I think wwe is trying to hard to bring back the attitude era and are making up ridicolous storylines that leave nothing for the wwe to do
Take john morrison for example
hes rising very fast and will become a main eventer
dolph ziggler
is the same
etc etc.
i think wwe needs to bring back eric bishcoff
and they need to stop making superstars change face
for example
triple h= borrriinnnggggg
triple h in 2003= main eventing superstar
the days of wwf will never return if the wwe dont bring in enough talent

i can’t believe no-ones mentioned christian! when he went to TNA he really established himself as a singles competitor and when he was TNA champ he handled it really well and he knows how to work the crown given the chance! why doesn’t the WWE push christian to compete for the top 2 titles instead of just the ECW title???

We can’t say we didn’t see this coming. When Vince raided all those promotions back in the 80’s, those superstars were already established with 10-15 years experience. There are some exceptions (Goldberg, Lesner), but it usually takes a few years to develope a superstar with the right combination of skill and psycology. In the mean time, who’s gonna fill that void?

Anyone remember the talent exchanges back during the territories? You had World Champion vs. World Champion matches? And what about the Crockett Cup? Or World War III? You had all that talent from around the world, you got to see great matches, and everybody won. I know, I know, the game’s not the same anymore, but I think if promoters put the good of the business ahead of their pocketbooks, it might help the problem.

Ok, Shelton Benjamin is HORRIBLE!!!!! Nobody cares about his matches, and same goes for MVP. The only ones who cares is little kids who thinks he is a cool guy “thug” with his ballin and such. Horrid. The only up and comers that I would say have even a chance to make an impact in the future are guys like, John Morrison, Mr. Kennedy(who is now out), CM Punk has a ways to go but is on his way. The Brian Kendrick would be awesome if he would stop being such a dumb ass. And i agree with almost all of you, non of this will happen if WWE does not get out of this “PG” crap.

WWE has the ability to make anyone with some potential a big star,(look back on the past) and they have plenty of young wrestlers with that potential. There is no need to worry about future main eventers.

(first of all i know that my massege is too long but please if you are realy a wrestling fan then you shuold read it thank you)
i think you are absulotly right wwe is at stake at this moment because their last decade wreslters are retiring soon (you are right about that)and their storylines are bad and getting worse and their new genration aint that good they have a lots of money and they do nothing about it well my opinion is when wwe turned to PG they became bad because they have removed a lots of violent scenes and turned the pro wrestling to just been like normal fighing undistry well pro wrestling is better than that pluse they removed almost all the big moves that they used to do normaly regular punches one or two moves every match that is realy bad.

compared to TNA who i dont know if they are PG but has a {i dont want to say great storylines} but they have a good storylines compared to wwe their main event storyline are like no other and their tag team storyline is not bad infact it might get better and their monsters storylines are extreme hardcore i mean even now they book a thounsand taks match for womens and that is realy amazing {ow and by the way TNA has brought the womens wrestling to a hole new level) and dont forget the x division brand wich has very amazing athlete and wrestling has a lot of action in the ring in my opinion if TNA had more money they would crush the wwe like a bag

ow one more thing:wwe has lost alots of peices in its company they removed the hardcore champioship
their tagteam divion is not good
and they removed all the cruiserweight wrestling from it
i think this move has played an improtant role of screwing the wwe thats all i have to say
ow and by the way if wwe continue like that it wont stay around to the next decade

I think that you are generally very insightful and execute your columns quite well. I do however disagree with the notion that MVP is limited in the ring though I am also very skeptical as to whether he could carry a headline position. I think that mvp despite his silly costume and gimmick is one the best ring psychologists in wrestling today and does very well with the in match storyline. I think that MVP can carry a good match and make other stars look good, I would rate him just a step below Edge and Jericho in this area. As far as interviews go I feel he should play the “straight man” and let a charismatic heel carry him. As a writer and a lifelong wrestling fan, I would just like to say, keep up the good work!
