It's a problem with consistent builds. It's fine to have a few ex-WWE/WCW guys in the main event to help give name recognition to the card - but that won't last forever. You have to also be building your young guys and grooming them to eventually take the throne. That was the case in the beginning, but the arrival of Bischoff and Hogan derailed that train completely.

Now the guys who were being "built" back then (AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, Samoa Joe, Frankie Kazarian, Low Ki, Rhino, Chris Sabin, Alex Shelley, Lance Hoyt, Monty Brown, etc) are all either gone from the company or are still there but dwindling without any real focus or purpose.

I think they have recently made an attempt to reconcile those issues and begin rebuilding their talent of home grown talent, but it seems like the boat has sailed. They had stellar momentum going in 2005-2006, but all that fell apart when they put all of their focus on terrible storylines with old timers and let their budding homegrown talent fizzle out.
