Hey everyone. This is not a thread to hypothesize about the next main eventers, nor the second coming of the Attitude Era. Not the potential of a new "Monday Night War", or the possible (yet probable) merging of the 3 brands.
What I would like to address and get feedback on is WWE, post "Wellness policy".
<Off topic for a sec>
Please don't get me wrong...I am completely behind the Wellness program. (Although I wish it were unbiased* and had a higher success rate) If implemented earlier, Wrestlers such as Davey Boy Smith, Eddie G, and even Bryan Adams might still be captivating us to this day. Lex Luger might still be walking and perhaps the Benoit travesty may not have happened...Who knows, maybe Scott Steiner could've been a decent wrestler...lol
Back To My Point
Recently, the Wellness Policy has been somewhat effective......... It's been highly successful in weeding out low-mid carders. Joey Mercury, Test, Chris Masters, (with all due respect) Nick Dinsmore, have all been released. It appears Chavo will never be released due to either name recognition or just plain guilt from the WWE. (But his hair-plugs look nice)
My * earlier about the biasness refers to Orton (who is a repeat offender), Batista (who's gene pool must've been shocked with stanzonol) and even HHH who you may as well call "Optimus Prime" cause his shape/size changes so often, go figure he created "Evolution". (Can't wait for Lashley to come back)
I've noticed recently many higher echelon wrestlers have been losing their builds. Some of which have already been implicated for juicing. Before Edge was injured, he was implicated by Sports Illustrated for juicing. He denied it of course, but shortly after he lost his "cut-ness" if you will.Kennedy, after getting suspended also has a "diminishing" physique-meaning gut. Rey Mysterio anyone?
Wrestlezone just reported that a revised "Wellness Policy" is in the works that allows less loopholes as well as the fact that WWE will announce future violators.
I see in the not so distant future WWE will have no other choice then to push Naturally talented, entertaining wrestlers rather than Vinnie Mac's ideal "Look".(Which 2 era's ago ended with Hogan and others testifying against Vince for the juice).
IMO this would be a great Era or new beginning if you would for WWE. Open the door for the guys deemed "not big enough" to grab the ball and run with it. Guys like Shelton, the Hardy's(Flame Off!) and Santino (who is complete money on the mic!). CM Punk who whether they like it or not, epitomizes every aspect of what they are preaching- Above average wrestler, Fan fav but does the heel well, and is drug+alc free.
Don't really have a closing for this but this is how I feel. With any luck, WWE will get on the ball and start pushing respectful talent.
(WWE allegedly has told Jericho to "Beef" up so we'll se how this turns out)
