I think because of all the injuries Vince decided to have these huge rosters he has now so he always has back up players.
I think his biggest mistake tho is not pushing enuff of these guys to main event status!
I agree with you, but a lot of wrestlers start drinking and doing drugs because of wrestling's long grind through out the year and long trips on the road. Some wrestlers become addicted to painkillers because of the daily hurt they put on their bodies (that and some guys can't afford to miss a paycheck) and other wrestlers turn to drinking as a form of escapism during those long nights on the road. Look at Jake "The Snake" Roberts.
