Their using stars that are established, and have been established over the years in feuds with newer guys to help get the newer guys over. The bulk of WWE's big name, big money, big drawing talent has retired, or their in process of retiring.
....What?
Christian, Henry, and Regal are all going to be gone within the next 18 - 24 months. Henry recently stated he had a good 18 months left in him. Regal said he's retiring soon, hell hes semi retired now. and Christian cant continue at the level he's going at right now for much longer, hes pushing 40.
Christian hasn't done shit to retire at 40.
Triple H is still around, but Triple H doesn't have to much left in his tank either, hes was sidelined for most of 2010 due to injury, followed by repeat injury, followed by aggravated injuries and lingering injuries from the original injury. Punk vs HHH wont be Triple H's last match, but it will be one of his last.
Triple H would like you to think that.
Undertaker is another talent who is on his way out. Hes been battling injuries for a long time and they've all caught up with him. He's stated in interviews how his rotator cuff is completely fucked and there is no surgery that can fix it now because he waited so long to get it treated. Taker wont be wrestling 3 years from now, its not smart for him, his health, his fans or the WWE in general.
Since when WWE cares about health? Anyways, I agree by the time he hits 20-0, he will most likely retire.
Mysterio has suffered so many knee injuries I'm surprised he hasn't already retired.
I'm surprised, he wants to continue to wrestle for a company that treats him as a Champion Jobber.
Cena may only have a few years left in him due to injuries hes received over the past few years. The Champ may be here now, but he's going to be very limited in the near future.
You can't be serious. WWE will forever push Cena down our throats until he's in his 40s. He's 34, he's in his prime. Back in the day, Flair and Hogan began their push int heir 30s.
Orton on top now, because within 5-7 years, Orton will also be gone. Much like Cena he's picked up a few injuries over the years that will come back to haunt him soon.
Orton is like 31. He's got 10 more good years. He's far from injured.
Punk will be another guy gone within 5 years from now, due to his age, and how long he's been wrestling.
Del Rio may be new to the WWE, but he's up there in age and within the next 3-5 years he'll also be stepping away.
Age is just a number. Come on now, how anyone can predict their retirement is kinda ridiculous. Sting is a healthy horse and wrestles like a 30 year old at the age of 50. He's obviously looking to retire but if he still has gas in the tank, he's using it.
Del Rio and Punk are 32 and 35 but there is no telling how far they can go.
The WWE has to focus on building up its younger talent in order to have real stars once their current cash cows bow out.
Sounds like WCW.
Think of how many of the younger guys were rushed into test title runs, and where they are now. Swagger, Sheamus, Miz all come to mind.
What a great Youth Movement right?
They follow closely to the rush Orton got when he beat Chris Benoit for the title. Rushed, and soon dismissed and dropped down the card, now look where he is.
You mean a psychotic babyface? He's Top 2 in the company ranking but his gimmick in general is awful.
They have to utilize the talent they have now before its too late.
It already is too late. Nobody takes Sheamus seriously, nobody takes Barrett seriously, nobody takes Miz seriously.
At one point Kofi Kingston main evented against Randy Orton. Where is he now?
At one point, Evan Borune main evented against Orton. Where is he now?
Remember the "rumors" about Teddy Jr taking on Undertaker at WM? Yeah, how is that working out? He's getting buried on a weekly basis after Legacy.
Brian Danielson was supposed to be the next great thing. He was the next Benoit, CM Punk, etc. He is on course to be the most irrelevant World Champion in history.
Drew McIntyre was "The Chosen One"....He's buried so much, FBI dogs wouldn't find him.
Again, everyone hopes and says this Youth Movement is such a great thing when it's not even utilized properly and there is no actual
movement
