The most important part of the WWE is the talent. These are the people that the fans pay to see. These are ultimately the people also responsible for executing any and all ideas, thoughts and plans for what goes on in promos and in ring.
The good news is that the talent in the WWE is at a high level we haven’t see in a long time. At least on the male side.
The Divas is another story – I will cover them first.
DIVAS
Right now I am going to echo a lot of sentiments other writers and commentators have – the Divas divisions is poor. Is it basically Nattie, Paige, AJ Lee and then a massive drop. The reason for this is really simple.
Nattie, Paige and AJ Lee are trained pro wrestlers. This is what they have chosen to do with their lives. They have wrestled other places besides the WWE, and may do so again. They are products of pro wrestling – with Nattie and Paige coming from wrestling families.
Many of the other Divas are not. They are product of the WWE Divas search, model search or came from other athletic backgrounds and were trained by the WWE. They were never trained to be pro wrestlers, they were trained to be Divas.
FINAL THOUGHTS: DIVAS FAIL.
MEN ROSTERS
The Men’s Roster is extremely deep.
Just look at the Champions: Brock, Wade, Rusev, Cesaro/Kidd. When has the WWE had a better roll call of champions? Not in a while. Admittedly, I am not a fan of Brock or his title reign, but I can’t deny his skill.
In fact even at the bottom of the roster there are excellent performers. Zack Ryder being a standout there, and Heath Slater with him. Both of these guys are great talents that are underused, for no good reason.
In between the Champions and the Bottom we also have guys like Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Randy Orton, Dolph Ziggler, Daniel Bryan, Luke Harper, Kane, even Cena. Let’s not forget how good Erik Rowan has shown he can be.
The Tag Team scene in the WWE is not deep, in terms of the amount of teams there are. It is deep in the talent of those team. Cesaro/Kidd are a good tag team and are doing a fine job as Champs, the Usos are the best team in the WWE and Epico an Primo would excel if the gimmick was dropped.
However I will say the same thing here that I did with the Divas. The top guys on the Roster, and the best, are the one who trained to be Pro Wrestlers by choice – not ones trained by the WWE.
The problem with the WWE isn’t the level of talent, but how that talent is perceived and used. Why are some talent not used better? Is it the fact the WWE doesn’t see anything in them, or does the talent just not have the drive.
We may never know the truth – but the talent level among the men in the WWE is near top notch. For the woman, check out TNA.
