WWE needs fresh new main eventers who can actually draw.

Lets be honest, The Rock ain't gonna really stay around a lot he'll make appearences and thats it. John Cena is their only credible star they have. The Miz is on his way but he has WAYS to go. There are all these wrestlers that are red hot like Del Rio, Orton, Sin Cara but the problem is that they don't draw like Rock/Austin/Taker/HHH/Jericho did back in the day. After next year's Wrestlemania. Who's gonna order and watch people most people never heard of?

The younger guys just need some wins over more established people. If Del Rio beats Edge, I see him moving up in the world. Jericho was a great guy for putting the younger stars over. A lot can change in a year and just look at The Miz. Went from opening WM in a three minute match to main eventing it and being one of two heels to ever retain the WWE title at WM in the main event. With enough build, many of these people can make it to the next level and if you notice, the ones that aren't rushed are usually successful. Plus you still have the guys like Orton, Cena, Punk & Morrison that can electrify a crowd anyway. Honestly I don't see it being much of problem.

Trust me dude, they already have them, they just get booked down the gutter. But I am still a believer of "give them time" not everything good happens right away, Look at Rhodes did you ever imagine he would be in MANIA 27 as one of the best matches. Now he has a year to only get better.

Was his match good? Or were the others bad?

 

[Tronnik]

They're in a better place than last year. They're in a better place than the year before that.
Don't know what the hell the OP is smoking.

 

[SHUDEYE]

I think it just comes down to marketing the star. Appearances on popular programs and possibly in-character would be good. Put over a feud on The Tonight Show or something during your interview and try to speak in the dying kayfabe for a lot of the appearance.

 

[machine_man]

Was his match good? Or were the others bad?

Bit of both. Most of the Mania matches were lackluster but Cody's performance was definitely good. Good character work, good wrestling, and good storytelling. This match probably put him on the radar for people that were doubting him. He's a star in the making, got all the tools for it.

WWE needs stars? What are ya smoking?

The WWE is fine and the dire hard fans know this. It's been a little softer/slower then the past, but it's far from falling flat on its face.

 

[D17]

It's not 1996 where they were starved dry of talent. If they needed stars then you'd know about it.

 

[Monsoon4Ever]

I agree, but what can you do.

 

[LBThrizzy]

they have stars. they just dont focus on them they focus on people like the rock and brock lesnar.

 

[A-C-P]

I was going to reply but it looks like the OP has gotten banned, shame

Truth is that wwe doesnt have enough stars atm, doesnt matter whatever anyone says.
GUys like ziggler, rhodes, miz and others are great but they are just not good enough to be main eventers, midcarders and upper midcarders at best.
WWE is ruining the main event stars by making them kid friendly. Cena is ofc the biggest example, but also look at Sheamus, he has all the possibility of becoming the 2nd cena. He used to be a hugely interesting character as the guy who loves to fight just like stone cold, but wwe had to change him into this smily wiley character. Randy orton was so much better as a heel, now hes just bland as a face. Sure wwe has some decent main event talent, but they are just not getting the gimmicks right. Punk is the only real "star" that wwe has produced in the last 5 years.

Another thread dug up from a year ago by Monsoon4ever, let's see how this gimmick plays out.

Hopefully with him being banned.

 

[Scissor Me Daddy-O!!]

WWE needs Stars! Shit, on my way!

They have stars, and are getting even more new people this year. Like others have said, it's about using them or not using them.

 

[doinktheclowns]

WWE is in a much much much better place than they where last year.

Last year the PPV main event was John Morrison, Cena, and R Truth

This year we have Brock Lesnar, Tensai, CM Punk, Daniel Bryan, Sheamus, Team People Power (lauranitis), Chris Jericho, Cena.

Maybe WWE would have more stars if they spent time establishing young talent as stars instead of panicking about meaningless ratings and bringing back old guys constantly.

Like WM 27? ADR and miz headlining it, the first one now is considered hugely overrated and stale, and the second one is jobbing and considered one of the worst champions in history. You dont make stars by making them mainevnet wrestlemania, your logic is totally flawed.
