(Discussion) - WWE's selections

**Rock Bottom** · 01-31-2004, 04:04 AM

Someone brought up a good point in the post I was reading, I believe it was something along the lines of, "The WWE just randomly picks someone, gives them overnight training and says, 'You're a superstar now.'" This is an interesting point and I thought to get the opinions of people on a couple things regarding it.

Let's start with Brock Lesnar... Now before I even say anything, don't get me wrong... I'm not saying Brock can't do the job, he's a good heel imo and I think pushing him was the right thing to do.

If I recall correctly, Brock was Heyman's masterpiece, that he swore to everyone would tear the WWE a new asshole. And he really did. I remember this specifically, because I am clearly a hardcore Rock fan. Brock started whipping up on everyone, and then entered the King of the Ring and knocked the piss out of people. Then the dread struck me! He was gonna beat The Rock and get the belt. And of course, he did. I was crying like a little girl, man. Even though The Rock had hit a #7 title reign, I was happy about that, I was distracted with "Damnit, The Rock is gone again." But I didn't realize just how fast Brock got up there. I have no idea what he did before WWE or anything but I'd never seen him on TV before he was with Heyman.

Now all the sudden, every 5 minutes I do find myself going, who the hell is this guy, who the hell are these guys, and things like that.

When there are guys that I've seen on TV for an ass amount of time that really don't ever go anywhere... Now, while this is nothing new to most people, I just wanted some opinions, or some more examples... Maybe some info on guys like The Bashams, Batista, John Cena, Brock Lesnar, people like that. Of course, I will reiterate, I'm not saying people aren't talented or that I don't like them, or what's being done with them, but it just seems wrong for all you Jericho, RVD, fans etc. Is it in the gimmicks? Is it purely experimental to see how much they draw? Is it because they know what to expect from guys like Jericho or RVD?
