I agree but another problem is, there's only 3 true main eventers. Cena, Punk, and Orton. Ryback and sheamus has an upper mid cars feel to them. Golddust is by far underrate in the ring and on the mic

Completely Vince and creative's fault. No reason to have this much talent on the roster (ESPECIALLY with DBry) and be in the situation they're in. ANYBODY can be pushed to the main event scene and it can work for at least a short period of time. Technically, Miz headlined a fukking WM main event.

I agree. To be honest mix was really on a roll leading up to him cashing in his mitb. After that I don't know what happen

I'm not putting Truth's wasted potential just on WWE. Wrestling in general hasn't made the most of what R-Truth had.


Right now he's too old for us to be talking about the potential he has.

Truth is a decent worker, a very underrated talker, and he has a similar "IT" factor to Jeff Hardy. The problem is all them old ass white men in the back didn't know how to properly market and utilize him.

It's all right, brehs.

They're about to turn Kofi heel, so they'll turn R-Truth heel too and we can get a new Nation of Domination. :blessed:

That gets fed to Ryback and Sheamus every week. :to:

The problem is that we don't even need to see all of these guys as main eventers, but they need some personality and something to do.

Golddust was one of the funniest and entertaining dudes of all time (in/out of the ring) and he rarely even sniffed the main event scene.

Yeah, exactly. We can't have everyone in the main event scene but atleast this creative team can do is make the mid card interesting and give these guys decent story-lines.

shyt, All the midcard champs lose week in and week out.

There was an interview with Russo some years ago where he stated they wrote the show and wrote for almost every guy on the roster and tried to give something for everyone. Start and advance storylines for everyone. I def. dont get that feeling now, these nikkas are just throwing out bullshyt.

ha. now that I think about it....

R-Truth and Miz had WWE so scared at one point that the entire company walked out in fear of their personal safety.

The Shield lurks in the shadows and bum rushes they asses 4 times a week? No fukks Given.

WWE stay fukkin up storylines... i'm still pissed off at the whole punk vs nash storyline.

It seems there is no point working hard to get yourself over... it's you vs creative e.g. Zack Ryder.

The truth is all they care about is the main event talent. They are seriously afraid of doing any interesting story line for midcard that will outshine main event. With the talent they have there is no reason they cant have strong midcard and tag feuds. Anytime a midcard guy or storyline catches some steam shyt goes straight to the bushes.

Zach Ryder was a perfect example. How about A-Ry outshining the miz, looking like he was about to get some title shot, then not seen until kane threw his ass over a table in the locker room.

Truth is definitely underutilized. He can be an edgy heel or pure babyface getting over without mic time and can go in the ring. His runs in both companies showed this.

He could've had a better run as a crazy/unpredictable heel rather than the goofy one they made him, his heel turn on Morrison/blowing smoke in his face was a classic Raw moment.

Everyone's right about the midcard. Idk if it's fear about outshining the main event, but they don't put their midcarders in any kind of memorable angles or let them do anything interesting.

shyt could be said about a lot of people. It wouldn't be so bad if they wouldn't tease us with that "unlocked potential" shyt, only to have it drowned out by a new Cena, Sheamus or HHH moment.

R-Truth

Kofi turning aggressive as hell prior to Elimination Chamber last year, I think it was?

R-Truth and Miz almost being what the Shield is now

Ziggler without Vicki

DBRY (Vince keeps flushing, but Dazzler won't go down)

Broadus was tweaked and tweaked until he broke

#ItsNotSupposedToBeGood , but come on. It's like watching them plot "Springtime For Hitler" in The Producers.

I know. Kofi was so close and they let orton flush his push :whoo:

Probably the most jarring burial of the PG era.

Kofi was crazy over and fans wanted to see him get more shine, but after Orton's tantrum he just got jobbed out in the worst way. Kofi took some crazy beatings during that period (especially in those elimination chamber matches).
