Why do you guys think younger talent isn't being elevated?

**SBG89** · 08-05-2009 06:00 PM

With the exception of the slow pushes of Morrison and Ziggler and the last successful push in CM Punk there hasn't been much movement as far as young talent being put into some serious main event dealings.

I had a thought that possibly WWE is scared that if they push the new talent too fast they will leave the company too soon(Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley being prime examples) and they will be left with some holes to fill because the guy they just spent time and money on pushing just left the company. Do you agree that WWE is scared to push talent because they think the talent will eventually split on them? If you don't agree then why do you think new talent isn't being pushed?

I do think they are a bit scared of pushing younger talent really quick because of those two, but I do think they are starting to come around on that a tad bit. Also I had a thought they just possibly don't think some talent isn't ready, when fans might think they are.

Yea the WWE is scared that another Lashley or Lesnar will happen but if they don't push there young talent the guys will soon move on like Kennedy.

yeah they have to start pushing younger talent if some of their top talent are injured or taking time off, i think morrison will be world champ by the end of the year, swagger in a couple of years, but i hope sooner

I can't really say I blame them for being scared about pushing younger talent after Lesnar, that was the worst departure from WWE in recent memory.

I think the WWE is scared that the talent that might rise might fail itself. I don't know, but Kennedy for example the guy was great I liked him but failed a lot with his injuries. I mean Brock and Lashley were both big I didn't see Brock staying in the company if he was going to start getting treated like crap later on (the goldberg match and how he begged mr. machmahon it was just shameful). The only one I see to be a top person is Morrison and Ziggler has potential to become something big. The WWE is yet to get something as big as Lashley or Brock Lesnar.

I think they are not pushing younger talent (especially on RAW) not because they are scared of them leaving but they are scared of having new names on the main event... because WWE ratings hasnt really been doing so good they are scared of putting an MVP or a Jack Swagger in the main event because they are not household names yet like a Cena, Orton or HHH

i remember a story about this and thats why they had mvp get that huge losing streak they wanted to see how he would handel it before pushing him to the top and ya i think lesnar leaving wwe was very bad he said why he did in the E:60 interview on tuesday but i hop swagger morrison and ziggler get good pushes wwe needs new stars since some are getting old

The two main reasons, I believe, are backstage politics and the whole Lashley/Lesnar thing. Getting pushed really hard, really fast, and then determine you don't really like the lifestyle and leaving.

lesnar and lashley messed it up for everyone but at the same time helped out let me explain. Both didnt do any favors with by leaving and making it hard for talent to get pushed at the same time if they didnt leave do you think the young talent like John Morrision Swaggar ect. would be getting a creditable push. I guess it was just a give and take i mean would edge or Jeff Hardy be main eventing if lesnar was still there? just some food for thought
