News on the recent pushes and de-pushes of the new younger talent

The Wrestling Observer is reporting that the reason why Kofi Kingston is getting such a big push right now is because WWE officials feel that the company needs an African-American baby face towards the top of the card. After several other talents that were selected for the spot didn't work out the way the company had hoped, the decision was made to give Kingston the big push.

It's also being reported that Jack Swagger's push has been slowed down, and possibly even halted, as WWE officials feel that he is not panning out the way the company had hoped.

As far as Sheamus and Drew McIntyre are concerned, they are getting their respective pushes right now because Sheamus is the work out partner of Triple H, and McIntyre is well liked by both Triple H and Shawn Michaels

What, Swagger isn't panning out as they liked because they keep jobbing him, not giving him any air time, and have basically undone all the work Finlay, Dreamer and Christian went through to make him into a legit star.

Well that's the WWE for you

Actually Swagger isn't coming across that great for me either. I used to like him but he seems to have been forgotten a little right now.

Swagger showed me nothing that made him stand out, he is as bland as a half pound bland cake. Another Ken Kennedy in the making. Push you, push you, push you, you're useless you're fired.
