I don't have an issue with the Foley/HBK/Austin bit with LON. Mainly because outside of Barrett (who's apparently leaving soon) Rusev, Alberto and Sheamus all have the combined charisma of wet towels. Sure, they're all solid hands in the ring, but for as long as they've been around, none of them (outside of MAYBE Barret) have even a hint of future main eventer in them.

Nobody said that any of them need to be main eventers, but it's the same reminder every single time, that todays superstars are inferior to those of the past. None of them will ever really achieve anything if they're constantly bitched out to old, out-of-shape fat guys (and HBK).

I don't have as much of an issue with the Austin/HBK/Foley bit because I don't think the LON guys are or ever will be on the same level as Austin/HBK/Foley.

To me, Rock (and I'm not sure if it's his decision or Vince's necessarily) never really works long term with young guys to put them over anymore. If Rock or Vince think that just being in a segment with him is enough to get that person over, they're mistaken. If he comes back and does what he did tonight with someone like Bray, and it leads to something more substantial, like Bray going over Rock in a match, that'd be a different story, obviously.

Absolutely! Bray wouldn't even need to win the match! The program itself will give him exposure and hopefully elevate him.

If Bray had come out tonight and beat down Rock during his segment and then that led to a feud/match down the line where Rock went over after a hard fought match, or vice versa, that would be/would've been great.

Judging by the past, I don't think and have never heard or got the impression that The Rock has a problem putting young guys over either. I honestly think it's more Rock doing what Vince/creative wants him to do and as long as it's not something ridiculous and he's getting paid and contributing, he just does his job.
