WWE News: Heyman On The Rumble And WWE’s Youth Movement

News

In his latest blog for the UK Sun, Paul Heyman reacts to last night’s Royal Rumble. He praises Randy Orton’s recent performances and the decision to make him the focal point of the company heading in to ‘Mania:

Orton has been chosen by McMahon to be WWE’s focal point heading into this year’s WrestleMania, and bluntly, there isn’t a member of the roster who could possibly be a better choice.

He also talked about what he’s calling WWE’s Orton-led youth movement, pointing out all the young talent with gold (Cena, Punk, Swagger, Morrison and Miz), and all of the veteran talent without it:

Triple H does not have a title, at least not right now. Undertaker, the legendary Phenom, no title. Shawn Michaels, no title. The championships are on the youth.

He also manages to fit an interesting criticism of TNA in there:

Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase are improving every time they perform in front of a crowd and Cryme Time may not be technical marvels, but they’re young, hard working, and a far more contemporary act than anything you’ll see on TNA.
