You must have IT. Titles are great but you have to be a total package. Yes you are correct in saying that it only happens over time. You don't walk in to RAW and become a main eventer.
Sheamus, on the other hand, was basically forced into the main event scene BUT, over time, I have come to consider him a top dog & a main event wrestler. WWE took a gamble on HHH's friend and luckily it paid off....Which is a good thing because the new crop is sorely missing the IT Main Event stars.
My hope for the next 2 years is Wade Barrett.

the term "IT" is kinda sketchy to me it's like saying "work rate" imo its such an abstract term.
I don't think this new gen is missing anything major just a bit more polish is needed. if i said the new generation (i.e. Miz, Morrison, Kofi, Ziggler etc) they all have everything but the great finisher. punk is the greatest example of this to me if punk kept using the anaconda vice he wouldn't have been able to get as over as well as he is with the GTS
