Crayo said:This is what makes me sick. WWE are thinking of the now. Giving us these "dream" matches, top dog vs top dog, but in three or so years when HHH's quads finally give out and Cena is close to retirement, what the F*** are we left with?
It's disgusting to think HHH, a wrestler who doesn't even appear weekly or wrestle anymore is going to get a Lesnar rub. Not even the creative monkeys would have booked this, it stinks of HHH himself.
Rainman said:Exactly. Don't you miss 2008, where John Cena faced Dave Batista for the first time ever? That was the last time there was a dream match from the actual roster... But after this match, what dream matches are left? There's Punk/Austin, Taker/Cena, and...
It's not even about 3 years from now. Right now there are only 4 people on the roster who have any star power at all (some have star potential, see Mizanin, Mike), and the only one the real fans aren't rejecting is Daniel Bryan, WWE's unintentional top face. We need people who the fans will want to see at Wrestlemania 39, not just trying to rely on people from Wrestlemania 17 to pop the rating for a little while.

The thing is that, in order to do what you're suggesting, WWE would have to actually do two things they seem loathe to do in the last few years: 1) listen to their long-time fans (as opposed to the "casuals", who only care about who they're told to), and, 2) develop talent. It should come as no shock to anybody that the last two "breakthrough" guys they've had were guys who learned how to work and get over in the "Indies" (this is no slight to WWE-grown guys like Dolph Ziggler and Cody Rhodes; they're just not quite there yet, although they're both very close). But Punk and Bryan have really exploded and put on epic matches, particularly against each other.
WWE needs to stop worrying about the aforementioned "dream matches" (and the IWC needs to quit focusing on the Attitude Era) and build the guys they've got on the roster now. Punk and Bryan are basically over. So are Cena, Orton (when you can keep him off steroids), and Sheamus. They need to actually develop the characters of Dolph Ziggler (they might actually be doing this in the upcoming Ziggler-Swagger feud) and Cody Rhodes (again, I'm seeing good things in the feud against The Big Show, yes, I'm serious, and his current feud with Christian, which deserves more screen time than it's getting, especially over the whole Laurinaitis-Cena b.s.).
WWE has some out-of-this-world talent on the roster (and not just Shane Rollins, Dean Ambrose, and Damien Sandow, although it's time for all three to come up to the main roster). They need to develop that talent and quit trying to make a splash by bringing in big-money, part-time "sports entertainers".
