not those guy's fault, its the organization. They keep trying to have the same people in the spotlight. Fans are going to keep wanting to see those guys then.

i remember the Monday Night Wars documentary and one reason mentioned for the downfall of wcw was the lack of developing new superstars. Guys like eddie guerro and Y2J stated they couldnt catch any breaks and thats why they came to the WWE.

Thats true. I still don't look at guys like Daniel Bryan being main headliners for this buisness. He doesn't really fit the mold

Daniel Bryan sucks.

CM Punk as well. Doesn't really have charisma. Only pushed for his straight up image. I hate this PG era crap

LOL.... they have been carrying the WWE for the past 9 months. Punk was so hot last summer, only Triple H could screw it up (which he did). Not to mention both are so over right now & Bryan is getting his "yes" phrase going. Seriously do you watch the shows? "The Mold" hasn't existed for a long time (Austin sure as hell didn't fit the mold, neither did HBK or Hart, ect ect I could go on)

Bryan didnt even get a minute worths of wrestling at WM

WWE is still a sucker for the old wrestlers

Agreed, Punk, Bryan and I include Sheamus as reasons why WWE has been good at times.

And lol, what's the percentage Johnny Ace wins now with his job on the line? No one can interfere, no special referee, etc...

I bet you anything big show interferes in this mach because technically he's fired.

True, could all be a big swerve... or Lesnar interferes... I think the ppv will be okay but it's been so rushed and nothing has been properly built up. So of course they have to throw s**t at the wall and see what sticks

I was thinking Cole interferes because he is the biggest Ace supporter, and he isnt a superstar. Maybe Show does though. Makes sense. I hope to god Cena makes Ace tap out.

I bet Big Show interferes and turns on Cena and helps Jonny Ace win. Then he'll say it was a big setup to beat Cena.

Im liking what theyre doing with Tensai. They need a monster heel and hes actually pretty good in the ring.
Triple H vs Lesnar at Summerslam will be cool, I know it hasnt been announced and theres still a lot of time but Im calling it. I hope Trips wins.

I agree with this except for the bolded. I personally think that the Big Show will "try to prove himself to jonny ace" and interfere. (aka kiss his ass) Johnny would not expect such servitude and reward the big show his job back.

Those guys didnt start out as superstars either. Edge was recommended to Vince by Bret Hart just before the screwjob. He jobbed to a lot of guys who didnt last more than a year or two at the beginning. I just watched a video of him losing to Tiger Ali Singh in like 2 minutes.
I thought Shawn Michaels could be big one day when he was with The Rockers, beating Tito Santana at Wrestlemania 8 was his coming out party. I remember Heenan even said as he was leaving the ring that Michaels is "the star of the 90s".
Did anyone think Hunter Hearst Helmsley would be as big as he is now? I meant he was booked in a squash match in his first Wrestlemania against Ultimate Warrior who hadnt been seen in 4 years.

That's all good but in this pg era none of the gimmicks are as good as before. There are no more bad-asses in my opinion. Punk maybe but who else? Bryan? I can't remember him even suplexing a bigger guy. Idk it's hard to see any of the younger guys becoming huge like rock or austin. However if they make orton a complete badass tweener( like austin) I think he could get huge.
