Wait...am I reading this right?

[The Genesis of KoOS]

The next few months in WWE have been described as a rebuilding period where the company will try to make new stars reports The Wrestling Observer Newsletter. The expectation in the company is that as this takes place they are expecting ratings to drop a little. There are said to be plans in place to bring in more developmental wrestlers from FCW and start them with a purpose as opposed to just putting them on TV and hoping it works out. There has also been discussion about setting a rule where respective creative writers are to only worry about a limited amount of wrestlers on the brand they work for so that it will allow them to do more things with newer talent. Whether or not that will take place remains to be seen. One big expectation is that with four TV shows a week (Raw, ECW, Superstars and Smackdown) and the possibility of a fifth being added is that more of the shows will become very wrestling-heavy.

If only they would have done that a bit sooner...

FCW Wrestler that dont get Video Packages = Jobbers

[blef]

This coupled with the report last week that Steph is apparently asking wrestlers to come up with new ideas for themselves to use on TV is...............kind of refreshing.

[Metalheadbanger Man]

If only Gavin Spears...if only.



Seriously that was messed up, he was really talented.

[Rick Mad]

I'd like to be optimistic, but I'm of the opinion that the quality of the product can't improve if their idea is to take FCW rookies and expect them to perform at the level we expect. The stories may get more interesting and it'll be good to see them try to build new stars but eh.

[Tyfo]

Well lets see, they squandered Colt Cabana, Jay Bradley, Shawn Spears, Sinn, and looking like Steve Lewington (and probably some more) just in the last year.

They better find a way of making the guys they call up seem more important. You could start by not just throwing them out one week and jobbing them. But maybe that's just me.

[Slingshot Suplay]

Weren't they gonna do something with some FCW guys and the Undertaker?

Meh

I think Bradley had a better chance to be honest

[Magician under the moonlight]

Honestly, I don't think it's a good idea. It seems that they are rushing it so it may end up bad.

They need to have the vets start teaching the next generation how to work. it's better than just putting them out there and sink or swim.

It's just that the way they put it. It's more like they'll use them before they are even ready for the big stage. So it would be hard to get them over.

[GaTechGrad]

That's good news... now maybe some of my FCW favorites like Colt Cabana and Nick Sinn will finally get a chance... o wait... nevermind.

[Bub (BLM)]

Dammit. Why does Low-Ki have to be inured now of all times?

You mean Jay Bradley Layfield? The JBL knockoff, complete with huge gut, huge bitch tits, and ridiculously weak lariat finisher? I'm not a Jay Bradley fan.

[Lair of the Shadow MaDaBa]

Let me go on there. I could do good things.

[Janitor From Mars]

Oh, oh, oh, oh. I have an idea!

Take a couple of FCW guys and feed them to the Great Khali!

It'll be fun and ratings will go through the roof!

[Supersmark is a Troll]

Had they done this before they released Cabana I might just have.... Gave a damn.

Jay Bradley and Steve Lewington are still employed. They probably didn't think Shawn Spears and Colt Cabana were good enough as they just jobbed then out like they did James Curtis (and Cabana was released after screwing up in a match), and they gave Sinn weeks of vignettes and a debut win over MVP, but his performance was so sloppy he managed to kill any momentum he had.

At the end of the day, not everyone is going to work in the WWe, and not everyone makes it.
