I disagree.

WWE seem to be taking their time in grooming the stars of tomorrow. CM Punk, Jeff Hardy, MVP, John Morrison, Matt Hardy and Christian aren't going anywhere anytime soon, so why not take your time? Their time will come.
Since 2005 - Almost the same set of guys have been on top.

In the past, guys were in the business for 10+ years before they got the main event push and since there is only one company now, it wouldn't make much sense (business wise) to not push guys like HHH and Cena.
The past is irrelevant. I don't think I need to remind you as to how the ratings were in the WWE before Austin 3:16 hit.


Quote:
WWE is right in not pushing guys until they're absolutely ready, I mean, we don't want another Bobby Lashley like push.
True but you can't tell me that a guy like Jeff Hardy hasn't demonstrated his loyalty.

Quote:
Also, Raw has always been the flagship show, so why in God's name wouldn't you want your most established stars on it? Raw has always been the A show, so there isn't much sense in changing it now.
Perhaps I didn't make myself clear. I DO want the top stars on RAW. However - I do not want stars that are peaked and/or past their prime.

My top 5 guys for RAW: Cena, Orton, Edge, Jeff Hardy, CM Punk, MVP
My top 5 guys for Smackdown: Triple H, Batista, Undertaker, Jericho, Big show


Quote:
ECW is great. I don't know why you would want to change it. Exciting new stars that are getting their chance to show what they can do and prove that they can one day shine on Raw or Smackdown.
Agreed but there's also a danger of putting too many decent guys on ECW....especially when you consider the fact that almost no one watches ECW. At some point - you have to realize that too much depth on ECW hurts RAW/Smackdown far more than helping ECW (again - since almost no one watches ECW).

I see what you're saying, but it just doesn't make much sense to me.
It makes sense to me that the WWE should be doing whatever they can to create an atmosphere where new stars can be elevated to the main-events....PERMANENTLY....and not be seen as transitional champs. In the current environment, this seems almost impossible (last 4 years have been a reflection of that).


Sorry - my responses here are a bit half assed but I'm feeling lazy.
