Okay, let's get this out of the way.
Okay.
There will never be another Rock. There will never be another Austin. There will never be another Hogan. These, along with many other successful gimmicks, are unique formula that won't work again. It's a combination of luck, timing, and a certain X-Factor. Bottom line, you can't copy them. However, it's still possible to be as big as these people. we've got a thread going that talks about how Orton can never be the Rock. Well, no shit people. Only the Rock can be the Rock. He can be imitated, but never duplicated. This doesn't mean that Orton (Or someone else) can never be that big. It means they've got some pretty big shoes to fill, but a new generation of superstars will eventually spawn someone the fans will really get behind. Now, this should really be a 10.0 on the no-shit scale. It just seems that some people don't get it. Wrestling didn't end because Hulkamania stopped running wild, and it didn't end the first dozen times Austin left. The end of DX didn't kill it, and it won't die because the Rock's gone offf to Hollywood. Even if it does die, it won't be for a lack of fodder in the main event scene. The WWE's got some amazing talent, and it's silly to think for a minute that they can't take up the slack. It's ridiculous to go looking for the Rock in anyone but the Rock, but there are definitely strong talents out there. Now all we need to do is PRAY that the WWE nurtures them. “There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.”--John Rogers |
