That's very true what you said, KK. Idealistically, you push guys that have the fans invested in them enough to support the direction. I mean, as much as I enjoyed Snitsky as a comedic act at times, no one is taking him seriously as the WWE currently has him packaged. Even if he ended The Undertaker's streak and was the guy to retire Ric Flair, I doubt people would care.

Part of me thinks that the WWE has forgotten how to push someone. Jeff Hardy is getting a really effective push at the moment (I'm almost angry that his push has been so good, actually, considering I personally don't think Hardy deserves it in respect to other performers), and Batista's road to WrestleMania in 2005 was great. Before then, it would have been just pulling the trigger with Chris Benoit and letting him win the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania.

And it really pisses me off that Vince didn't run with Matt Hardy and Christian. As you said, just for the novelty. If it didn't catch on, it's not like it'd be a failure on scale with the XFL, and if it succeeded, then Vince would have had two potential money makers on his hands. Sometimes I think that Vince hates money.
