Undertaker made it work when they told him to act like a fucking undead cowboy.

Eddie Guerrero made it work when they told him to act like a dumb Mexican-American who loved Chyna, took her to Prom, and got his GED all while trying to contain a sex-addiction and violent temper.

Triple H made it work when they told him to get thrown in pig-shit.

Its not the WWE's fault Randy Orton can't work a crowd and make them give a fuck. Its not WWE's fault when any of these guys can't do what they are told and make it work. Its not like "be a fan-favorite" is a hard gimmick.

Yes, and the WWE no longer gives people chances to run with the ball. They push people they want in the main event and to hell with anyone that gets genuine reactions from the crowd and gets themselves over...

Just ask... Mr. Kennedy, Carlito, Christian, Elijah Burke, and Rob Van Dam... All five of them were super over with those in the WWE and the WWE stunted their growth or just flat out released them. Christian is the worst example of this.

Christian was told to be a vampire... he made it work.

Christian was told to be the goofy sidekick of Edge... he made it work.

Christian was told to be one of the new kings of the ladder match... he made it work.

Christian was told to be a jealous bitch... he made it work.

Christian was told to be a Creepy Little Bastard... he made it work.

Christian was told to turn on Chris Jericho and be Trish Stratus' bitch... he made it work.

What'd Christian get for all his loyal service to the company? He got his feud with John Cena taken away from him and was sent to Smackdown where they didn't give him air time.

Christian has gotten over with the crowd time after time after time after time after time... And what has he gotten the ECW Championship? Fuck that. Christian is consistantly one of the most over members of the WWE and he's never gotten a legitimate shot at one of WWE's two major championships.

So you can't say the WWE pushes those that push themselves because that's bullshit. The WWE puts over who they want and has less than a passing intrest on whose over.
