The failed generation thing is a very good point, considering about 3-4 years ago everyone always said they were going to be World Champions in a year it two, and here we are and none of them were, and if they were the dropped down the ladder quick.I actually remember watching an episode of SmackDown! in 2009 and thinking it would be odd to see Ziggler, Morrison, Miz, Bourne, and a few others in the main event scene and winning World Titles in a few years. Sadly it's about 5 years later and nothing has really changed in the main event scene. The reminds me back in 2002, I told myself it would be strange seeing John Cena as a main eventer/headliner. Mind you, I saw nothing in John Cena at all. He just screamed vanilla and a create-a-wrestler. When I saw he was having PPV matches with The Undertaker (Vengeance 2003) and Kurt Angle (No Mercy 2003), I knew the WWE was beginning to let him flourish as a top guy. It is hard to fathom that Cena was the age I'll be in a couple of weeks back then. If anything, the WWE did a good job building up John Cena from his debut to WrestleMania 21. I feel the same formula could work for other guys. One of the problems the WWE is facing today is they position new main eventers in their 30's. The perfect age to make a new star is between 26-29. This is one of the factors why the WWE struck gold with The Shield. People harp all over how Roman Reigns isn't ready. Was John Cena ready when the WWE strapped the proverbial rocket on his back? Not at all. If/when Reigns gets that rocket on his back, he will be firing off on all cylinders.

Still, yes, Sheamus has an extremely unique look and is a fantastic wrestler. If he just spices up his character a little bit and is built back up, he can easily cement himself as WWE's next top star. I don't think he'll reach that top of the mountain point, sadly... He's only a year younger than Cena. I feel like WWE considers Sheamus/Barrett/Ziggler/Kofi/Miz etc to be a failed generation and is looking solely at the guys like Shield and Bray Wyatt to be the top stars carrying the company forward. Could not agree with this post anymore! Right on
