I saw RVD's interview with "Off the Record" and he said that what should be happening is TV matches with superstars against blatant jobbers. He said that watching superstars fight a nobody would give superstars a chance to show their skills and get the fans excited about them. He says that the way things are right now, faces and heels have to go up against each other too often and the PPVs lose meaning.

Taxi driver? Wha?
If that was meant as an insult, allow me to point out that your favorite wrestler is John Cena.

I agree with RVD on this point but the reason why you don't see it on TV is there are to many big names that need the camera time. What we need is for the WWE to fail and to go back to the per Vince Jr error were there were regional broadcasts with one or two national shows and we had the wrestlers move around more.

I agree with him, but there needs to be big changes in the whole superstructure of WWE to accommodate that. You need to get jobbers from somewhere, local territories. I'm not sure, but I think there are only one or two of those affiliated with the WWE. Their going to have to go out and hook up with some more of these territorial promoters so that they can have a pool of jobbers where ever they wrestle.
WWE does blow a lot of PPV main events on the weekly shows. I remember this as a reason "Stone Cold" walked out on the WWE once. He was asked to job to Brocke Lesner in a squash match on Smackdown. Austin stated that it wasn't because he wasn't willing to put Lesner over, but that it didn't do anything for any of the parties involved.
1)"Stone Cold" is made to look like a chump.
2)Lesner doesn't look any better because he didn't over come anything.
3)WWE loses money on PPV buys that they would have made otherwise.

That's a good point but I think that was a great selling point for WWE when they went big. I think they need a TV Title again that can only change hands on regular Television then they can save the other title matches for the PPVs.

I agree, look at what happened to December to Dismember, was the LOWEST rating PPV in WWE history. No jobber's, so yeah, it SUCKED!
