Is Everyone Where They Should Be?

[CT Styles]

Is everyone where they should be in the WWE? Is there anyone(s) that you think shouldn't be where they are? Is there someone in the Main Event who you think should be a jobber? Or vice-versa. In my opinion I liked Jericho better when he was Upper-Midcard, not Main Event and World Champion; I don't mind it but when he returned, the position he was then. I preferred that. That's all i can think of now, I'll add more later.

Your thoughts?

The most obvious seems to be MVP, there is no reason he should be jobbing. He's got the total package and WWE is just wasting. Not the other way around I feel Mark Henry and Finlay should not be main eventing even if it is just ECW. ECW is supposed to be the place where the up and comings are wrestling. I see having Hardy there as a draw but the other two are just ridiculous.

J does have a point, but you have got to have at least one or two established guys on the brand like Finlay or Mark, if only for putting over purposes. Although Finlay should get a run as champ before he retires.

Pushed Up The Card-MVP, John Morrison, Ted DiBiase, Umaga

Pushed Down The Card-Batista, Matt Hardy, Vladimir Koslov (at least to mid-card for now)

no way Batista should be moved down on the card - maybe making him a heel main eventer would make more sense to me. Hardy is the ONLY reason ECW is still on the air right now. Koslov needs to be pushed down and given more time to build his character.

MVP needs to be pushed and a move to ECW to be champ would be the right move so he can return to SD to say he's bored or something along those lines. Morrison should be IC or US champ. Them man has skills beyond belief and all he needs is more mic work (and I honestly think working with MIZ on the dirt sheet has made him better). Dibiase will be a ME in like 3 years but now is the time to keep him where he is (in the ME scene but not a Main Eventer - hope that makes sense). Umaga needs to be champ on SD so HHH can have a legitimate challenger, bottom line.

Move up (not necessarily to the ME scene but up) - Shad, Morrison, Santino

Move Down (right under the ME scene) - Koslov, Taker, HBK

Please explain.

Please explain.

With Taker being at his age and ability I don't think it fair to others who are trying to make a name for themselves to be put on the back burner for him. I love and respect Taker but come on, its getting old (just like his faded out Sara tattoo)

HBK should be in a feuds which are more based on respect issues rather than a title(which is what I assume is being in the MAIN EVENT scene). I think he should be in there with guys like Morrison and Jeff Hardy and MVP and Kennedy and otehr guys who are confident and cocky so he can give them a good rub but still be HBK.

That being said this should all take place AFTER WM25 since I think both of these guys need to HEADLINE WM25 against each other (main event of the show).

 

[CT Styles]

Yeah I agree about Taker it's just I wanted to see how you'd do it because it's hard to take someone like him and put him back down in the midcard.

HBK, I'm still waiting for that one last world title reign but it won't happen lol. I would love to see a HBK/Morrison feud though, Morrison reminds me of a young HBK.

 

[SnackZ]

You are on the money about Morrison/HBK - he really fits the mold - I think he could really go places with HBK as an on screen opponent and as a back stage mentor. ALL he needs is to work on his promo skills and he will be better than 95% of the roster.

To take Taker out you just really need him in the role as the gatekeeper to the E's young talent who THINK they have what it takes to be the top dog.

You see - I believe that once its time for someone to step down the best way to do this is by testing their manhood/career/icon status and have some new jacks/mid carders step up. This gives them a legitimate feud while not making them the focus of either show. Whether it be for Taker or HBK or HHH, I think this would be the most appealing to all and would not have people whining about "he's old" or "he's only doing this for the money" or "he's 60 and shows up for no reason other than to feed his ego".

Hardy is the ONLY reason ECW is still on the air right now.

That is silly. First of all, ratings were higher when Mark Henry was champion, so to credit it all to Matt Hardy is nothing short of ridiculous.

Second of all, Hardy's role could be filed with anybody. When it wasn't Hardy it was Henry; when it wasn't Henry it was CM Punk; when it wasn't Punk it was Morrison. If Hardy was moved to the US Championship division on Smackdown, he could easily be filled by the Miz or Finlay.

 

[Evil Austin]

Besides MVP which people have stated, I would also like to add in my thoughts on CM Punk He is currently in the tag team division where he should still be in the Main Event area.

Now don't take me wrong I am not some random Punk mark that says he should always be in the Main Event mark infact I like him in the upper mid and mid area but he did get kicked out without any notice or any reason from the Main Event. He should get a match with Randy Orton for booting him in the jaw at Unforgiven making him lose the title in the first place or a match with Jericho at a ppv where he has his rematch clause.

With not getting any and just being thrown into a team with Kofi, I say he is not in his right place for now.

Up the card:

MVP: ...but rebuild him first. PLUS... Keep him solo as a cocky, devious and, when necessary, vicious heel.

Jericho: When I say this, I mean do something to keep him in the ME-scene. I understand he still may not be a big time draw, but he's been SO good since turning heel and, of all the indulgences that Vince he allows himself with guys and angles that aren't over, sure we can 'subsidise' Y2Js inclusion in someway for the good of the overall quality of the product.

Finlay: Respect fued with Matt Hardy over the ECW title. He's over enough to carry that belt for a couple of months (and can always drop it back to Matt) and he really does deserve to go out on a high after having to carry an inflatable mallet to the ring and entertain 5 year olds with Hornswaggle for much of this year.



Down the card:

Koslov: He's had his fast-track to the top, had his title shot (although proved not to be over enough to be main eventing), yet didn't suffer a clean loss and as a result if somewhat preserved, so let's get him back in the mid-card and actually clock up some credible victories... I say have him go over Khali & Truth IF the intention is for him to be a regular ME fixture in the future.

Kofi Kingston: Sloppy, 1 dimensional baby-face, annoying gimmick and holding Punk back from at least a decent upper midcard spot.

JBL: Face it, it's time to job for the sake of the newer guys... Peeps still enjoy seeing him get his ass kicked so it needn't be 'curtains' for his career overnight.

Two things, and two things only (IMO).
JBL needs to move down the card a bit as airfixx said.And, MVP needs to be moved up. I'm thinking, if he wins a match all of a sudden,a dn they make him go on a bigtime roll, wining a bunch of matches in a big push, it could work.
But those are really the only two that I think should change.
