I'd have to say over-pushing, but only because it's not THAT often that tag teams dissolve.

Gotta go with tag teams. More often then not when a tag team is difused one member gets the ultimate shaft. Take Charlie Haas for instance or more noteably Marty Janetty. I think breaking up WGTT(although I'm big on Shelton's push) La Resistance and even the UnAmericans(over haricuts none the less) were all mistakes. Duprees singles career never took off and La Resistance just doesn't seem right pairing up a Frenchman and a "French Sympathizer" what's so French about them if one of the members isn't even French?

turning cena face
taking the strap of face eddie
turning eddie heel
turning victoria face
turning randy face / giving him, a title push, then having bastista squash him (huge waste of build up, & heat for ortan AND benot)
booking trip's & eugene over benot WHILE HES WORLD HEAVYWEGHT CHAMPION (which job's out benot and also JOB'S OUT THE STRAP!!!)
moving some of the best cruserweght's too raw (tajiri, helm's)
releasing, jamie knoble
burying the cw strap by puting it, on a old man, then a woman
i can, go on & on

Breaking up tag teams usually leads up to good matches from the former partners (i.e: Kidman/London, Christian/Y2J, Rey/Eddie, Edge/Christian) however when you overpush talent too early something good doesn't happen (i.e: Mordecai, Matt Morgan (in 2003/2004), Nathan Jones) I wouldn't exactlly call Chris Masters getting an early push, all the guy is doing is making jobbers tap to his Full Nelson. There was Steven Richards but the last big win Stevie had was over a year ago against Y2J before Mania XX and that went unnoticed.

I had to go with pushing the new guys like they have. A good example = Randy Orton.

Giving the oompa loompas the titles last year.
Smackdown has still not recovered from Eddy's disastrous title reign, luckily Batista saved RAW.

Explain, exactly, how disasterous Eddie's title reign was.

By "ooma loompa" you no doubt mean, "Highly skilled yet compartively undersized workers in a territory where being huge and somewhat immobile is your ticket to the top."
Eddie and Benoit's runs were awesome.
Also, I voted for giving the newbies the big push. Look at MNM for proof.

I think we should look at not putting the world or wwe title on Booker T or RVD. That is just plain dumb. Could have saved us from the atrocious 02 and 03 title scene's.

Explain, exactly, how disasterous Eddie's title reign was. Eddy's reign drew the lowest average rating in Smackdown history. The ratings were reasonably high when Lesnar was champ but Eddy killed the damn show. In fact Eddy himself got depressed at his failure and Vince was forced to take the title off him and bury him so he would not feel so bad.

Actually, a lot of that had to do with putting Eddy up against everyone's favorite reformed redneck JBL. Now, JBL became one of my favorite people of the moment, but when he was put into the program with Eddy right after two red hot fueds with Lesnar and Angle, it turned a lot of people off. JBL had never been anything more than a mid-range midcarder, and all of a sudden he a title contender because he cut his hair? It's called believability, and not a lot of people bought it at the time.

What does that have to do with anything?The man won the title in one of the best matches of the year,held his own against Kurt angle at Wrestlemnia in another 5-start match,and made JBL a legitimate threat on Smackdown,not to mention one of my favorite current stars.Eddie run was great,despite the actual drama backstage or whatever.The average fan just doesnt know talent when they see it,thats why income was low.The fans,like Vinnie Mac,are addicted to hosses that McMahon has been shoving down our throats.Lesnar wasnt a hoss,but was still a powerhouse.
