Do you agree with my philosophy on wrestling?

Question

News has it that Vince McMahon was upset that R-Truth didn't go over Kenny Dykstra in a squash match but instead let him get some offense. If it had been a squash Killings would have been made to look dominant. Before Killings made his debut there was news that he would be pushed as a top star on Smackdown. Weeks later fans started worrying that WWE would just bury Killings in a matter of weeks. People often complain about wrestlers not getting pushed or not having what it takes to get push. Based on the rumors/news that I reported here's what I think:

Your average WWE wrestler is just as important as WWE makes him out to be.

If WWE builds a debut with promos, plants a new wrestler in the main event and makes him look dominant, then that person could easily achieve greatness in WWE. I don't want people to take my thought process to literally but just tell me what you think. Here's my basic scenario. If R-Truth had made his debut weeks ago, won almost all his matches including some squash matches, attacked the winner or the championship scramble at Unforgiven, and demanded a title shot, would he make a believable #1 contender for the belt and a believable champion? And also do you agree with the statement I wrote above?

Answer 1

I don't think Vince should be too fussed about Killings going over Dykstra in a match that wasn't a squash. We see too many squash matches these days anyway and I believe working one's way to the top is better than just squashing jobbers week after week.

Your average WWE wrestler is just as important as WWE makes him out to be...correct. A wrestler might be the most talented in the world, but if the WWE places him as a jobber, then that's the importance that wrestler possesses within the company, period.

Shelton Benjamin is amongst the best in the WWE. He lacks charisma and the fan interaction that would elevate him as high as perhaps MVP at this stage in his career. His wrestling talent is overshadowed by his lack of charisma, and that's how the WWE makes him out to be. For me, unless Benjamin steps up his game, he won't get anywhere past mid-card.

As for your scenario, I do think he would have made a believable number 1 contender. In fact, your scenario is similar to what Kozlov is doing right now on Smackdown. Kozlov debuted a few months ago, has won almost all his matches and has squashed many opponents. Now if Kozlov was to attack one of the competitors in the scramble, he'd look a threat, simply because his size and strength has already been put over in the WWE, and that's down to how the WWE intended to portray him in the first place.

If R-Truth had done that, he would be a believable contender. Not sure about believable champion as he'd have to get a few big name wins under his belt, but a believable contender yes.
