Why does everyone who is considered "Good" need to be in the main event?

Seriously? I'm always seeing "Shelton NEEDS to be in the main event" and "Val Venis SHOULD have main evented" (just examples) and it seems that people think that everyone who is worth a damn should be main eventers.

Not all of them NEED to be considered main eventers, and not all of them ever will. Sure, most of these guys could/should be used in main event runs during off (non-big Four) months, but at this point I think it's more important to fill the mid/upper-midcard with strong talent (obviously referring to WWE here).

The WWE has a fairly strong (granted there are some holes) main event scene. Booker, Cena, Michaels, Hunter, Batista, Edge, etc, and guys like Kennedy and Punk who are just starting their push to the top. I say it's time to focus to the midcard. Make the IC and US titles mean something.

Put them in the main event slot of RAW/SmackDown!. Put more time and emphases into developing the characters and storylines. Some of the guys may break out and become too big for the midcard, and that's when they should move up, but a lot of the guys, like Shelton, Carlito, Regal and Matt Hardy, while great talents, are better suited in the mid/upper midcard than in a permanent place at the top.

Like I said, these guys don't HAVE to stay out of the main event, they can get big feuds between big PPVs and maybe even hold a world title for a time, but once they come down from that it should only add more to their solid status in the midcard, not hurt what they were.

Pretty much what I'm saying is that not everyone will nor should be in a top spot and that the WWE has to make the midcard worth a shit instead of making it filler compared to the main event. And don't take that the wrong way, obviously the main event needs to be pushed the hardest, but it doesn't need to take up most of the show. Two, maybe three segments at most, not 4 main event caliber matches, two main event promos and three main event segments/skits with a midcard match and maybe a promo as filler.

Discuss/whatever.
