Admittedly my thoughts were partially inspired by the way guys are brought up and peeps want/expect them to be contenders to majorly established guys like, Christian, Regal, Henry, Matt Hartdy or whoever within a matter of a month or two (lets's call it Ryder-Syndrome), but it got me thinking.....
ECW needs jobbers.
Now firstly, I understand this would, to some degree, affect the overall star power of the show, but hear me out....
The way the new guys are brough up on ECW seems to be less than effective (apart from the guys like Punk, Swagger & Bourne who they new they were gonna, to whatever extend, push from the start).
I'm not saying they shouldn't fast track ANYBODY up the card if they think an impact debut would be the right move, but I think it'd benefit ECW in terms of it's 'develpmental'/introductory approach, if they brought guys up to 'new talent initiative' who's sole purpose is to job to the ones who (outside of Kayfaybe) are REALLY the new talent. (i.e When bringing Yoshi Reks & co up they should have also brought some guys up to job for them.) The idea being that it aids the guys as they strive to establish themselves (not so much 80's TV style, but think early days of Raw when you had guys that were regulars and were even allowed to get a bit of offense in)... Please note I don't necessarily mean out and out squash matches.
We, as the audience, could see them rise above relative obscurity in front of our eyes (and said jobber guys eventually dissappear back into obscurity (or whatver they call FCW these days. ), whilst they get a proper chance to get over by showcasing themselves rather than being expected to look good whilst being relatively squashed by the top tier of the roster.
Bearing in mind that the new talent initiative is, in a sense, just another storyline, I think it would serve it's purpose better and we could very well end up with this organic ever changing bottom of the roster where a certain amount of intrigue can be built for the fans whom can be left wondering/hoping "I hope my guy breaks out*".
(*In a kayfaybe sense that is.)
Somewhat flawed in part I dare say, but it just seems to me that things could be working better....
Do you see any benefit or mileage in such an approach?
Any alternative ideas?
Whadya'll think?
