I'm neat.
The WWE has a myriad of Superstars that either needs to be pushed or gotten rid of entirely. With the new reign of Triple H I feel that we will see the beginning of bright futures for many stars, but also the end of careers that never began. Here is my spin on who should stay and who should go in the future. They are organized into a push section and a fire section. Feel free to discuss my opinions and make opinions of your own.
Ezekiel Jackson
The current IC champion needs a push? Am I crazy? Doesn’t he have a push right now? Let’s see after winning the title all he has done is lose. Okay he had one win over Ted in a singles competition. He has been one of the most boring champions I’ve seen as well as one of the most losing champions I have seen. At Summerslam I see him losing the title to Rhodes and then him going back into the shadows. This guy has what it takes to be a dominant star but they just fail to do anything creative with him. Had there been no Nexus and then no Corre I don’t think he would have a contract with WWE right now. He may be the most misused Superstar right now and that is a problem. He needs an actual push instead of a transitional title reign. Hell I’ll even say that he was better used in ECW. Please WWE use this guy to the best of his abilities and not to get over Ted and Cody.
Who would you push? Why?
Who would you fire? Why?
Give reasons, not just a list.
Push
Zack Ryder
It sort of pains me to say this but this guy deserves a push. Even before his internet show he was a good performer in the tag team division. He is decent in the ring and decent on the mic. He knows what he is doing in the ring and has some exposure. Overall he gets a decent reaction which is more then a lot of the other mid-card talent can say. I think that a little more screen time for him would not hurt anyone and even if he is used to push main event talent this is still a step up for him. He can look good in front of a crowd and overall does well as a crowd pleaser. He may be pretty generic in that he is neither a spot monkey nor a big man but with that being said neither is Randy Orton. Zack Ryder is talented and for that reason deserves somewhat of a push, instead of this ridiculous win streak on Superstars.Brodus Clay
I’m guessing a few people may have forgotten big old Brodus, however I haven’t and I also haven’t forgotten of how much talent this guy has. He is a big man who has the size and shape to become a world champion. He also has the heel persona that would allow him to get over with the crowd very fast. The WWE is lacking in the big monsters category only really having Mark Henry currently. And as most would say Mark Henry’s push will die down pretty fast it seems. Clay is young, strong, and overall a good talent. I think if WWE was smart they would allow Brodus some air time on Smackdown who would thrive on having some additional superstars. I think he is a perfect fit in the McMahon criteria and for that reason should get on T.V as soon as possible. Also, how about a Del Rio feud in his future????Drew McIntyre
It is a shame that this guy isn’t used properly. He has all the talent but still finds himself barely getting on television. In the words of Bret Hart “this guy has potential.” He won the Intercontinental Title and the Tag Titles early on in his career and then all of a sudden he vanished. This guy would be a very solid mid-card talent on Raw and I truly believe he could be used either as a heel or face. They hinted at a possible face turn when he teamed up with Ziggler and I think this would work. He could easily face Ziggler for the title and have a solid feud with him. I think if he can find a way to be recognized back stage and have the opportunity to get on T.V and prove himself then he will have a very good career. However, I don’t what Creative to get lazy with him and because of their lack of effort end up cutting him due to him not performing.Ezekiel Jackson

Tyson Kidd
He has the skills he has the talent he just needs the push. He is currently feuding with Yoshi Tatsu on wait for it….NXT. And no he is not a rookie. Tyson Kidd is a gifted wrestler. He has had training from the all time greats such as Bret Hart. He is one of those “ring technicians” that really knows how to work a match. He has made a feud over a doll’s foot seem interesting on a show that has less views then a few Ryder episodes. Allow him to get into some good matches with people like Daniel Bryan, CM Punk, Kofi Kingston and I think people and wresting fans will be impressed. As long as he gets somewhat of a push I think people will like him. He has that heel look and I think would find ways of getting over. Maybe give him an Angry Canadian gimmick?Yoshi Tatsu
Does anyone remember the amazing match that he had with Chris Jericho. He was allowed to shine in this match and overall had a great match. He didn't seem like he was too far behind Jericho in skills and for a second actually had people believe that he would pull of an upset. He has the wrestling skills however he lacks in the speaking department right now. With that being said if you give him a gimmick like Sin Cara then all will go well. His kick looks believable and overall makes a person intrigued to watch him. It’s not everyday that KB gives a match between two jobbers a B- but he was able to receive one and if he can do that on a show like NXT I can only imagine what he could do given a push.Fire
Chris Masters
He just doesn't have what it takes these days. It seems his only real use was to entertain the guest hosts and now that that is over it would seem he has finished his purpose. He just isn't interesting anymore and isn't over anymore. If anything he is taking up space on Superstars that could have been used for other up and coming superstars. Masters now seems old and him being a "Masterpiece" just doesn't seem accurate anymore. Now all it seems is as if he is a steroid abuser. If WWE is smart they will cut him in order to hire somebody fresh who can easily take the role of body builder.David Hart Smith
This is sad however David Hart Smith just isn’t over with the crowd. I was sort of expecting him and Tyson to have a match and the loser would be fired however that didn’t happen SO they should just fire him now. He has the wrestling ability but overall isn’t over with the crowd and any reaction he had in the past was simply because of him using Bret hart’s music. I say he is wasting space in the locker room, and that there are several other people who can wrestle AND get over with the crowd besides him. Yes, I am from Calgary and I said this.JTG
Anyone who watches NXT at all knows why this guy is awful. As Cryme Time he was okay but now he is just stealing WWE's money, money, yeah, yeah. He isn't good in the ring, isn't good on the mic and in all honesty needs to go. He is not entertaining and hopefully gets axed before we have to see him ever again after NXT. He was a Pro however I truly believe that a few of the people on NXT right now are far better then him overall. Get this guy out of WWE and maybe if he is lucky he can linger in TNA.Tyler Reks
This guy had a run last year as a monster. Then disappeared and was basically never seen again. Considering he is still listed as a Superstar I think they need to change that. He can't get over is only okay in the ring and is currently kind of old. Get rid of him before you give him more money then he deserves.Who would you push? Why?
