If there was more movement between the brands tonight I would not be so irked by the Cena thing. Because of the bait and switch, we only had six draft picks tonight which is really kind of lame.

You know what I realized during this whole process though? How the WWE royalyl screwed their roster with WrestleMania season.

There are so few credible main eventers right now it's kind of scary. As some have said, Cody Rhodes right now is your #1 heel. And who can you elevate or move there? CM Punk? The Miz?

The organization HAD some stars that could have made a move or two that could have been moved into main event roles, but the WWE screwed the pooch.

The two I'm looking at are not surprisingly Wade Barrett and Sheamus.

These two guys were part of the main event scene in the WWE until they decided in the last minute to completely derail their momentum and progress so they could have Taker vs. HHH at WrestleMaina. Well that's just super.

While both guys are holding mid card belts, the two have been booked as jobbers since December. And to make it even better, HHH AND Taker are both off of TV while these two guys are jobbing it up.

Sheamus of six months ago could easily have gone to Smackdown and feuded with Christian, Orton and Kane. Today, he doesn't even seem close to that level. The same for Barrett. Six months ago, he's going over Cena at Survivor Series. Tonight he jobs to Mysterio in five minutes.

Then you get other wrestlers like Daniel Bryan and Drew McIntyre, two guys who has pretty much disappeared despite being very good wrestlers.

You also have a crop of guys like Kofi Kingston, R-Truth, John Morrison and Jack Swagger who they keep in a tweener role who are too big for a mid card belt, but not good enough to main event.

It seems they're trying to bring up Morrison and Truth now, but how about the other two? They could absolutely use Swagger right now to move up the ladder on Smackdown.

The WWE needs to repair the damage they did to their up and comers from December-April. If they can book as smartly as they did from late 09-10, then they might be ok. If not, well, then, I guess we can get excited for the same 8 guys feuding with each other until next year.
