I kind of disagree with people who think sticking Morrison and Ziggler with Snookie was a bad thing for them. You have to remember why the WWE put Snookie in a match at Mania in the first place: media exposure. This is why the match was late in the show instead of curtain jerking, and why Snookie got the pin fall (a perfect image to slap all over websites and magazines). Sure, most of the actual WWE fans could care less about that match, but its the one that would catch the eye of the main stream more than any other match on the card. A non-wrestling fan probably couldn't care less about HHH-Taker, but a match with Snookie in it would get their attention. Sad, but true. That being said, the WWE wouldn't just stick filler talent in the match that would get the most main stream exposure of the entire event. They would obviously want to put people in there that would do something with the exposure. So you have LayCool, arguably the best heel divas on the roster, Trish Stratus who was there to draw attention to Tough Enough, and Morrison and Ziggler who are likely the future of the business. I don't think it's a slight against them at all. More like, hey this match is going to get a lot of attention so give em something to talk about.
