Last thread has well over 10,000 replies. Its body is breaking down like The Undertaker's. Seeing as we might have crossed the threshold into a new era in the business, here's a fresh new thread.
Need to move Kane to a trainer position. I actually think that Big Show can do announcing. He has great comedic timing when the WWE allows him to show it. [Reply]

Also from one of the Talk is Jericho's, Cena might be the problem.
Cena is the first superstar they've built into an icon in a long time that hasn't flat out left. Rock, Austin, Lesnar etc etc have all left for their own reasons at one time or another. Gets ridiculously old and repetitive but can't really blame them for clinging to him like they do. The massive amount of charity work he has put in and continues to do doesn't hurt either. [Reply]

I'm not sure who is still active, but when Kane, Big Show, Brock, Undertaker, Shawn Michaels and Triple H move on and no longer wrestle who exactly will they have? [Reply]

They are still fucking amazing
A lot of them were. If they want to aim their product at preteens, this should be a fairly predictable result. I can't watch the show at all anymore. Having no competition is bad for these guys. [Reply]

When something is stale the solution isn't to go back to how things used to be, it's to do something new. And even if you wanted to go back to an over-the-top 90s style show, bringing back Vince Russo is far from the best way to do that. He's not some kind of creative genius, he's a one-trick pony who was in the right place at the right time to make that trick work.
And regardless of how good the show is, the ratings will never reach Attitude Era levels again, just due to the way TV has changed. [Reply]

Russo was filtered by Pat Patterson and Vince. Not to mention that wrestlers themselves had a lot more creative freedom in their characters. [Reply]
