Ok, I know I go on about this a lot but, it's just getting to the point where it is ridiculous. The WWF is just wasting too much talent and it's getting damn annoying, as the poor individuals involved don't even have another top federation they can go to to help solve the problem.
The problem stems from the main WWF title division where the WWF scriptwriters seem to think that they can have no more than six genuine contenders for the top belt...three heels and three faces. These spots are currently being occupied by Chris Jericho, Kurt Angle and The Undertaker (heels) and The Rock, Stone Cold and Triple H (faces). Plus a couple of guys who spend their whole time jobbing to this top six, Rikishi and Booker T seem to be filling these rolls at the moment. The end result of this is the rest of the roster hits a glass ceiling. The likes of Edge, Rob Van, Tazz and maybe even William Regal should be being pushed into main events, but they can't get their because, unless one of the big six gets injured, there is no room for them to go upwards.
The case of Kane is perhaps even worse, he's in the best shape and form of his career and the WWF won't give him a shot at a title, a decent match or anything other than taking the mick out of him backstage! He should be at least worthy of an intercontinental title shot?
Which brings me nicely to The Intercontinetal title, which is rapidly becoming a joke. William Regal is in probably the worst form of his career since coming to the WWF and is rewarded with a title run? Go figure...Lance Storm was a pretty lame champion too and I say that as a huge fan of Lance's. I thought the IC title was supposed to be a springboard for future champions? OK Edge granted is all this, but giving hima feud with RegaL that no-one wants to see?
I'm not even gonna address the European division. Although the two most recent champions Christian and DDP are somewhat better wrestlers than we are used to seeing at the head of the division that in the past has given us The Hurricane, D'Lo Brown and even Mark Henry as champion...
The Hardcore division is even worse, it has laid in ruins since Undertaker took the title from RVD and has for one reason or another not bothered to defend the title. We need someone to surprise Undertaker and take the belt off him, even if it takes a lot of help doing it. Someone like Maven, perhaps, to bing the title back where it deserves to be, down among the low-carders who are more likely to pull off really good hardcore matches, cos they'll do almost anything to get noticed.
The Light-Heavyweight division needs a huge influx of talent to get it going. Maven qualifies for this division so why not give him a title shot? At least he would generate some interest in a title that the WWF seems to have forgotten about.
The Tag Team division is struggling too. Has Paul Heyman been put in charge of this? I ask because whoever is in charge seems to be using the old old old ECW storyline of Spike teaming up with ANYONE to try and get one over on his brothers, which WAS amusing...but only the first time around...
Point being...the WWF has some great wrestlers that aren't being used. Perry Saturn is as talented a competitor as I have ever seen lace up the boots yet all he gets is matches on Metal! He's not even deemed good enough for HeAT match?
Mind you...at least he's got one betterc than the card that was dealt to the likes of Raven, Justin Credible, Tommy Dreamer, Stevie Richards et al. All good talented wrestlers, all removed from the WWF top level roster. Get it together WWF.

Great post Cong with a great point. Raven has been one of my fave wrestlers for a long time, but yet the WWF won't see that he's talented. Maven is just a joke, he comes and gets a title shot shraight away(i think)! What are they thinking.
