As an old school fan who started watching in the 80s then throughout the 90s and to the present day product, WrestleMania approaches once more...an its again a further showing of how inferior the current product and its roster of wrestlers (Sorry...Superstars) are. Not by the performance of the superstars themselves.. but by the company telling us they are not good enough! 7 Superstars fill the three main event feuds; Lesnar & Triple H (w/ HBK), Taker & Punk and another Cena & Rock match. Only two of them (Cena & Punk) are full time current generation wrestlers. Simply put...the current WWE talent, who perform all year around for the company are not good enough to be involved in any of the three main feuds for the biggest event of the WWE calendar.
WrestleMania never use to be about wheeling out the old talent to fill the main spots, it was about the biggest wrestlers on the roster facing each other in a long feud ending at WrestleMania. But this appears to be the 2nd year running that part timers fill the main event scene while wrestlers the likes of The Miz and Wade Barrett are not considered good enough to even get on the card! The way I see it, as WrestleMania is built up as the biggest stage of the year and you dont feature your full timers, then in the eyes of the fans they wont see them as stars either.
None of the part timers in the main feuds are putting over stars who need it. Punk and Cena are already at that top level. The Rock, Triple H, Taker, HBK, Lesnar should take a leap out of Jerichos book and help the company in the long run by making future stars and helping others get over.
So the question is; Is the talent that bad that the WWE needs part timers to fill WM main event scene? Or doesnt the WWE trust the current superstars enough to give them their own WrestleMania moments?
