WrestleTalk Question Time

9. Does WWE now have too much talent? @cliffbridges6

do you think the wwe has way to much talent and dont know what to do with them? just like WCW did back in the day when they had all the talent and just a certain few run the show and led to their downfall

Firstly, I never believe a promotion can have ”too much talent”. However, there is a difference between having talent, and having stars. Roman Reigns leukaemia announcement and subsequent departure proved that the company might have a plethora of talent, but they have very few legitimate stars.

At WrestleMania 2000 for example, WWE had so much talent that there was not one men’s singles match on the card. However, no one at the time was saying that WWE had too much talent because they were effectively using everyone at their disposal.

Now, WWE has just as much, if not more talent, but they are not effectively using the guys and girls they have. They have a reliance on part-timers like Brock Lesnar and Triple H, proving how their current crop of stars are not legitimate draws.

Whilst WWE might have a lot of talent, the rise of Baron Corbin to Raw’s main event after Roman’s aforementioned departure has proved that the company lacks stars. WWE’s problem is that they aren’t effectively using the talent they have, not that they have too much talent.
