I was at WM18, so I'd like to say "no".
WM18 was like a ceremonial gathering of WWF fans who grew up with watching WWF Superstars after Saturday morning cartoons. Canada was nWo country and Hulkamania country - even the atmosphere outside of SkyDome before the event was electric, with many people wearing old school Hogan shirts and/or bandanas from the late 80's.
While serving as Hogan's final run, it was also our last run as serious fans of professional wrestling.
It's cool how 10 years later, this Rock-Cena thing is sort of full circle. I do feel like it is a notch below Hogan-Rock, however, there is a whole new generation of fans now.
For us, we grew up with Hogan, and were still serious fans during the attitude era (high school years), and don't relate to Cena and the current product. The question is, are there still a significant number of fans who watched the Rock 10-12 years ago, and still follow wrestling today? Can this new generation of fans "bring it", like the fans did 10 years ago?
