Current Wrestlers Who Should Be Part Timers

Who on the roster, besides current part timers, would be more valuable in a part time role?

I feel Big Show should have been used like Andre The Giant, having his tv appearances limited so he wasn't overexposed.

Ric Flair should have been a part time wrestler in his last WWE run. He clearly wasn't the worker he used to be. A lot of his value came from nostalgia, imo. I'd say him wrestling a handful of times a year (only on pay per view) would have been better.

Big Show, Kane and Mark Henry for sure, since they're over 40 and don't need the TV time.

Cena and Orton are also established enough where you can limit them to PPVs and dark matches so there will be that "special attraction" feel when they wrestle on PPV. I also think Bryan is over enough where you can reduce his appearances in filler TV matches to save him for PPVs.

I'm not saying they have to disappear off TV and show up once a month like Lesnar, but maybe limiting the top names' TV appearances to promos/backstage segments will give more people incentive to subscribe to the network, since that's the only time you can see them in action. However, the above model would only work if Raw goes back to 2 hours and you scrap Main Event and Superstars. There's just so many hours of programming to fill per week now, that WWE needs all the bodies it can get.

Kane and Big Show part timers??? Huh?

Part timers = special attraction. Someone you really want to see but only get in small doses. Like Rock or Brock.

Not someone whose already super overexposed like Big Show and Kane.
Part-timers does not equal special attraction. We have guys like:

Brock Lesnar - the only one on the roster who may be considered a special attraction.

Rey Mysterio - yes I heard he's gone now but he was part-timing

Christian

Rob Van Dam - comes and goes

Chris Jericho - used to be "special" now not so much

Mark Henry

Sin Cara

Zack Ryder

I'm sure I'm forgetting a few but they are still on the roster and all but part-timers.

"Special attraction" is more for guys who aren't really under contract any more, were pretty over in their day, someone that people still want to see because of charisma, wrestling ability (some still have it), wittiness, nostalgia or whatever. These are people they use occasionally to put butts in seats or boost ratings.

So Kane & Big Show can become part-timers, still be on the roster, and only be used occasionally.

Kane, Big Show, Cena, Mark Henry, Orton, HHH & Steph. I know HHH & Steph don't wrestle much but they need to step back out of the spotlight a bit.

kane and bigshow more than a half year ago.
making them fued against all faces every week is annoying.
kane gimmick is destroyed and big show is not entertaining to anybody anymore.

but it is already too late because those two characters are out of touch and making them part timers now is senseless because nobody would care about their short apperances.

Maybe Goldust after his fued.
i think cena and orton until they have a good idea for their gimmicks
