Vince McMahon has been upset with the product as of late and has been heard complaining about the company's inability to create new stars. During a recent creative meeting, McMahon actually said, "G** D*****! WHY CAN'T WE CREATE NEW STARS?"
Cant say I blame him I mean weve had the same main eventers for 4 years. The only new additions to the main event scene have been Punk, Jeff, and Edge for the most recent.

Cena is obviously passing his peak of popularity for Vince to be saying that, afterall he's been crammed down our throats for the last 5 years.

Well Vince, maybe if you gave fans a reason for caring about them, maybe they'd get over. It would also help if you didn't book them like fools

Got to blame booking on this. Legacy beat HHH on RAW, but when Summerslam comes, they'll (probably) be buried. It's also odd how Morrison was in a WHC match with Hardy one week, yet a low card match with Tyson Kidd the next. They just need to let the stars with potential shine.

Booking is a big part of the problem. Definitely.

Its hard to create new stars when your old stars are the only ones getting pushed.

Lol, I don't know whether to believe this or not. But I agree anyways, they CAN create new stars, they just... aren't.
MVP, Swagger, Bourne, Morrison, Ziggler, Rhodes, DiBiase, Miz and Masters are their "new stars", what are they doing, you ask? Well MVP is doing nothing really, this Swagger feud means nothing though I am enjoying it, there just seems theres no point to it. If they took the belt of Kofi and gave it to one of them, maybe it would put some prestige back into the belt and they would be actually fighting over something. Bourne is jobbing hardcore since moving to Raw. Morrison is winning, but it seems like he's the only guy WWE WANT to push, they did it about 4 times and it's failed miserably, obviously hes a good wrestler but he gets little to no reaction before and now it's improved, but not THAT much and not as much as WWE or WE would like to believe... Ziggler is a good wrestler, he should win the IC title at Summerslam but knowing them, he won't and will turn into Billy Gunn V.2. Rhodes and DiBiase are pretty much that jobbing team with credibility, they will have credibility going into the PPV matches (If they have one) but when its dinner time, they lose and not just lose, they get destroyed, normally by Triple H or John Cena. If they don't have a PPV match, whoever Randy's feuding with just does the burying... Miz has got tons of potential, awesome mic skills and passable inring work. Can somebody tell me why this dude isn't US Champion and Kofi Kingston is? He wasn't even on Raw last night for christ sakes... Chris Masters, like Miz has tons of potential to be HUGE, yet they don't seem to be doing anything with him. He's a small fish in a big pond, he won't be doing anything on Raw, I feel, sadly...

I love how the capitalized it, like he yelled like a mad man. I bet in reality, he said it as a general statement.

Dude, Morrison gets a good reaction. From what I see, better than MVP's.

There are very few of the young guys that are not only ready but capable of taking the ball and running with it. John Morrison is a spot monkey who cannot talk. He is horrible on the mic. MVP is a guy who is right on the brink. His mic work has been solid since day one, in ring he is improving and his face turn is finally seemingly picking up steam. A slow build between now and the Royal Rumble would be very smart for WWE.
Ted nor Cody are anywhere near being ready to carry the ball. I will say that they way Legacy has been booked over the past few months has been horrendous. The concept of the Legacy stable has tons of potential but they have been fed to Triple H week after week and now that they finally beat him in a handicap match on RAW he needs help against them? I smell a squash coming at SummerSlam.
Another issue is that if you need to get younger stars over, it helps when an older is the one putting over the younger star. Last nights RAW had a great example of that when Jack Swagger went over Evan Bourne for the 2nd week in a row. It's one thing to give a young guy a rub but it should not be at the expense of another one of their young talents.
RAW's booking team is continually shooting themselves in the foot, they have no one to blame for the piss poor product other then themselves.

Theres your star. I am not able to understand your love for jobbers... Ryder is far from a jobber. I mean Jesus, the man just main evented ECW a few weeks back and was made out to look like a viable contender against Christian.

Dude, Morrison gets a good reaction. From what I see, better than MVP's. Listen to his pop last night when he pushed Swagger, if you cannot hear those "MVP, MVP, MVP!!" chants, then you're deaf. Morrison doesn't get the "MORRISON, MORRISON, MORRISON!" chants, you know why? Because half of the time, they're popped in and the crowd never once cheered that, so they can't pop it in. And so what if he got a reaction on a houseshow? That's nothing, you got to get a reaction on the TV, and I'm talking a real reaction, not a piped in one... a clearly piped in one at that. And no, I know Morrison is good in the ring, he's just no good on the mic and his reaction is nowhere near compared to MVP's...

If he looked like a viable contender against Christian was because Christian carried him the whole match.
