But now it is on one or two people, and that point is well taken. A promotion booked around one or two people will always suck, even if it's Jesus and Bret. And yes, folks, Jesus did screw Bret.
While I agree with this, in part, the undercard was definitely done a lot better than what the WWE does with it today. It's all main event, main event, main event these days, and that's not enough to carry a company.

Also, looking at the current Champions of all three brands, I think CM Punk and Batista are fine in their current roles. CM Punk has a bright future with the company, and Batista, like him or not, is pretty fucking over. Compared to everyone else in SmackDown!'s main event scene, I am happiest with him as World Heavyweight Champion. His match with The Undertaker in Hell in a Cell at Survivor Series might end up being a career performance, but unfortunately he and Taker will probably both walk out of the match with injuries, and we'll need Edge to pick up the slack, again.

The company does need to start looking at rotating some of the older product out for the newer product. Not all of the newer product is good, though. Randy Orton is incredibly boring as WWE Champion, no matter what Tovo says. The WWE Title has spent so much time on guys who are really quite bland (Cena, Orton), that I think they need to go with someone like Shawn Michaels as WWE Champion, at least for a bit, just to restore some credibility to the belt, and then move it onto another young heel act. The face that dethrones Orton will probably be Chris Jericho, and I am completely fine with that.

On SmackDown!, Batista is fine, but he shouldn't be the World Heavyweight Champion for too much longer. Edge, as injury prone as he has proven to be, should win the belt back, and then the company should start building MVP and Matt Hardy up. Believe it or not, I think Edge vs. Matt Hardy might be the best thing for SmackDown! right now.
