what would you rather see at the Great American Bash? Lashley VS Cena, or Benjamin VS Cena? Anyone who says Lashley VS Cena are only gonna complain afterwards that he was given the title too soon and isn't ready for it. People like Shelton Benjamin, Charlie Haas and Carlito (my 3 faves anyway) have proven time and time again that if given a main event spot they could run with it.
