That's the sole purpose of the youth movement! To build up young midcarders and make them seen like a viable threat to main eventers regardless of their position in the company!
It's one thing to be a viable threat to a main eventer. It's a different thing to have a midcarder defeat the world champion. John Morrison took Christian to the limit and had a great showing. That's how you make a midcarder credible, step by step. Christian has a PPV title match in a few weeks, how would the champion losing to a midcarder inscrease PPV Buys...?
Your philosophy would make titles meaningless since the champions lose to midcarders anyway. Which leads us to...

Having a kayfabe championship on your waist doesn't make you better or more talented that anyone by any means. You're basically telling me that Orton, while holding the belt, was better than Daniel Bryan?
It's hilarious and bizarre how the business coming out of the closet has created a new kind of mark.
The wins and losses aren't there to please the smarts. It's a fictional world. You're complaining that Morrison lost his kayfabe match yet you're saying that the kayfabe world title doesn't mean a thing. Of course it doesn't make you a legit MMA Champion - but in the fictional world, it does make you the best, yeah.
The way you put things, it's like saying that the character Neo from the Matrix should have lost to Agent Smith because Hugo Weaving's a better fighter in real life. It's not about real life, it's a fictional world, you need to get a grasp on reality.
It's never, EVER going to be about ''who's the more talented athlete?". Get that through your head. It's always going to be about "what does the audience want to see? What would make a good story? What would make money?".

John Cena, CM Punk and Randy Orton are established main eventers FYI.
So whats' your complaint? You said the WWE failed with the youth movement, yet you point out three young wrestlers (34, 32 and 31 years old respectively) who are the faces of the company right now. What are you smoking?
BTW, John Morrison, the guy who you think should be getting pushed for being young instead of these old fogies..? HE'S THE SAME AGE AS RANDY ORTON.

Daniel Bryan winning MITB doesn't equal a push for him. His chances of actually cashing in are slim because WWE haven't done any kind of effort to build him up in the first place and that's the same shit that happened to Swagger.
Acting like you can see into the future is stupid. Don't do it. So far, Bryan has built up nothing but momentum following his victory. If he cashes it in (and you're absolutely nobody to say what the chances are of him doing that) at Wrestlemania, as it's scheduled right now, it's a huge deal.

Dolph Ziggler already got his push. He's a former World Heavyweight Champion( ten minutes, yay!) and has been downgraded to the midcard since.
So because he won the world title once means he's never going to do it again? What's wrong with you...?
Look at names like Chris Jericho, Rey Mysterio, Kane... guys who have won world titles, got "downgraded" and then came back up to become better than ever. Dolph Ziggler is 31 years old and has won the WWE World title. For the record, Shawn Michaels won his first world title... when he was 31. Chris Jericho won his first world title also at 31. Hm. Makes you think, huh?

McGillitunga are champions solely because WWE doesn't care about the the Tag Team Division as it's pretty much dead and show no signs of getting pushed any further.
Again, you pretend like you can see the future, and I have to again point out that you can't, FYI. Whether you like it or not champions are faces of a company and my point is, whether the tag titles are important right now or not, the company is focused on young guys. New Nexus was challenged by the Usos this week. Daniel Bryan and Wade Barrett started a feud. Sheamus started a feud with Mark Henry which he will obviously win. etc.

Ezekiel Jackson got pushed for flexing his arms and doing basic moves like bodyslams that require little to no wrestling ability whatsoever, which is what McMahon seeks in a wrestler.
What's your point? He's still young.

Christian has been with the company for 17 years so I don't know why the fuck would he be part of The Youth Movement.
Well he's a new main event star, for one. But also,
A company focused only on young wrestlers would be a moronic idea anyway. You need veterans. Christian's got your back.

The only one I can agree with is The Miz. Just because they're putting the belts on untalented hacks like Jackson and Otunga or giving half-assed pushes doesn't mean it's a fantastic job.
You're ignoring the U.S. title on Dolph Ziggler, the money in the bank briefcase for Bryan, the recent IC title reign of Barrett, the main event WWE title matches with Morrison, the Royal Rumble winner Alberto Del Rio, the instantly pushed Sin Cara...
Yeah, Jackson and Otunga are champions. Life's not perfect. So what? You said "so much for the youth movement". That's an extremely pessimistic - and well, just wrong - view of things.
