As much as I love the CM Punk character and his mission for change in the WWE, there is no change that will fix the true issue, at the core of the WWE: The Developmental System. Look back to the years from (I'd say) 1996 to 2005-ish. This time period saw the popularity of Pro Wrestling at an all-time high. Why? Because until WWE bought WCW, there was competition, and after WWE bought WCW, the WWE had a massively deep roster. Everybody felt like they were, could be, or had at one point been a Main Eventer, and it kept them relevant and made even mid-card storylines matter.

John Morrison's Future Endeavors
If you haven't heard, John Morrison has a contract that is soon going to run out. If the WWE re-signs him, that's wonderful, both for him and for the big 'E. Morrison is a very talented athlete, and could undoubtedly be groomed into a top draw if given the opportunity. There's something very Shawn Michaels-esque about his character. If the WWE would put some effort into emphasizing his strengths - his athletic talent and his willingness to use his body as a weapon - he could turn into the next Jeff Hardy (without the drugs), or better yet, the next Shawn Michaels. Michaels was never a great promo cutter. He was articulate most of the time, but Mick Foley he was not. Michaels is (and always was) a gifted athlete who worked his ass off to make sure the audience got what they paid for. And that's what Morrison is - or, at the very least, can turn out to be.
