You've got a good point.

Well, sorta. I can sum it up in about 8 words. There is no fixed formula for pushing superstars.

Let me ellaborate a little. You can say that Taker got his title shot that early, and he was pushed, but Orton isn't the Undertaker. If one size fit all for wrestlers, why was there a huge slump before the attitude era? Why hasn't there been another Rock, Hogan, etc.?

Not every person can play out every scenario equally. People were complaining about Orton being overpushed. I doubt you would have heard the same thing about Taker. It worked for him. The fans ate it up. With Orton, they were nearly put off him entirely for a while there.
