2008 = Death of the Mid-Card Face?...

[Wrestling Station]

As of late it seems that there is an abundance of heels in the WWE on all brands across the board in every title picture... but where are the faces?

Especially in the middle of the roster...not the curtain jerkers or the main event...those guys in the middle who are trying to earn their spot to elavate their status and reach for the main event.

With the push of hardy to the main event...who fills his spot? to fued with santino, umaga,kennedy, cade and murdock, the same goes for his brother on smackdown with his eventual return...it has been longed for that he get in the main event...but where is the young competitor to rout for against khali, mvp, mark henry, noble, helms.Im not even gonna mention ECW cause i mean look at the roster Punk, dreamer, and balls...only faces on the roster. but that seems standard for all the rosters...they are stretched.

Now most people will make the argument that the WWE should just turn heels to faces and thats that. but as we have seen that if not done properly with build up it can flatten a good heels reaction ie.. Carlito and Finlay(in progress).

I know, there is only Matt Hardy atm on SD! really with Palumbo turning heel but I could also see Noble turn face and although you say that's not easy, I think it would be easy for him to pull off because he's got a funny gimmick and style that could go over well with the fans.

As for Raw the only faces are on heat, or in tag teams. I could se Cody getting a push when he splits from his team with Holly who would also be another midcard face but the heels would still outnumber them by a lot and there is always turning Murdoch again while Cade is away and another option you forgot to mention is developmental. With Harris and Killings coming that's more possiblilties if they join Raw.

And finally ECW. You've basically said all there is to say about ECW but another thing you've got to put in mind is the talnet share. If they ever have trouble then a couple of SD! stars can make a few appearances...

SD! is really lacking in the face as a whole right now the only face midcards are Kane, Jamie Noble, and Finlay they need to bring up some people either from OVW or have some face turns on SD!

Raw has Super Crazy, Ric Flair, Hardcore Holly, Cody Rhodes and Bobby Lashley when he returns the whole WWE needs faces overall the heels are dominating and thats why we keeps seeing people unsuccessful in WWE because they are heel.

ECW has Balls Mahoney, Kofi Kingston when he debuts next week, Tommy Dreamer, Stevie Richards, and The Boogey Man ECW has a good amount for a 1 hour show but most are injured the WWE needs to do something.

I pretty much agree with all that has already been said. On raw you have Kennedy, Umaga, Carlito and Santino, and WHO are they all feuding with?!? Jeff Hardy??

Smackdown is kinda screwed up with all the raw rejects. They have nothing for Khali, Kane and Mark Henry to do. The tag division still consist of like 3 teams. so yeah. At least ecw adn SD are now the same.

 

[SuckIt]

Cody is definately one for the future, as for SD! Kane does a good job as a midcarder but he really should be getting another push. Since the GAB he's barely had a sniff.

 

[Evil Austin]

its just so stupid that in the mid card division all the Raw rejects that mr McMahon does not like and wants raw to have the best go to smackdown or ecw who i think are just as good if were given a good superstar or two and a chance at not being the B and C shows. But anyway thats Vince for ya stubborn.

 

[Switchy]

^^The shows aren't all supposed to be the same though, that's the whole point. I'm sure if Vince didn't want A, B and C shows then he'd even the rosters out but it's obvious Raw is the A brand so the best talent is obviously gonna go there.

 

[Gards Jr.]

Yeah also we had a perfactly good face team onSmackdown London and Kendrick and after they got moved to raw they are used as Jobbers. Back on topic there aren't enough faces in the midcard. They are all injured or are in the main event or in the lower midcard. Like on raw as said above Jeff Hardy is fueding with all the midcard heels. Okay everything that I have to say has already been said so yeah I will leave it that
