All those guys under 35 and most of them ain't shyt or worth watching.
So I'm looking at the WWE Roster

And most of that is their own doing, which is crazy to me. Will never truly understand how they don't want stars.

You know I just randomly looked at the Survivor Series 2012 card and the turnover in the last five years has been immense. I only counted 12 guys who are still full-time on the roster. What that tells me is despite the majority of the roster being under 35, most of them won't even be full-time wrestlers by 2021.
Flair could wrestle circles around DK tho lol"the only guys over 35 are...."
*Proceeds to list thirty names*
The reason why guys like Hunter still wrestle is because people still remember him. He has charisma. Ask Bret Hart and he'll tell you Hunter is trash in the ring. Hes right. But here we are 20 something years later and hes still relevant. And speaking of old guys, imagine the power Batista would have if he returned now that he is a movie star. Its not about how good your matches are, its all about your star power. Theres a reason why there's a 30 for 30 on Ric Flair on ESPN and not on the Dynamite Kid.
From that entire jumbo list of guys under 35 theres only a handful that I think are entertaining or have personality.

I thought about that before making this thread but forgot to mention it that of course not everyone will be on the roster years from now but a majority of them will be.
But I look at that card
There are variables that prevent guys from being on the roster that long
career ending injuries: Daniel Bryan "Will wrestle soon though", Tyson Kidd, and Santino
People being let go that no one cares about so WWE will never bring them back and they are not popping on the indys: Damien Sandow, brodus clay, Justin Gabriel, Darren Young
Guys who were frustrated with the company in some form so they walked out: Punk, Ryback, Del Rio, Wade
but I did the math more than half that card is still involved with the WWE somehow and that was literally 5 years ago.
Then you throw in the variables of people going to perfect their craft and come back
Then they are still gonna sign some younger talent from either the ones they develop or the ones they steal from other promotions
Then of course you got the kenny omegas who could one day come to wwe if he came by 2021 he'd be 38 meanwhile aj killing it at 40.
my point is basically I doubt a majority of the roster under 35 will be going anywhere considering wwe has raw/sd/nxt/205/uk.
fun fact: i was at that ppv
The biz is trash and all you are doing is making excuses for the indie darlings being awful. You call guys over because the few fans left like him. "Wow he was so over at Raw," even though Raw lately has been tarping off half the arena. If you are over, you are a star. Stars put asses in seats. Stars would be selling network subscriptions.
U never argued any of my points because you simply could not do so. Just a "i dont agree, lets move on
"
Be lifelong marks for shytty television brehs. Half faith in the future of a company that loses its ratings every year by a large chunk. The "stars" of tomorrow arent even D list celebrities....Like I said, the bytches on Total Divas are more over. More people know Naomi than Finn Balor. Dude has had enough TV time and all he could think of in 2 years is to pop his collar. 2 years and no catchphrase. 2 years and no imitable mannerisms. Hes lame. And you can say the same for 95 percent of those guys on your list. They aint shyt and wont be shyt.
The only hope they have is that HBK got a job out there but reality is he prob doesnt give enough of a fukk to truly help them out.

Luke Gallows is only 33?
Funny thing is if you go back 20 years, the age argument arguably was an early reason for WCW's collapse. Bret Hart, Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, DDP, Flair, Luger, Hogan, etc. were in their 40's or knocking on that door while in WWF most of their stars (The Rock, Austin, Foley, Triple H, HBK, Undertaker, Angle, etc.) were in their late 20's/early 30's. Makes you wonder how a rival organization would do if they had the same kind of exposure as WWE but focused on younger talent.
