It's just a situation where WWE has opted to do whatever they feel is best for the overall company whenever they feel like it. The continuity can sometimes make your brain ache, but WWE is in the business of promoting and marketing themselves first and logic has to take a backseat to that in their minds.
Who were the Rosatti Sisters?
The Rosatti sisters were a trio of sisters who lived in the Northeast and were huge WWF fans. They became friendly with the company and at times were used in comedy vignettes with Bobby Heenan. They never "worked" for the company as employees but were more fans who crossed over into a few appearances in the early 1990s. I haven't noticed them at events in a number of years.
I love the Edge character with one exception. The spear as a finisher? Really? When a guy like Goldberg or Rhino hit the spear it was believable to end matches because of their size and the force in which they hit it with. But Edge, while easily the best heel in wrestling today, when he delivers the spear it really looks like more of a drop to the ground tackle. Do you think Edge needs a new finisher or a return to an old one like the downward spiral or edgecution.
I disagree. The spear is a move that Edge, the sneaky jerk, can hit out of nowhere at anytime. I think if anything he's made the move more of his own than anyone else that has ever used it and since Goldberg hasn't wrestled in 5 years, it's hardly his move to lay claim to anymore.
Since the end of the Attitude Era, only one WWE faction (Evolution) seemed to develop its younger members (Randy Orton and Batista) into PPV headliners. Orlando Jordan, the Basham Brothers, Mark Jindrak, Luther Reigns, Curt Hawkins, Zack Ryder, Bam Neely, Chavo Guerrero, Elijah Burke, Marcus Cor Von, Matt Stryker or Kevin Thorne experienced any long-term growth with The Cabinet, Team Angle (Part Deux), La Familia or The New Breed. (And let's ignore the Spirit Squad). Instead, the younger members were viewed as cronies to a main-eventer... rather than talent to elevate. Such is the case, currently, with The Legacy. If Rhodes gets hit with one more spinebuster, I'm going to bust my TV. My question is this: I know their second generation last names help their chances, but do Ted and Cody have anything to gain from being in this group, or are they one step away from being "future endeavored?"
I don't believe they are a step away from being released unless they screw up. Internally, they are seen as future players, especially DiBiase. The company feels they work hard and they maintain themselves while working against other main event players. Their role is seen as one that will help get them over to the masses as legitimate stars down the line.
I read that article you guys had linked about Cena on the Sun mag. And just a few minutes ago I was listening to the Dave Scherer's Audio about Joey sucking up to Vince, and it made me wonder about something I read in that Cena article where he said there are ppl in the company that don't like him and are waiting for him to leave. (Exact quote: "In WWE, there's a lot of folks who like me and a lot who don't, and those that don't are just waiting for me to leave.") So my question to you guys is this. Are there a lot of guys in the WWE that really are not high on Cena? And is it based on who he is, or just your normal wrestler issues with guys wanting another guy's spot?
There's always going to be professional jealousy and there's always going to be people trying to politically steal another's spot, but to me, when Cena made those comments, he was just throwing stuff out there to get attention and make a splash. It would be suicide for anyone within WWE to not want Cena around since he drives so much of their merchandise and licensing these days.
