First of all, congrats on getting to 100.

As for milestones I think it's a case by case thing. Major anniversaries or things like the 1000th episode of Raw are major achievements and should be celebrated accordingly, but things like 'season premiere' don't mean jack shit.

In some ways they underplay milestones in their own kayfabe world. Stats get over if there is an impressive context, just look at Goldberg and Taker. If they use the right type of milestone for the right guy it can mean the world (Cena going for World Title 16 is a naturally interesting premise regardless of which side of the Cena fence you sit on).

The problem as always is with misusing milestones, using them as a crutch for guys or events nobody cares about in an attempt to get them over. I remember Michael Cole mentioning how at Mania 28 when Big Show won the IC title it was landmark in that he had now won every title in the company he was eligible for, and with it being Big Show it meant nothing.
