That's not the point though. I'm not saying that DB won't persevere through not being massively pushed and survive - I know he will because he's that good. The point is that WWE has an opportunity here, just like they've had SO MANY opportunities in the past to create new MAJOR stars.
Guys like Rock, Austin, Triple H, Undertaker, and Kurt Angle were simply elevated when the time was right. They were "given the ball" and pushed to the top and made into superstars. They were put into a place that they would never leave. They brought a "main event match" feel to every match they had because they were "made" by the WWE - they were given the attention and time that they needed to become megastars. And those are the guys who took the ball and ran with it. It wasn't a single match or a single moment - it was consistency. Numerous moments, numerous big matches. That's how you "make" a WWE superstar.
But, WWE doesn't "make" guys anymore. The last guys they made were Batista, Cena and Edge. And now all of their made guys are gone or leaving and WWE is looking at a roster with only one or two stars. If Lesnar and Rock weren't back and involved in the WWE, how shit would RAW and SD look right about now? And WWE knows this better than anyone - they fully recognize that they have a skinny roster and that all the big names are going out to pasture. But they don't seem to know how to fix it.
