It's amazing. WWE has pretty much lost all of its new fanbase, and all they have left is their loyals, who are dying off slowly as well.

I've pretty much already stopped watching wrestling altogether. I tape episodes now and again, but I don't care if I miss them, and sometimes I don't even bother to watch the ones that I tape. They haven't created any new stars. Cena, Batista, Orton, and Lashley are all they've really made, and none of them have that real, powerful, superstar intangible. Cena is no Rock or Austin. None of them are. Kennedy is the closest they've come, and he created his own gimmick (with the help of Paul Heyman).

Guys like Jericho, RVD, Angle, Christian, Benjamin, Kane, the Hardys; they should be running the scene right now. They should have become the new line of main event stars; but instead, while Austin and Rock were still around, and Triple H was obviously around, they were turned into mid-carders for life, because the front-line could not be disturbed. So now we're fucked, because these guys are either gone or still mid-carders, and we have to deal with the shitty ass performances of the Cenas, Batistas, and Ortons of the WWE.

So yeah, that's pretty much why I've stopped watching wrestling.
