I've thought about making this thread for a while because I've been wondering about WWE's use of new talent coming in and going on an undefeated streak.
So, WrestleZoners. I want your thoughts on undefeated streaks. Do you think they are over used? Are they irrelevant in today's wrestling? Are there better ways to push new talent? Any other points about them would be great aswell.
I think undefeated streaks now just get old quickly and the writers at WWE have to come up with better ways to build wrestlers up instead of billing them as undefeated in singles competition like Kozlov was. I think they are over used aswell and if it comes to it where WWE feel that someone absolutely has to be on an undefeated streak then the streaks should be very far apart and not have a new talent come in each year and go on an undefeated streak.
It's one of the few things WCW got right with Goldberg but the thing is, I don't think they started hyping Goldberg as undefeated until the fans recognised it and then they ran with it. I think if the announcers stop telling us about the undefeated streaks and reminding us all the time about them, people might not get as sick of it and the streak could naturally develop once the fans pick up on it.
