Short term money, not long term money, and that's the problem.

Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. He would elevate them.

Expose what, exactly? The exceptional ring work of Dolph and Bryan would be exposed? Really? If anything, he'd carry Ryback, who'd have few words and speak with his hands anyways. You're just old and curmudgeonly. Guys like you are why guys can't get out from under the old guards shadow.

You're talking about one of the top 5 personalities in

Lol. Biggest star ever, but he can't elevate anyone. Gotcha. Do you realize how dumb that sounds? That's the whole point of matching those guys with someone like him. Yes, they'd do just fine in that spotlight if given the opportunity. Dolph and Bryan and Ryback are all over in different ways and the fans would respond to them in a feud with Rock. Dolph would make himself intensely hated. Bryan's quirks would work similarly to Kurt Angle, and Ryback would bring a physical intensity nobody outside of Brock could bring in a match with Brock. It would work well with all three guys. You're old and lack any perspective or insight or outside the box thinking with this generation. You're Vince McMahon.

>Rock/Cena makes the most sense. It's the biggest

No, it creates money by elevating stars to a higher level for the long term. Long money is smart money, not short money.

>The issue with the undercard guys isn't Rock

I didn't say that though.

>that WWE has been shitty with building guys up to be stars
>over the past 10 years.

...Which is why you use a guy like Rock help build them. It's not rocket science.

>They sorta succeeded with Ryback, but
>losing to Punk over and over again has hurt his momentum
>(getting laid out Monday night didn't help either).

Yes, the fans are so caught up in that. That's smark talk and nothing more. He's fine.

Ziggler
>has jobbed over and over again. He beats Cena on PPV and
>nobody still cares. You're going to then place him in a feud
>with Rock? Ok.

People care. He puts guys over and people are always into his matches. You're the "It's Still Real To Me, Dammit!" guy, aren't you? You have to be with such a paltry excuse for logic. You still think wins and losses mean shit. How many times did HBK get the shit kicked out of him and lose? Hell, his last two big time matches were just that. No, Dolph is getting a divided crowd these days and it's because his ring work is fucking great.

Look, you're not a creative guy. You can't see the forest for the trees. Forward thinking that doesn't merely run to the easiest solution isn't a strong point with you. It's ok. There's no shame in that, Hoss, so go home, throw on some USWA Wrasslin' tapes and watch Jerry Lawler enthrall simple-minded, backwoods yokels with his flying fist drop of doom.
