Current Events > Does WWE have too many "Main Event Guys" right now?

(+) Yeah! (+)

It's strange to think of, but there are like 8-10 wrestlers I would love to be a world champ, but you only have 2 titles.

Every guy should be Main Event Guy

No, because you need to be able to deal with injuries. If they didn't have enough top guys, they're kinda screwed if one gets injured. Like how Punk is right now. Or if somebody gets pissed off and walks out tomorrow. You never know. You need enough guys to fill in.

It just sucks that I think some of the people I want to be champ might not get their chance. I want Gunther to be a champ soon.

Jinder Mahal was a Main Event Guy.

None of these people matter. Only who they want to push.

I think that's how it should be really.

Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins and Randy Orton are likely all winding down or doing their own thing away from titles. I'd say Gunther is now making his way to the upper card main event level.

If I think back to 2002 when I was actively watching that was when Stone Cold and The Rock were winding down or leaving while Chris Jericho and Brock Lesnar were being elevated to the main event. Undertaker, Triple H, Kane and Kurt Angle were being utilized where needed. Then not long after that you saw guys like Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit having an opportunity too.

I think they're pushing Gunther hard and it won't be too long for him. He established the Intercontinental Title to a level that Triple H wanted so now he's onto the next thing.

Not any more than they did 20 years ago. The rock, stone cold, Kurt angle, hhh, Chris Jericho, the giant, undertaker, kane

No, that's how it would be. That was one of the biggest problems WWE had for many years. If many people feel like stars, they aren't brought done by not being in the main event. It just makes those side stories that much bigger. It elevates everything upward, and then you have this circle of guys who can pop into the title scene, and also a bunch of combinations for cool feuds.
