In Dom Bouchard's returning piece he discusses WWE's aging roster and how he would replace old talent with more young pieces. I don't understand why, but lately the WWE roster has been aging so much it makes me sick to my stomach. Especially with so many talented young wrestlers in the company ready to steal the show. Guys like Andrade "Cien" Almas, Mojo, Apollo Crews, and the whole NXT roster and what we see is the full time return of Rey Mysterio, part time returns of Kurt Angle, Undertaker, DX ,Kane, Big Show, R Truth, Shelton Benjamin and so many old guys that being called up to the main roster is a demotion now.
Especially on Smackdown. The Randy Orton's and Jeff Hardy's of this company are the reason why ratings suck and so many people don't watch anymore. I am a huge lifelong WWE fan and it is the most frustrating time I ever witnessed.There are no reasons to let so many talented guys rot like this and use over the hill guys especially Taker whose matches often result in cringeworthy moments. It is like watching our grandpa in a ring and hope he doesn't get badly hurt. I could understand if there was no young talents ready to take the mantle but there are many. Here is the list of guys I would make sure we never see wrestle anymore: 1 Undertaker 2 Kane 3 HHH 4 Shawn Michaels 5 R-Truth 6 Big Show 7 Baron Corbin. Not old but sucks 8 Shelton Benjamin 9 Goldust 10 Rhyno 11 Jeff Hardy PHASE OUT 1 Randy Orton 2 Shinsuke Nakamura 3 Bobby Roode 4 Brock Lesnar Fire: 1 Ascension 2 Heath Slater 3 Fandango 4 Eric Young 5 Alexander Wolfe 6 Colon's 7 Rowan 8 Zack Ryder Replace them with big pushes from: 1 Andrade Cien Almas 2 Chad Gable 3 Apollo Crews 4 Mojo Rawley 5 Killian Dain 6 Bo Dallas 7 Aleister Black 8 Ty Dillinger 9 EC3 My main guys: 1 Seth Rollins 2 Dean Ambrose 3 Braun Strowman 4 Aleister Black 5 Ciampa 6 Johnny Gargano 7 Adam Cole 8 Roderick Strong 9 Kyle O'Reilly 10 AJ Styles 11 Daniel Bryan 12 The Miz 13 New Day 14 Uso's 15 AOP 16 Revival 17 Moustache Mountain 18 Pete Dunne 19 Drew McIntyre 20 Velveteen Dream I believe these changes would result in a younger and more talented roster that wouldn't waste its youth but embrace it. I believe while keeping some veterans you need more youth to counter balance it. WWE's aging problem is getting silly. Not everything should be a "return" or a "comeback." WWE needs to get back to simple wrestling storytelling. Similar to how NXT has proven that it works. WWE's only getting older. It's sad to see such talented, young workers get passed by the relics of the past. Follow @domghosthunter on Twitter. Follow @ZWrestleTalk on Twitter.

U.S. Senators are urging WWE not to travel to Saudi Arabia. But will Vince McMahon and WWE listen? WWE is staying in this relationship because the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is paying them tons of money. I mean heck the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia forced Shawn Michaels out of retirement. Just think about that... WWE has been trying to get HBK to return for dream matches. All it took was Saudi Arabia offering HBK $10 million for one match. Fans have been urging WWE to exit the Saudi Arabia relationship since the start. Greatest Royal Rumble didn't feature a single women for well.. reasons. That contradicts WWE's current women's evolution. Now Crown Jewel is in jeopardy for different reasons.
The current idea of WWE canceling Crown Jewel created the back up plan to replicate the same exact card at Survivor Series. Also meaning WWE would have to pay Shawn Michaels and Brock Lesnar the same amount out of pocket. Politicians are telling WWE to reconsider their deal with Saudi Arabia. Most are encouraging WWE to put event on pause. WWE is currently monitoring the situation. We live in crazy times. This WWE/Saudi Arabia partnership may not last after all. Sorry, for the shorter blog post but this topic is mind-boggling. Follow @ZWrestleTalk on Twitter. |
