Anyone else get the feeling that certain parts of the roster are being overused on TV? Look at ECW this week: You had Punk, Kofi, The In-Crowd, Priceless, Matt Hardy, Mark Henry and Jamie Noble. All of whom made their mark on Raw the previous night. Now while I guess it shows the company's faith in these guys to let them run with it. It also means a lot of lower/midcard people who are going without time to wrestle and to get over. Why bring up so many new people if they're not going to be used  |

Just about all the young guys on both Raw/ECW got time last night. |

the only person from the New Talent Initiative that i dont recall seeing on tv the last 2 days was Gavin Spears, but i understand what the OP is getting at.
Also, with the glut of talent that is/was down in developmental, people HAD to be called up. it sucks that they called a lot of them up, didn't really give them gimmicks, and expect them to get over, but that's the WWE's fault.

Well, on Raw you've got D'lo, Paul London, Deuce, Chuck Palumbo, Paul Burchill and Katie Lea who have a hard time even getting on the show.
It's not just who doesn't get TV time, but how much TV time is given. If you're gonna have a whole bunch from the Raw roster wrestle on ECW, then don't have them on Raw that week so other people can have more than 2 minutes bell-to-bell.

I...could kind of go without seeing Morrison and Miz twice a week. Add in the weekly Dirt Sheet and these two are really over exposed for me. I like 'em but I'm seeing them way too often.
