10 Ways To Save WWE's Failing Stars

Or how to make Eva Marie the most genuinely hated heel on WWE's roster.

One problem World Wrestling Entertainment have in 2015 is a lack of genuine, money-drawing stars. There's no shortage of talent, that's for sure, but it's turning those performers in box office entities that seems to be the problem. Even the chief of WWE, Vince McMahon, has spoken about the need for the talent themselves to stand up and be counted. It seems that McMahon feels many men and women under contract aren't doing enough to get themselves over. Adding more fuel to the fire, The Big Show has previously stated during interview appearances that there's a sense of entitlement with today's pro wrestler. It's a hard subject to fully decipher, because a lot of wrestling fans feel the talent is fine, but WWE just don't know what to do with them. It's not uncommon to hear wrestling critics discussing the idea that Vince McMahon has lost his magic touch. Gone are the days when he could create stars like 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin or The Rock at the drop of a hat. The thing is, WWE have a hell of a lot of talent on their books. Many of those performers are explored here, along with what could be done in order to help them take that next step. WWE badly need more performers who make them money, rather than relying on the WWE brand itself as the strong selling point. Perhaps the ideas contained here could offer a solution.
