This problem in the WWE has been around for many years (i.e. since 2001!).

One of the WWE's biggest problem, much like WCW's, is that they continuously push '6's' that they think are '5's (i.e. Triple H, JBL, etc.).

Furthermore - an almost equal dispersion of the "5's" and "6's" amongst both shows actually HURTS the WWE more than helping it (as surprising as that may sound)

That quote right there is very important. The problem with the current set-up, is that the 4's get screwed the most...due to lack of TV time (which is instrumental in getting them to that '5' spot) and the fact that there aren't enough 4's going up against one another which elevates both men (i.e. think back to Jericho/Benoit/ back in 2000).

As it stands right now, the "3's" AND the "4's" are getting beaten one too many times by the "6's" and "5's." If it were up to me, only the "3's" would be doing THAT many jobs.

For example - I don't mind if a guy Kane defeats a guy like Kofi Kingston right now....since Kofi isn't anywhere close to being a main-eventer.

What I DO have a problem with however, is when a guy like Undertaker squashes MVP......or if Chris Jericho beats a guy like CM Punk in less than 5 minutes....or if Vladimir Kozlov decimates Jeff Hardy.

I also have a problem if guys like CM Punk, Santino Marella, MVP, Jeff Hardy, Matt Hardy, and Christian aren't being given an appropriate amount of air time....due to the presence of guys like Undertaker, JBL, Vladimir Kozlov, etc.

That is one of the main reasons why I'd like to see RAW be stacked with guys in the '4' and '5' categories.

  • 6's don't take away the 4's air time
  • 4's get over by feuding with other 4's, and random matches with '5's...and the odd interpromotional match with the 6's.
  • We never have to see 2's on RAW or Smackdown ever again
  • 6's can dominate/sexually assault all the 3's they want...without doing that to the 4's too many times. I have no problem with a '6' defeating a '4' (i.e. end justifying the means....i.e. a 4 ultimately going over) as long as its done sparingly....which isn't the case right now.
