6 Problems With Having Triple H As WWE Champion

5. It Confirms That The Talent Pool Is Shallow

At present, we know that WWE's talent pool is incredibly vast. It is like an Olympic sized swimming pool packed with talented performers, all squeezed into it and forcing the sides of the pool to blow out and split. Unfortunately, though, none of these guys are in any deeper than their ankles. The pool might be big - but it's as deep as a puddle at the moment, and having HHH as the number one guy confirms this. Yes, there have been injuries. But there haven€™t been that many injuries. If there were any real focus on creating interesting storylines and characters across the whole of the card, then injuries wouldn't matter nearly this much. There are enough gifted performers in that company to be trusted to carry the programming in the event of catastrophic injuries to top players - they're just not allowed. WWE once knew this. When they lost their talent, they rebuilt, and they did it quickly. WCW rejects became icons of the business, and those who weren't comfortable on the mic let their wrestling do the talking. Today, these lessons seem all but forgotten. Because there is nothing of substance going on across the card (except for maybe the Ambrose and Owens feud), and because 90% of the roster are mid carders that trade wins on a 50-50 basis, there is nobody to rise quickly to the top when needed. Nobody is waiting in the wings for their chance because popularity is stage-managed to the point of madness. We know how good the people on the roster are. Injuries should created an opportunity for the mid card - not the bosses.
