The raw roster is really lacking star power except for maybe John Cena. It maybe 4 or 5 years before the WWE can retool and do a better job of building new stars, and when I say "stars" I mean like HHH, Undertaker, HBK, Rock & Stone Cold. It's obvious the modern day "starts" CM Punk, Cena, Bryan, Miz, Ziggler isnt exactly getting the 18-34 crow excited about monday nights. I understanding times have changed, and living in the past doesnt do much good, but I think they should be using the last of the attitude era guys (HHH, Undertaker) while they still have some gas in the tank left. HHH needs to drop the COO gimick and get back to being the cerebral assassin. Undertaker needs to show up monday nights, at least 2 weeks of every month which shouldnt be too much to ask?

mcintyre is the new triple h, riley is the new john cena and bryan is the new funaki

The younger "stars" can't get over as legit stars unless they get to go over the legends of the previous generation to establish themselves or those older legends make room for them. It's short term vs. long term and the WWE consistently picks short term.

That's the worst thing they could do. Like you said, that's a temporary fix, and when they're NOT there, WWE are going to need people to carry the company regardless. If they spend all their efforts on the HHHs and Undertakers, that won't happen.

And somewhere, somehow, this time tested mechanism went wrong.

if they would sign lesnar full time that would solve the problem because when he was on smackdown from 2002-2004 that was the A show. He made it great amongst other superstars of course.

What do you guys expect them to do if they're around every week?

Maybe they can cut some more promos on how much they respect each other.

HHH and Undertaker are top draws. But that's all they need to be. DRAWS, nothing more, nothing less. Just advertise "HHH in Action" or "Undertaker in Action", and put them in a short match against someone like JTG or Curt Hawkins.

They don't need Lesnar full time. The problem is that they brought him back for dream matches with other part time guys instead of bringing him back to build up young guys.

No one wants to see JTG vs Undertaker. Gtfo lol.

 

[Pacmanboi]

The dream matches can be saved for a co-main event, I will always think that the WWE Championship is the most important aspect of each show and should close out every show, unless a big return is there, no ongoing angle should overshadow the WWE title.

I think everyone wants to see JTG kicks out of the tombstone, no matter if he wins or loses.

 

[holycityzoo]

stop living in the past OP and start getting behind new stars. How can you expect the business to evolve if you keep begging the stars of yesterday to come back?

 

[Bob the Jobber]

Instead of pushing a "dream match" that didn't seem all that dreamy in its build, they could have solidified Punk as champion with a win over Lesnar. These "dream matches" for a quick buck are all well and good to sell a PPV short-term, but what happens when guys like Taker/HHH/Lesnar are no longer able or available to prop up a PPV build? Creative needs to make the stars for the future "dream" matches or they're going to be scraping and clawing trying to build future stars because they didn't utilize the legends to help build them. It's laziness, because the current creative team is cashing in on hard work by creative teams in the past that got these legends over to the point they are now.
