Why can't WWE find another batch of surefire stars like this?

Tista and Orton were considered huge failures until hunter picked them up, Cena went through 100 gimmick changes that nobody remembered until he got forced onto the people and Brock was the only exception because he was a genetic freak

They have genuinely changed the way their talent acquisition works. They want wrestlers for life instead of wrestlers who will make it big then leave to do their own shit. Basically what I mean is they're deliberately picking up people who aren't as good as who they had previously

People who want to get into wrestling these days are faggots like Jack Cartwheel who jack off to Nu Jamal shit from the 90's. If Brock was born 10 years later he would have gone straight into MMA and never have become a pro wrestler.

They were consistently booked strongly. Literally that's it. You give Cena/Batista/Orton shitty booking like 2010s callups got and they'd washout, too. Orton's still a shitty anti-draw as it is.

They are temporary stop gaps. Kinda like what Trips and Benoit were before Cena and Batista were ready. The future of WWE is Rex Steiner and the Creed bros.

Because this OVW class was a true anomaly. You had one of the greatest and most intimidating athletes in the history of mankind in Brock, a genuine GOAT candidate in Cena and a third-generation natural in Randy. Batista had a fantastic look, but is pretty unremarkable next to the other three.

This class won't be repeated and it'll always be legendary. From now, there will be maximum 1-2 guys from each crop that stand the test of time, for example I could see Grayson Waller having a great career.

This is always funny to hear given how few wwe top guys worked well in Hollywood. Hogan failed. Macho Man barely tried. Bret failed. Shawn does dvd parodies. Austin failed. Cena is kinda doing it. HHH failed. Roman isn’t trying currently. Warrior never did. I’m stretching hard on the meaning of top guy, but people overestimate how easy wrestlers translate to Hollywood once they get pro wrestling popularity.
