Right now, WWE seems to be in a bit of a lull. A couple factors go into this: they are coming off the backend of Wrestlemania and they a suffering through some major injuries to some major superstars. The good news for WWE is that both of these problems will solve themselves at around the same time...this summer.
Think of this:
Over the course of the next couple months, we will see the return of some major superstars. Rey Mysterio, Triple H, and (my favorite) MISTAAAAAA KENNEDY will all be returning and receiving main event roles in WWE programming. There are also reports that WWE would like to sign Chris Jericho in time for Summerslam. These main event superstars can provide much better mainstream interest than Bobby Lashley, the Great Khali, or Batista ever could.
Also, WWE should be emerging out out of its post-Wrestlemania lull around this time. Huge main eventers + huge stages like Summerslam = Success for the WWE.
I'm looking forward to this summer's WWE programming. I truly think that if WWE handles its storylines properly then over the course of the next year it will return to being a fixture of pop culture. Post your thoughts...

This is a great observasion, because I had never taken the time to think about the near future in the WWE. But there is a key phrase in your post. "if WWE handles its storylines properly". In the past year or two, WWE has handled only a handful of storylines properly. We have had horrible champions as a result of WWE mishandling storylines (Batista, John Cena, Bobby Lashley, Vince McMahon, The Big Show, etc...)
I totally agree that the returns of HHH, Rey Mysterio, and Kennedy will boost WWE popularity to its peak. Everybody loves Rey because of his exciting lucha-libre move set and the fast-pace action of all of his matches. Also the fans tend to cheer for the underdogs, and Rey is small and usually the underdog. Triple H is just a classic wrestler. Ken Kennedy needs no introduction if you have read any other posts on this blog. And the possibility of adding Chris Jericho in my mind puts WWE loads over and wrestling product including TNA.
I am definitely looking forward to Summerslam. We SHOULD see some classic matches...again, if WWE handles storylines well. Great post.
Bobby lashley is easily the best superstar considering the amount of training he has to do every fucking day on the road to keep that perfect body of his that can rip an average man apart. This goes for John Cena, and Batista as well. They are ripped sons of bitches and hell id fuck em.
If by best Superstar, you mean the person who could most easily win a strongman competition, then yes. Lashley, Batista, and Cena are all awesome superstars. So are Mark Henry and The Great Khali. However, if you want to use the more...traditional...definition of a superstar (one who has the ability to engage the crowd, work the mic, utilize an exciting move set, develop storylines, and protect his opponents during matches), then all the big guys I mentioned would be at the bottom of the list. At top would be names like The Rock, Bret Hart, Mr. Kennedy, The Undertaker, etc. From this list, you can see that size and even styles don't really matter. Bobby Lashley isn't so much the best superstar as he's...one of the worst. Yes, that's what I was looking for.
As far as fucking WWE Superstars, I suppose if the divas don't count, you'd be better off with someone like the IC champ, Santino Marella. He's got that Italian charm, but seems sensitive enough to give you the loving you need. Now, since I'm not the one looking for WWE superstars to fuck, I wouldn't know, but personally...I wouldn't want any parts of fucking Lashley. I think he would probably rip me in half by mistake. At least that's what happened when I had that fling with Scott Hall. But no one says to "The Bad Guy," so really, what could I do?
