Seeing The Rock come back made me realize...

That there are only a handful of people who come back and get the response The Rock received. It's like he never left. Rocky chants, great mic performance, Michael Cole being there like old times to be made fun of.

I DEFINITELY do not want to have all the old attitude era wrestlers back at all. I like the product now and where its going ALOT..but back to Rocky's reaction, i don't think you get that with anybody who got popular in the WWE after 2002, other than John Cena and MAYBE Randy Orton if his character doesn't go stale or anything. Before any of you say that it hasn't been enough time, its been about 8 good years since we've seen BIG names other than HHH or HBK, in the WWE on a consistent basis. Only Austin, Rock, HHH, Undertaker, HBK, Bret, Sting, Flair, Hogan, etc are going to get those reactions and have everyone's attention the WHOLE time.

I guess what i'm trying to say is 1.) I'm glad i got to watch an era that will never be again..these young guys only saw Hardy, Cena, and Orton at their primes (no offense to them). I saw the nWo, DX, Montreal Screwjob, Mankind being thrown off the HIAC cage, Sting beating Hogan, DDP, Goldberg, etc. 2.) With the way the fans are now, unless there is unbelievable writing for the next 3-5 years, i don't see the wrestlers of today getting to the status, or higher, of the Attitude Era guys, no matter how popular the product. Thats just my opinion of course.

I feel bad for anybody who's 16 and younger right now who's a wrestling fanatic, or a sports fanatic for that matter seeing as they probably never got to understand how good the Jordans, Gretzkys, Jeters, etc really were. But i guess there's King James.
