WWE's Undercard, Where Veterans Go To Die

There is something going on in the WWE right now that I can't decide if I am happy with or not. 

While the WWE can be given credit for recently pushing many newer stars like Drew McIntyre, Sheamus, Kofi, Punk, and Ziggler, there is certainly something to be said for how they are treating their veterans.

I'm not talking about HBK, Undertaker or HHH, the guys who get pushes no matter what, I'm talking about guys like Finlay, Chavo, Dave Taylor, and Mark Henry. 

I know that Henry has been featured more notably on Raw, but he is still not in a position to win a title anytime soon. 

Chavo is a guy I feel is being totally mishandled.  His ongoing feud with Hornswoggle is just plain stupid at this point, and his streak of losses is piling up faster than lines at the stores this past Friday. 

He is a great wrestler, probably better than 90 percent of the roster, but because his look isn't quite right, he is pushed down.

Vince likes his guys to be muscular and good looking, Chavo is smaller than most and his receding hair line is not helping him any.  After Eddie died, he was given a brief boost but that soon faltered and Rey got the bigger push.

I love watching Chavo wrestle guys like Punk and Mysterio because not only is he up to their level, he is above it.  He may not be as good of an "Entertainer" as some of the names mentioned, but his in ring skill is second to none and he is from a legacy of amazing wrestlers. 

WWE missed the boat on putting him in Legacy because his family history in wrestling goes back as far as the McMahons.

I know I'm probably not going to get my wish, but If this is how the WWE plans on treating Chavo for the rest of his career, then he should just go to TNA and have more of a smaller spotlight.  He would be with family too, Hector announces for their Spanish team.

Chavo was once a great superstar who held titles like the tag, Cruiserweight and ECW titles, now he is fighting a midget every week.  Whats wrong with this picture?  I'm all for equal opportunity employment but the WWE has been using Horny for too long and its time to put him out to pasture. 

As for Finlay, the WWE touts him as a tough-as-nails Irishman, but it seems like they only ever have him win a match, if he will lose to the same guy the next week. 

He is used as an "enhancement talent" which is not a bad thing if that's what he wants, but I think he is more deserving of a push than Regal, who is looking to take the ECW title.

Finlay is one of those rare talents who have continued to get better every single year.  He can have a great match with just about anybody, and his long career tells a story of achieving your goals by pure grit and determination.  If anyone should take the title from Christian, it's Finlay. 

Mark Henry has been around for over 10 years and has only held two titles, the ECW Title and the now-defunct European Title.  The WWE's first Olympian is being treated like he has no value at all. 

I realize that compared to other huge men like Big Show he isn't as entertaining to watch, but he has gotten better over the last few years and seems to have a new vigor with his new team with MVP.

He seems primed to win tag gold soon with Montel, which would be a step in the right direction, but for a 10 years veteran with WWE he has held less gold than anyone else with the same career. 

Dave Taylor is known to many as the man who debuted Drew Mcintyre on Smackdown a while back.  This debut of course sank and Dave was released and Drew was sent back to developmental. 

This was a good thing for Drew as he is now featured prominently on Smackdown these days, but what happened to Dave Taylor?

He is currently hitting the Indy scene but has no real contract or deal with anyone.  This vet is one of the better mat technicians in the world, and yet he has no place to call home. 

He is very popular in Europe but they have no real organizations to support his talent over there.  He could do well in Japan, where they still treat pro wresting like a real sport, but I don't see him making a permanent move.

Dave Taylor is up there with Regal and Finlay in skill, he just doesn't have the personality or charisma to be a top guy, but he is certainly better than he is given credit for.

Just my thoughts on the way some vets are treated.  What do you guys think?
