Michaels and Taker just proved beyond a shadow of a doubt they can still go and be as good as ever.
That being said, look at how badly WWE scrambles when one or more of their top stars is shelved. And the older their stars get, the more likely. A few of the older stars work reduced schedules, but even then, that's not sustainable.
That's not just Attitude Era or earlier stars. Batista needs to fucking go away before he gets seriously crippled. There's a conservation issue here: These guys can sustain the company, but their run is finite and not guaranteed. If you push up and comers, you create a sustainable environment (Unless they're already getting up there, like Bats).
In short, I don't doubt that they can, but I question the wisdom that they should (and for that matter, that they are).
