Was it all great? No of course not. No show is perfect. The fact is though, WWE had substantially more much mainstream appeal and buzz because of the quality of the writing/booking/product back then. The shows of today that I listed have more mainstream buzz and appeal than Raw or SD because their quality is better.
The fact that WWE has to write 5 hours of television a week is a cop out for laziness and ineptitude by the folks in charge. The fact is the poor quality wouldn't (and shouldn't) be tolerated in another competitive company or with a CEO who wasn't so arrogant and/or out of touch.

Maybe in your hometown WWE and WCW were all the rage at schools and on the street. Where I grew up, very few people even mentioned it. I knew 2 or 3 guys who were big fans in high school, and that was it. 90210 was trendy and people talked about it. Sports was always big and talked about. But not sports entertainment. Dont get all pissy because you had a different experience.
LOL I'm guessing you have never done anything creative in your life. So I'm not sure you are the go to expert on judging how easy or difficult it is to write 5 hours of television every week.
Quality in the arts is subjective. The only things that matters for a TV show is A) are people watching - Yes big time for WWE B) are the right people watching - Yes #1 in key demo and C) can the network sell ad space on your show - Yes Yes Yes!
We get it, you dont like the show. You like the Murderer show or whatever. Cool man. Lots of people still enjoy RAW every week. Smackdown too!
