I was recently listening to talk is jericho, and a few shows back he had the hardy boyz as guests for two shows. Good listen if you haven't heard it yet.
Anyways, they hit on something that has always been my biggest gripe with WWE's current product. They discuss how back in WWE's hay day through the late 90's and early 200's every person on the card got attention from creative as far as they all had a gimmick, and all had a storyline and were getting over. Now they put all their focus on the main event and don't give the rest of the card the attention it deserves. Those weren't the exact words but pretty close, as i'm paraphrasing. This is something I have complained about for awhile now. WWE puts so much effort in making the top storylines feel big, and get over that the lower parts of the card suffer. They make the point of saying that back when Rock and Austin were on top Vince didn't have to worry as much about the top of the card getting over and was able to work more of the other stuff, and today they seem to have tunnel vision and focus solely on the top angle(s). I totally agree it hurts your overall product, including the mid card titles. If wwe took more time making mid card, and lower card wrestlers, and titles get over. Then it would make the stuff up top look even bigger! I agree with the saying that a team is only as strong as its weakest player. Thats great if the top of the card that covers 10 - 15% of a show is great but if the other 85% comes across as unimportant then it takes away from the whole show.
I will admit lately WWE does seem to be putting more attention on getting the rest of the card over, but I think they could even more. If i watch a low/ mid card feud and say wow this is awesome these guys are great! Then I'll watch the top feud and think that its amazing! This is what i think is the biggest issue with the current product. What do you guys think?
