I disagree. Look at Big Show going from jobber to beating Lesnar for the title in a couple of months.
Someone like Doane can easily be transitioned. Blame the others for the fact they didn't win, then give him a US/IC push. Even with the rest, it'd only take a few wins for them to be ressurected.
SS are jokes, but the individual wrestlers aren't. As has been said, they're interchangeable enough to get away with it.
