I'm pretty fair about things. I want to see new, young stars and fresh programming. I want to see good programming. This is where the past comes in, the programming USED to be good (because it was young stars and fresh). Just because I want it restored to glory, doesn't mean I want the past. I just want it to be entertaini again.
I don't get excited when DX reforms, or Austin returns to referee a match, or especially when the Hogans Flairs and Pipers are around.

But one problem is, some of the only guys who know how to entertain have been doing it for a while. This is WWEs fault too based on how they let their talent progress. But you have the HBKs and HHHs who can still work matches better than the champions.

I like the Edges, the MVPs and even on some level the Kennedys. But I hate the Cenas and the Batistas.
How is that being hung up on the past? It's a matter of entertainment.

Jericho can still entertain. He's from the past, sure. So are Edge and Christian. Batista is older than him, and probably Kennedy too.
Just because he was around years ago doesn't mean he's not new and fresh. It doesn't mean he shouldn't be a focus. He never was properly used really. He was used excellently and had a great career. But he still has the potential to get that big push he never got.

So when it comes down to it, I watch wrestling still with an open mind. I like what is good, and I criticize what is garbage. I don't want 2008 to BE 1998. I want 2008 to BE AS GOOD AS 1998. There's a difference assclown.
