John Morrison is not less valuable in the long term just because he was once released. He has as much if not more "untapped potential" than a guy like Jack Swagger who you could say has likely "peaked".

Agree with you on Morrison. No problems there.
My problem is with guys like Jeff Hardy and Shelton Benjamin, and it has to do with their age. Do we really want to be pushing guys in their late 30's as "the next generation of main-event talent?"
Like I said - I have no problem with guys like The Rock, Lesnar, Jericho, or even Angle fighting on a part-time basis, since they'd be used to put over the next generation. Outlaws and Goldust.........same thing.
The issue I have is bringing in older veteran talents and having them bury the newer guys.
Dave Batista for instance..................Why? Why is he a full-time main-eventer right now? It's not 2008 anymore.
