    Yes but WHY all the part-timers? All this does is stunt (and potentially prohibit) the growth of the younger full-time talent.

    Takes away air time. There are only so.... many hours of t.v./shows for the new/young talent to develop. Unless you think the young talent is not up to snuff and never will be its hard to argue that bringing in all the part-time "help" is going to be good for the long term health of the WWE.

    And if you do believe that is the case then they better start developing young talent FAST b/c these part-timers are old and I imagine they won't hold the attention of fans for very long.

    Not like I used to but I have watched a few Raws in full recently and I wasn't impressed with the story lines/match quality and the shows just felt completely disjointed with little to no real flow to them.

    I didn't see anyone young that looked to have "it" (i.e. someone that could be the next big face/heel for the company).

    There are at least nine hours a week of programming plus NXT. The signing of Sting wouldn't "hold someone down". It'll be like Lesnar if not less. 20 Raw appearances and less than three PPV matches. Or just one final one against Undertaker at WM XXXI.

    Yeah except here is the deal most wrestlers big moments happen during a PPV. If WWE continues to work stories and bigger PPV matches out of all these part-timers the audience will likely care less about a younger superstar at the bottom of the card. Moreover, its X number less spots for your full-time talent to have a PPV match.

    That has nothing to do with the part time wrestlers. That has to do with creative doing a shitty job of building them.

    Simply put. Sting's signing means nothing towards the growth of other wrestlers. He'll probably be on TV less than Lesnar has been, and Lesnar won't be back until the summer most likely.

    From what I'm reading, it'll be likely that Sting only has one, maybe only a couple matches. Might be used in a GM type of role.

    I've been asked to write for a new site Headlocks for Breakfast. To start, I am going to do a weekly power rankings article called The Ten Count. Check it out by clicking the pic below.
