Reasons why WWE is in a slump...

Christ that's harsh. Asides from the fact that they came up with that character about a month before the company folded, I find it baffling that anyone could shoulder any blame on what was effectively a mid-card (at best) gimmick being played by a mid-card wrestler. Now whilst that sort of booking was as a whole part of the reason WCW died (I'd suggest more it being old guys refusing to give up their spot, Vince Russo jamming inane innuendo down our throats, the world title being treated like it was somewhere between a table and a steel chair in the important props list, lack of motivation), it's a bit unfair to say "one of the reasons WCW died was Shawn Stasiak".

Whilst I'm at it, I have a small problem with the creative camping piece. Now I agree entirely that they should be able to find something for everyone to do (except Steiner and Mack who can take a running jump for all I care), but you're asking for them to do some heavy stuff. Mack feuding over the IC title, Steiner feuding with Eugene - they've already got several guys doing that stuff already. Move them in and you have to move other people out and then you've got other (BETTER) guys on the "we've got nothing to do" roster. Personally I'd pair a number of them up, make them into a team, give their team a name to make it look like they're serious about them, and keep them together for a LONG time (not the obligatory three to six months we usually get) to spice up the tag division somewhat, which lord only knows needs spicing up.
