The thing is, they could certainly MAKE main eventers with their star power.

I've advocated the idea of turning Heat/Velocity into sort of a farm league show for a while now, and I think it could work, as long as they develop storylines and the like. Heck, you could even riff off the whole "reality" craze, and have competitions for tickets to the "big leagues."

The only problem is it would require effort, just as main eventers on a C show would.

Just to elaborate on this a little.

This is what I said long ago. They certainly can create big stars, if there was a desire to do so. Vince keeps looking for a quick-fix solution, like during the 80's, when it only took a small push for Hogan to become a big star. That isn't going to happen, and apparently he's not committed to giving anything or anyone a chance to work.

Don't mistake this as me being a fan of the guy, but, they bring in Mordecai, hype him up with promos, and then just as quickly as he debuts and gets TV time - he disappears. They don't even give him a chance to get over, before nixing the idea, and then they find flaws in him because they didn't think ahead at all when bringing him up to TV.

They did the same thing with Gail Kim. They sign her, bring her basically right up to RAW, put the Title on her right away, and then she disappears and is fired / realeased. They then later complain that she was / is green. Nice time to think about it after you sign her and give her a big ass push. There is a total lack of committment and direction within the company - and that is the main problem.

A lot of people have said this for a long time. The lack of foresight is stunning. To decide someone's too green AFTER pushing him like this is not only ineffective, but counterproductive.

Mordecai should have been thought about before pushing him. This is pretty common.

i see that they are slowly starting to do this (sorta)
I mean, basically the entire CW storyline takes place on velocity, and much of the women's title stuff does too (altho not the christy/trish stuff).
