Eventually the "old school" well will run dry, and they won't have anyone on todays roster that should have been given a main event shot to rely on for a draw. I'm sure Triple H will be more than happy to save the day and strap on the boots for a while though.

This is why it annoys me every Wrestlemania when so many names from the past come back. Undertaker is cool, and maybe one other name per year, but when 2/3 of the card revolves around past stars, it pretty much shows you how much faith WWE has in it's current roster.
On top of that, this is probably the only time "the world" is watching. Anyone paying any attention at all because of guys like Hogan, Rock, Lesnar etc, aren't gonna stick around the next week once that person is gone. This is the chance to really showcase the talent they have today... and seriously WWE has more than enough talent today to put on a great show.
And as a petty thing on my behalf, these guys have all had their Wrestlemania moments. How long does a guy like Wade Barrett need to bust his ass just to be given anything on WM that isn't a generic clusterfuck tag match? Whilst guys like Lesnar get to waltz in whenever they want and do as they please?
