The pinnacle of professional sports (in the US) are the big leagues like the MLB, NHL, NBA and NFL. Most kids grow up wanting to make it to one of those leagues if they are playing the sport as children. While some abandon that dream in high school or college, those who keep with it usually aspire to get drafted.

Just like making it onto an NFL roster and playing in a game on Sundays, making it to NXT and either RAW or SmackDown is just as huge a goal for aspiring performers. We've heard talk from numerous stars about having a "WrestleMania Moment" even if it means winning the Intercontinental title at 'Mania only to lose it the next night on RAW like Zack Ryder.

Not being the top guy or girl in the company doesn't necessarily mean that performers don't still bring their best in every match. Although Daniel Bryan and Cesaro aren't always in the main events, they usually put on fantastic matches. Same goes for the majority of the rest of the roster including the likes of Asuka, The New Day, the majority of NXT and The Fiend.

Being known as a "WWE star" doesn't just apply to the top Champions. From top to the bottom, just like a pro sports' roster, practically every person is important. Some are mostly used to put others over and make them look good while other are relied upon to carry the brands.

There is a huge disparity between the amount of people who try out for and get accepted into the company. Kross was clearly on everyone's radar after a short run in Impact, but that's all it takes for the biggest company in the world to take notice.
