Is the spectacle of a returning Undertaker, a semi-retired HHH, a debut for a past-his-prime Sting, and a part-time World Champion undermining the marketability of the current, full-time wrestlers? Are WWE branding these guys with a "Not good enough for Mania" stamp? Should a Daniel Bryan, or even a Dolph Ziggler, be thrown into a clusterfuck match for a midcard title with little to no value? Those are the guys you'll have to book the company around when Sting, Taker, HHH, and maybe Brock go AWOL after Mania.
I've said it before but the issue is that the full-time wrestlers haven't been built up well at all through the other 11 months of the year. WrestleMania SHOULD be a spectacle. The most uninteresting match on the card should be a big deal on any other PPV. The problem isn't that the full-time guys aren't being featured over the part-timers. The problem is that the full-time guys have been built so awfully since last years WrestleMania (and for years before) that featuring them at WrestleMania over guys who are true stars would be ridiculous.

Basically, WrestleMania isn't the time to try to convince the world that guys like Dolph Ziggler are a hot commodity by suddenly treating them like something special. It's the time to reap the benefits of building them up to the point where a major spot on the WrestleMania card makes sense and draws people's attention.
