It's all hypothetical, of course, but if WWE had some true competition (sorry, TNA), it's not outside the realms of possibility that guys like Dolph Ziggler or Zack Ryder would be looking to explore other options. Say WCW was still around today, the likes of Ziggler may be tempted to jump ship, because it's blatantly obvious that WWE don't see him the same way the robust star sees himself. This directly correlates with how WCW did business, leaving several talents scratching their heads and wondering why they were trying so hard. Names such as Booker T and Chris Benoit were consistently overlooked by company management for the top spots, at least until it was too late for them to make a difference. It's cool that WWE want to protect talent and stop them from tanking as genuine headliners, but they're going to need to take the risk. If the same mentality had been in force when the likes of Triple H, The Rock and Steve Austin were around, the promotion would have missed out on millions.
