I think the WWE needs to do a much better job at creating unique characters. Look at their sstars during their heyday:
The Rock: Stlish funny heel turned stylish funny face.
Steve Austin: Obnoxious beer swilling redneck who hates EVERYONE.
Mick Foley: Cactus Jack, Mankind, and Dude Love (ok, not so much Dude Love - A twisted series of characters.
HHH (pre-injury) - Basically he ripped off Brett Hart's gimmick and made it a heel. The legitimately good heel that didn't need to cheat to win, and was "that damn good" and everyone hated him because of it.
Undertaker - Dead Man with mystical powers and an slight leaning towards Paganism.
Kane - Giant burned freak. A complete MONSTER.
Now look at the talent:
Brock Lesnar - Monster face
Batista - Monster Heel
A-Train - Monster Piece of S**T!
Big Show - See A-Train
HHH - Now a muscle bound freak/brute
Steiner - See HHH
Randy Orton - Exactly what does he do?
Do you see what I'm saying here? There is no more diversity at the top of the card. Most of them look alike, sound alike and juice alike.
Meanwhile their real talents such as Tommy Dreamer, RVD, Jericho, and even to a lesser extent Benoit and Guerrero and wasted in the Mid Card constantly.
I'll be back with some fantasy booking I developed a little while ago with a great idea to bring New Japan in league with the WWE. Trust me, its not as stupid as it sounds
