They don't have Taker, they don't have Rock, they don't have Austin. They don't even have Foley. Kane, Show, Henry, Christian were never top guys and have been so mishandled over the last decade.
They go with HHH through lack of option.

When have they ever pushed him as THE FACE of the attitude era. They acknowledge his role and the role/popularity of DX during the Attitude Era, but they have never claimed be was on the level of Stone Cold or The Rock. People like to undervalue the importance of DX in the attitude era just because of the blind disdain of Paul Levesque and the seemingly die hard obsession to undermine his legacy at any cost. HHH as a heel kept WWE at an EXTRMELY high level when Austin was out. Babyfaces aren't as over and don't draw as well without a heel to go against and nobody was a better heel over the past 20 years than Triple H. Would Rock vs Heel Big Show have been as good or as sustainable as HHH/Rock? What other heel in WWF at that point was there that could have carried their half of the feud with The Rock and look like a legitimate equal?
