That is certainly one way of looking at it, but my ultimate thought is this:

The WWE is all about ratings. The goal of the company should be to bring in long term ratings, and the way to create LONG TERM ratings (as opposed to a short term boner) is to create new stars. Period.

I'm not opposed to bringing in guys like Hogan, Angle, Jericho, New Age Outlaws, etc., as part-time workers that ultimately put over up-and-comers, but what I am SEVERELY opposed to is bringing back past-their-prime superstars such as Dave Batista on long term full-time contracts.


Even more than Batista - I am severely opposed to bringing in guys like Carlitto, Shelton Benjamin, Chris Masters, etc., that didn't draw much interest in 2005, and certainly wouldn't draw much interest now.

By having NEW people on TV, you have a chance of creating NEW potential stars that can potentially DRAW.

Going back in time to bring back guys from 2005 (that weren't all that 'over' in the first place) will keep the product stale.

The WWE have enough younger and fresher talent that they should be pushing. Get rid of backstage politics and all the other bullshit, and PUSH THESE GUYS. Looking for answers by bringing back guys from 2005 is a terrible long term strategy.
