I already don't like you...


They wouldn't need more stars either. Look at all the wrestler's on both rosters who don't get TV time at all. There are so many of them. Takes those and put them on the C show. It's that simple. It would make more of the roster look somewhat credible.

By stars I mean main eventers. Every roster needs a few, and there are barely enough (if there are enough) to keep two rosters credible. And look at things that are happening: Orton got pushed way too early. Batista got pushed a little too fast. Cena got pushed too fast. WWE is forced, by the split, to work too hard at making new stars. There's no reason those three guys can't wait a year.

Oh, and somebody give Edge a pat on the back for his efforts at pretending to be a main eventer. Pat him on the back and send him back to the midcard.

Everybody harps on HHH for holding the belt too much. Funny, before that the complaint I kept reading was that the belt was tossed around too much and meant nothing because of it.

There are no main event material guys not being used right now. Try and name one.

Bullshit.

There's a ton of star power in the WWE, and all they really need is a place where they're not squashed in order to shine.

Very few of them are ready for the main event. You could say Cena, Orton, and Batista are, but even thats a little bit of a stretch. No reason why they can't wait.

Benoit and Guerrero had nice runs just last year.

Jericho needs time to be built back up.

Undertaker and Flair will be retired soon enough.

Who's left... oh yeah, HHH.

If you can only claim@ six people i nthe business, you need to lay off the drugs. They're frying your brian.

Make it 7. I did forget Kurt Angle.

They are about the only guys ready for the title picture (and not needing retirement).

Edge? The fact that he's heading there makes me wanna puke. He's great, but one of those guys who are inherently midcard. Great IC champ.

Ditto for Christian.

Big Show? If he so much as touches the strap on TV again, I just might be done with WWE.

Shawn Michaels? I mark for the guy. Still great in the ring. Should be putting guys over now. Besides, with Jannetty back in the fold, I want the Rockers back for a short term run to help the poor tag division.

Name one:

OK:
Raw: HHH, Chris Jericho, Chris Benoit, Kane, HBK, Batista (these are all bone-fide Main Eventers). Then you throw in Edge, Christian, possibly Shelton B.

S'Down!: JBL, Angle, Cena, Taker, Rey Mysterio, Eddie Guerrero and possibly guys like Charlie Haas, Chavo Guerrero, Booker T, RVD, Rene Dupree.


There are heaps of talent which could main event if given the opportunity.

People have always said WWE is a male soap opera. I just think that went to Vince’s head and he decided soap opera writers were the way to go. However, how many wrestling fans watch “Days of Our Lives” and other soap opera shows.

Nobody gives a crap about wrestlers who are bodybuilders that come out and flex their muscles except for HHH and Vince. Twelve year olds laugh at that. How in the world do they expect 20-somethings to find that interesting?

SD has become too cartoonish. As a friend of mind pointed out, does everyone have to drive to the ring?

They are writing a show that appeals to them and not to the target audience. WWE probably has the best roster they have ever had in terms of in-ring ability; however, they really need to work on character and storyline development.

Hiring a bunch of T&A isn’t even a short-term fix. There are way too many other outlets for T&A. WWE isn’t doing anything innovative or different by having girls in bikinis on their programming. People who are watching WWE have cable, which means there are many more channels that show a lot more than WWE does in terms of nudity.

What could help WWE? For starters, listen to the fans and try to shoot for a balance of what people want.
