A couple years of setting the precedent that the new wave of guys, as they are now, are the face of WrestleMania and the aura that draws people to the "Super Bowl of wrestling" will dwindle really fucking fast.

This is why IMO it's a case of all-or-nothing.
All the big names that make Wrestlemania "special" fuck off the next night. Leaving the rest of the roster to pick up the scraps and scrape the company through the mud the rest of the year. This is partly why I believe nobody gives a fuck about so many guys on the roster. Besides inconsistent booking, and people being used one month, then being gone the next etc, ultimately, they all play second fiddle to the "part timers".
I don't know shit about running million-dollar companies, but I know what I like to see, and seeing as WWE was originally built on risks, now's the time to take another big one.
WWE has enough guys on the roster that are over, that can go in the ring, can put together a good enough promo, and ultimately can "deliver the goods". Rather than focusing on big-name part-timers and appealing to every demographic (R-Truth at Wrestlemania 31), WWE should focus on booking the absolute best card they can. Using todays roster. Have
one match to bring in the superstar value, maybe Brock Lesnar vs. The Rock, and then have the rest of the matches using the top guys today.
The whole world is watching when it comes to Wrestlemania. With the right matches, fans will be entertained, the live audience will be entertained which will make for a great televised product. And the next night on Raw, anyone who did tune in to Wrestlemania and enjoyed it, won't be disappointed when they tune in the next night and Triple H, Undertaker, Lesnar, Rock etc are gone.
Remember, all the way from Wrestlemania 1 to the Attitude Era to even now, Wrestlemania always made itself with the top stars of the day. Triple H, The Rock, Undertaker have more than had their fair share of Wrestlemanias. I'm sick of seeing 80% of the biggest show of the year always going to the same handful of guys.
