I generally don't think that there's anything wrong with wwe having a pecking order that prohibits the lower guys from living up to their full potential in workrate. They are after all their own company and should be free to operate independantly of how other companies have with the same talent. 
But WWE sometimes wants to have it's cake and eat it too. For instance, when WWE buys ECW, hires some of it's stars and makes DVDs using their video library, they're acknowledging all that talent and ability. They back an ECW PPV where they have the freedom to do what they want and work without the usual restrictions. They even tie this into WWE storylines, making it "official". So if WWE is happy to acknowledge these people having these sorts of high impact, gruelling, violent matches, how am I supposed to take seriously the idea of these guys jobbing in standard rules matches to the likes of Chris Masters, Lance Cade and so on? How am I meant to be able to believe that Sabu is going to tap out to a John Cena STF when WWE itself is happy to sell me DVDs and Video On Demand of Sabu toughing it out through much worse?
