Not that I have anything against them, but veterans like them don't need the title and when they've had main event and title runs it just stalls the elevation of the next generation, which it did (not only because of them, though).

And beyond that, they're more prone towards injury.
I mean, don't get me wrong, I love Michaels since his return. He's been on fire in the ring and all, but he's racked up some injuries in his life, and they're going to catch up to him. In a way, they already have.
Same with Taker. He's had some pretty serious ones, including this last tear, which was bad, and hip problems. The thing about injuries is they don't get lighter with age.
And Bats isn't a vet, so the bits about not needing the belt and such don't count with him, but this guy's one moderate injury away from retirement, and WWE keeps banking on him. I mean, seriously.
And while it's true of any injury prone wrestler, it's more true of older wrestlers.
