During all the years I have been with the feds my character has only had one title; The World Heavyweight Championship. TDA somehow (and this is not my doing) became almost godly. He has won almost all of his matches lately and almost every match he lost was due to an interruption.
I think a guy like Shaz could benefit from that slow build and develop his character more, and season him up to be a veteran. And I think that inactive talents should be utilized if they are needed for a story-line. All we are really doing here is writing a book anyway and the creative, whether you like it or not, are the Authors of this series of chapters we read. When EWNCW started there were only a few active people and over 20 or 30 inactive people on a stacked roster. EWNCW made it work and they ran with it. If I could I would love to face an inactive person. The work load would be doubled but you could make some of the best segments without waiting 100 days for the other person to get back to you with their part. I would love to feud with somebody like Dubs (which was originally planned but cancelled) or even somebody like Bodom, TBOZ, Rich Cranium, and so on. I think name value alone is enough to carry these wrestlers onward. If... Lets say Bear suddenly became inactive at the height of his characters career. Then he got put in a match against somebody new and has only done 5 or so shows... Your first impression would be that Chris Divine is going to demolish him. You are not thinking about the new guy pulling off an upset.
Basically.
All of this.
I had a few undercard, I suppose they would be, feuds. But never had the luxury of feuding for one of the mid-card titles. I suppose the powers that be thought I was good enough to move up to the main event.

But I did have some good feuds. Solla, Primus Khan, and that Battle of the Newcomers, I was in, that was great.

Plus feuding with TBOZ, before my abrupt departure, was a lot of fun.
