Just though I'd jot down a few thoughts about my biggest gripe with the WWE product as it stands. Believe it or not, it has nothing to do with HHH holding the title for 99% of a given year, or useless wrestlers like Batista being shoved so far down our throats that he couyld pleasure us from the inside.
No, what really gets my goat it the poor gimmicks the creative department are paid to come up with are actually all stolen. They're not even creative enouygh to steal from other, more 'cutting edge; feds, they just go back and watch their own tapes from seven years ago and recylcle everything.
Here's a selection of the current roster and who they are 'paying homage' to.
Simon Dean - The Bodydonnas
Hassan - Iron Sheik
La Resistance - The Quebecors
Big Show - Andre The Giant
John Cena - PN News
Eugene - George 'The Animal' Steele
Mark Jindrak/Chris Masters - Lex Luger
I'm pretty sure there are others, but I'm having a mental block. Where on earth does Steph find these 'creative geniuses'?

Only works for certain wrestlers who can convey that 'pure wrestler/real athlete' aura.

in the WWE he was a wrestler first then became the commissioner to Mr McMahon
was Regal a wrestler then GM or the GM then a wrestler? Was it him who gave Tajiri his first match, wasnt he like his bodyguard or something?
he lies, he cheats and he steals.... he's Repo man :)
Angle invitational - Razor Ramon did this kind of thing ages ago, which lead to the career birth of the 1-2-3 kid (X-pac)
Viscera - er... Viscera.
William Regal - a watered-down Lord Steven Regal (granted it's the same guy, but they nicked it from WCW. when WWF first contracted Regal they gave him a builder gimmick as a "mans man".. it was all a little bit "village people" for my liking)
on the same line, HHH's original character was a lift of Lord Steven Regal.
