As we've been seing lately, talented wrestlers like D'lo Brown, Chaz, K-Kwik, Tazz and even Too Cool, are not being used very much, due to the huge roster of the WWF.

Now, there's no problem with having a big roster, but the WWF are set to sign 3 more wreslters from other companies!!

ECW (Extreme Championship Wrestling) haven't put on a show since January 4th, and are failing due to the lack of money.
So, the WWF have decided to snap up three of their top superstars: Justin Credible, Rhino and Jerry Lynn.
Justin Credible appeared on RAW last night on the side of X-Pac in the USA. Credible is a former ECW Heavyweight Champion, and probably ECW's best talent.

Rhino, who is set for WWF Television very soon, IS the current ECW Heavyweight AND Television Champion.

Jerry Lynn will also appear soon, and he is also big in the ECW.

The WWF are also trying to sign up WCW's top wreslter Goldberg, and other superstars from WCW.

Now is it me, or are the WWF either getting greedy, or have too much talent for their own good??

Of course, the WWF is better than WCW and ECW, but these other federations have a lot of fans, and if WWF just start stealing there wrestlers, we'll end up with just one big federation and too many wrestlers!!

Also, I feel that the WWF concentrates too much on the big superstars such as The Rock, Angle, HHH, Austin, Taker, Kane and Y2J.

I mean, you could easily fit 2 matches such as Too Cool vs Lo-Down and K-Kwik vs Tazz, instead of a 20 minute interview to sort out the main event for RAW and Smackdown!

It may be some people's views, that the interviews are better, but what about the average WWF fan?? What about people like me, who support teams such as Too Cool??

What are your views on this topic??

Thanks for reading, Ant.

Did you know that the WWF told Paul Heyman to take a similar role to the king eg. fancying the women, siding with the bad guys like Ice Blaster said.
Probably so that Paul and JR would have something to say and argue about.
weird huh.

Well this has turned into a commentator topic, still you should talk about the roster too!

Paul Heyman is pretty much the same as King was. He sucks up to the boss and fancies all the chicks. JR is pretty boring if you ask me!

Does anyone remember when Vince Mcmahon used to commentate ha ha, he was so over the top with everything he said, he would exagurate all the time much like Jim Ross does now and again. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Has anyone noticed that when Jim Ross gets really excited his voice sounds as though he has a frog stuck in his throat ha ha, take Armageddon for instance when they were all on top of the cage and it looked as though H H H was going to get knocked off the top, you couldn't understand him hardly lol.
He's still a good commentator though.

You missed of Kevin Kelly. I think Paul Heyman is the best commentator.

First of all i think Tazz should stop being a commentator and be given a push as a title holder like European or even Intercontinantel?

Thought i would bring this forum back up, as it is still a big topic for the WWF.

WWF's roster was very big when they started this topic, but with Road Dogg and Grand Master sexay fired, Lawler and Kat walking out, Viscera, D'lo, Chaz, Headbangers, Mideon, Mean street posse and the British Bulldog all having there contracts terminated, the roster has decreased some what. Also with the new WCW, some less used superstars may be of there. This would sort out the current roster.

It is godd to see some good talent such as Jericho and Benoit have been pushed to main event status. We also saw the Hardyz have a push a month or so back. We seem to see less or wrestler like Crash, Blackman and Tazz now, so i think they could be used more. What do you lot think

But has anyone else noticed that the most enjoyable matchs rarely feature the Rock, Undertaker, Kane, or Stone Cold? HHH is better, because of his wide range of ground moves, but his protecting steph is getting boring.

The best matches of the last year have been the Hardy/Dudley/E+C Ladder matchs, and the Jericho VS Benoit matches. Note none of these involve stone cold or the rock.

Well actually, I have seen Austin nail the Austin Elbow Drop a few times, and HHH has such a huge range of ground moves (unlike Rock), that he doesn't need top rope moves.
