WWE Needs to Fix Their Overly Stacked Roster

Image result for wwe roster greatest royal rumble

The heading to this post seems contradictory because one would think that an majorly stacked roster is good for business. In a way yes, it is good for business, however, there are reasons that it is not. Here are some of those reasons.

Talent does not make it to pay-per-view shows
There are over 35 Superstars that should have been on the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view this past Sunday but were for no reason at all...were missing. Whatculture did a list of 25 superstars. Whether you think of 25, 35, or 50…the truth is that there are too many Superstars that did not make it to the pay-per-view this past weekend.
Talent becomes dissatisfied because they do not make it to the pay-per-view
Former Universal Champions Kevin Owens and Finn Balor did not make the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view. Former WWE Champion Jinder Mahal and Former WWE and current United States Champion Shinsuke Nakamura did not make it to the pay-per-view this past Sunday. Two-time SmackDown women’s champion Naomi, Royal Rumble Winner Asuka and former Women’s Champion Carmella did not make it to the pay-per-view either. Oh, and the returning Nikki Bella who is supposed to headline Evolution did not make it to the Hell in the Cell pay-per-view because I guess it is not important to build up her strength on the main roster or reassert her presence in the WWE? Oh, and don’t forget former tag-team champions the Bar and the Usos were absent from Hell in a Cell as well.

Now, of course, a good chunk of the aforementioned talent will likely not leave the WWE. However, the truth is now more then ever...that is not certain. Cody and Brandi have shown that couples can go to the Indys and reinvigorate themselves into wrestling phenomena. Imagine if the Usos and Naomi entered the independent scene with Naomi as their manager. That would be ABSOLUTELY GOLDEN! Fans would love to see the personas the trio can take on with more creative control and exposure. Remember when made the SmackDown women's championship glow and the fans went crazy for it! Exactly! The positive remarks surrounding the belt overshadowed any discipline the WWE planned on handing down to Naomi. 

Imagine the Usos w/ Naomi vs. the Young Bucks…tag-team magic.
Solution
      The WWE needs to figure out a way to incorporate their entire roster so they can retain their talent. The list of Superstars left off of Hell in the Cell can have their own separate pay-per-view. Perhaps the WWE can keep combined brand pay-per-views but showcase different feuds on different cards to keep all talent working. Maybe they can reinvigorate ECW or WCW to give a true battle of the companies feel. This can ensure that more talent gets a chance to shine. It is difficult, but this is the result of WWE gobbling up talent so they are not on the independent scene. WWE has enough inactive and underutilized talent to create an entire separate wrestling promotion. The brand split is a start, but they need something more. The answer may be regular all women and regular all men pay-per-views. Maybe one each month. That may help get more talent seen.

      This is a topic that needs a lot of brainstorming, however, something needs to be rectified because WWE will soon lose talent the same way the lost Cody and Neville. The WWE’s roster has so many superb performers that can thrive in the Indys…they need to give them all of their shine before it’s too late. Plus…they can afford it.

SummerSlam 1988 – Since we are just a few weeks away from SummerSlam 2012, I believe it is only appropriate to take a look at the very first one.

Long before I was born, okay two years before I was born, but long before I was thought of I’m sure, there was the great SummerSlam 1988. This is the historic night that set the precedent for the subsequent 22 almost 23 SummerSlams. What were the matches on that night? I’m glad you asked! The British Bulldogs (The late Davey Boy Smith and The Dynamite Kid) vs. The Fabulous Rougeaus (Jacques and Raymond), this tag team match ended in a draw. Okay Answer for 1000 points, who are the Fabulous Rougeaus? Don’t worry I’ll wait. Buzz!!! The Fabulous Rougeaus were a tag team, duh! They were in the WWE for a short time but Jacques went on to become one half of the very popular Quebecers. Okay semi-popular Quebecers. But hey they were three time WWE tag team champions, three more than the Rockers. But in comparison to popularity…I guess championships really don’t matter *shrugs shoulders*. The late Bad News Brown defeated Ken Patera. Both of these wrestlers won competitive ...

Natalya

Okay Okay let’s talk the real! Can I just say that Natalya’s losing streak is ridiculous? And, adding insult to injury, have you seen her promos?? Especially with her farting ew TACKY! I mean really, what is that about?  Before we talk about Natalya’s competition let’s look at her credentials! She’s the daughter of the legendary Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart, the granddaughter of Hall of Famer Stu Hart, and the niece of WWE Hall of Famer Bret “Hitman” Hart. But that’s just her lineage, which beats any other WWE Superstar, male or female…I’m just saying. She is the first and only female graduate of the infamous dungeon. Anyone who is a real wrestling fan knows of The Dungeon…well if you’ve been under a rock for the last 20 years, then I’ll update you! The Dungeon was located in the mansion of Stu & Helen Hart and is where Davey Boy Smith, Bret and Owen Hart trained and undoubtedly developed their signature moves.  Yes, Bret Hart, can you say “Excellence of E...
