WWE needs to stop losing interest in people in 6 months. If a noob don't hit megastar instantly anymore, WWE seems to treat them as if they're somehow a lost cause. Cena didn't become Cena overnight (neccessity at the time aside), The Rock didn't become The Rock overnight. Honestly, Hulkamania wasn't overnight. It took an investment in time from fans actually giving a shit about them- and part of that was because they were given a reason to in that time.

In both these things, TNA and WWE are kinda similar: impatience. They both want a quick fix for something that takes a lot more time than they seem to be willing to want to invest. For TNA, its their image as a company and for WWE it's that next crossover megastar.
I think if WWE doubles their rights fees (which they should considering they got hosed last time) and the Network takes off, it'll almost "creative-proof" the company where they can take time with guys rather than worry about the ratings and spiking them.
