I completely agree with you, Dale. Back in the Monday Night Wars, there was a proper alternative for viewers and performers to retreat to, so each of the companies had to capitalise on what was hot, who was hot, and how to make money out of that. If there were a WCW right next to the WWE, you better believe that "Daniel Bryan" chants would result in a Daniel Bryan push. But without the competition, the WWE's finger isn't on the hot-button any more, and things fall to the wayside.
