Posted May 13, 200520 yr comment_2105070 With all the releases lately, requested or otherwise, how do you think that plus the upcoming draft will change things on WWE TV? A lot of the openings now are background/role player types that can let a guy fresh from OVW work the green off without being expected to carry a big storyline. It really isn't fair now how they pull guys from OVW, give them a completely new (and usually lame) gimmick and expect them to be over right out of the box. In fact, it's what they did with the Rock, after Third Generation Blue Chipper Rocky went over like a lead balloon he was put in a stable that allowed him to gradually work on his skills until he ended up overshadowing the entire group.

It'll still be the same stale shit, but with a new shiny wrapping. It may seem cynical, but it's the truth. The problems with WWE won't be solved by shuffling the roster around, and bringing in a few new faces. It makes for a nice diversion, but it doesn't tackle the real problems.
May 13, 200520 yr comment_2106145 HTQ's right. Until they make the decision to make someone besides Hunter the face of WWe, it wont mean anything. Ultimately, that is what has to happen. Casual fans and us hardcores will have to get the feeling that someone else represents WWe like Rock and Austin during its peak.... or even Hogan from Rock N Wrestling. Now compare those icons to HHH. You see the problem.
