- lordsofpain (originally from WrestlingObserver)As I reported last week, WWE is making it a priority to develop new stars. The wrestlers that will receive more attention are MVP, John Morrison, Mike Knox, Dolph Ziggler and others. Vince is said to be into the "making new stars" attitude now more than he has been since the 1990s. The reason for wanting to develop new stars is because The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels are out of action, and he sees some long-term problems with the current stars because of their age.
Sounds very good to me, besides Mike Knox, but meh. If you actually look at today's main eventers most of them have already peaked (Triple H, Batista, Undertaker, Michaels) so it makes sense for WWE to finally start pushing the younger talent. So far they've done a pretty good job in building John Cena, Edge, Jeff Hardy and (HHH fued aside) Randy Orton as credible stars. I do think John Morrison, Christian and MVP have the potential to be world champions one day, and possibly Matt Hardy. There is tons of young talent on all three WWE rosters and I'm glad it seems that WWE is finally going to start taking advantage of it.
With Undertaker and Batista considering retirement, rumors about Michaels retiring and Jeff Hardy possibly leaving WWE this summer it really does narrow down the main event scene a fair bit.
