WWE is absolutely fukked once the part timers are unable to compete.

If you did see some of RAW, you saw Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker basically having the same promo they had in 2012, to promote yet ANOTHER Triple H vs Undertaker match. Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker got huge pops and that made pause for a second. Which wrestler that had a match in 2018 could have a pop similar to Taker’s on RAW? John Cena, who’s the last of a dying breed of Superstars in WWE that was truly treated like a Superstar and billed as a Superstar and had a larger than life personality. Yes, he was booed a hell of a lot but to his credit, he carried himself as a Superstar as well.

You look at today’s stars, there is no Cena, hell there’s no Batista, there’s no Triple H, there’s no Undertaker, there’s isn’t even a fukking Rey Mysterio in WWE today. When you look at it though, WWE is to blame for that.

WWE is too afraid to create that mainstream star and of course Vince is determined to get Roman Reigns over to the point where other wrestlers are suffering from it. Seth Rollins was the most popular wrestler in WWE during the Spring and what do they do? Nearly kill his momentum by putting him in a feud with Dolph Ziggler. Braun Strowman was getting over very well, he looked to be that Batista, that popular #2. What do they do with him? Inexplicably turn him heel. Elias, a guy who would’ve been insanely over in 2000, and is still sort of over today, what do they do with him? He’s basically playing a mysogynist to promote Evolution. Don’t even get me started on AJ Styles who can’t even Main Event SmackDown these days. Or guys like Bobby Lashley, The New Day, and the entire Cruiserweight Division. Women like Asuka and someone like Sasha Banks who has the most mainstream potential out of any woman in WWE not named Ronda Rousey.

Long story short, they build these men and women up and once they reach a certain amount of popularity, they try to level it off and that won’t go over well in the future. They can’t keep relying on building PPVs around HHH, The Undertaker, The Rock, Brock Lesnar etc. These guys were Main Eventing Raw in 2002! Imagine Hulk Hogan, Bob Backlund, and Lex Luger main eventing PPVs in 2009, 16 years after 1993, shyt wouldn’t look right would it?

WWE could easily book a very successful WrestleMania using exclusively full time talent but because they of their own fukkups, they rely on part timers, but the longer they keep doing this, the more that the future of the WWE looks bleak as there will be no true stars.

There is a Rey Mysterio and a Chris Jericho but they are #ALLIN :mjlit:

They could be fine if they actually push the guys that the crowds get behind but Vince will never do that. You are supposed to strike when the iron is hot. The iron was hot for Roman around WM 31 and they didn't pull the trigger. Now they are fukking up Braun. He was very over and they squandered that.

Other hot acts they've fukked up like Elias, Sasha, Asuka. AJ Styles they've done well with but he's basically the legit #1 merch seller. Why not try him as the main guy on RAW?

I said this shyt years ago, maybe before Lesnar beat Taker at Mania. The last true star they made was Cena and it doesn't look like they give a shyt about making anyone else besides Roman.

I don't even watch the shyt anymore but it's been like what...three years they been attempting to to "make" him. I swear that Vince wants to be able to say "see I did make someone". He's hell bent on getting this dude over while nobody else gives a fukk.

This company is so afraid of wrestlers becoming popular in the mainstream that they’ve sabotaged their roster to keep the “brand” strong. I feel bad for a lot of these folks cause this isn’t the company they grew up watching. It’s a complete shell of itself and the WWE has only itself to blame. Everything from the crowds, to the matches, to the writing to the general presentation. It’s in shambles. You can take a 3 month break, come back and basically not miss anything. If you took a break in 97 or 2000, you would literally hate that you missed any shows.

They went public and now its all about being good enough to turn a profit,

they want Ronda and Charlotte to headline the women's ppv because to them they are the top women people want to see, Ronda has a name and charlotte is legacy, tall and blonde. Roman has legacy and is "larger than life" plus he has "the look".. DBRY is popular but doesn't look the part and he got injured twice so they are scared of him, AJ is over but he isn't home grown or is he the prototypical body, same for Seth, finn, and everyone else. Lashley has the look but the personality of a board and hes black so the core "middle America" base still isn't ready for that..

All of what I typed is Bullshyt but until they stop thinking like its the 80's this will continue. Vince has taken the NFL approach where no player is bigger than the league. no indy guy will ever get the "Hogan push" and until vince can create a big man with personality and can go in the ring you will never be happy with a WWE top guy again. This is the equivalent to NBA teams still putting all their faith in Centers when its clearly all about 1-3 position

The last real stars they “made” were Bryan and Punk.


You must be trolling, the fans made them not WWE creative. If WWE made them Punk would still be around and Bryan wouldn't have ever been on the "injured list".

Last real "star" they made was Cena

They dont want one star being bigger than the brand. They cut Bryans legs to where now hes just another guy on the roster. Rock and Brock bouncing on them earlier than expected started this.

I wouldn’t exactly say Rock & Brock were the blame,


Cuz they still had Edge, Kennedy, Lashley, Ortan, Batista, & CM Punk.....


Either injuries, bad backstage politics & booking fukked that up

Bryan definitely isnt no other guy. Bryan and Becky Lynch are bigger than everyone in the WWE today.
