The answer is they need to push younger guys like Carlito, Shelton Benjamin, CM PUnk, etc...

To an extent, I agree. Although they pushed Benjamin to the moon a couple of years ago, and he still really never got over. Having the physical ability to do what he does will only get him so far. He needs to work on his mic skills.

Carlito was getting HUGE pops up until Wrestlemania, and they decided to keep him off the show.

CM Punk has the potential to be big, but McMahon probably won't do anything with him due to his lack of size and wrestling style. Although they could surprise me, they DID make Rey Mysterio champ!

I just read that Sherri Martel A.K.A. Sensational Sherri died. She was 49. Damn.

Rob Conway was also released becasue Stephanie McMahon thought he was a "Jobber for life." He could have been pushed and made IC champion.

That's the same thing I read. That's a real shame, I always liked her work.

Well, Stephanie is a smart woman...

Conway seemed to have all the tools needed to make it.

 

[karrokid]

this story line with vince is so stupid even the rednecks i work with don't buy it

Steph just got a promotion to head of talent relations,to go along with the with already being head of creative. She was cleaning house. Scotty 2 Hotty, 2 Cold Scorpio(who was use like 3 times since they brought him back), and a few others that that hadn't really been used in a while were shown the door.

The only thing Conway needed was a decent gimmick and some time to get it over.

Scorpio was never really even given a chance. I agreed with Scotty being let go, never really cared for his gimmick or his ring work.

Agreed on Conway.

 

[TacoBellJunkie]

I had always thought that scotty was going to be one of thoes val venis/funaki/al snow "job for life" kinda guys.

 

[Anthrax_Mosher]

Val Venis was actually used good when he first came. He is a former Intercontinental champion. But Funaki ?? Yeah jobber for life.

 

[MikeyBong]

Funaki would have been bigger in WCW, where they knew how to use Cruiserweights.
