what is up with things these days?

I quit watching a few years ago before it was WWE I think. I would like to know some stuff. I have turned it on a few times and sat through it. What happened to all the cool weapons, street fights, falls count anywhere and hardcore matches? Have they done away with this all important attribute to wrestling all together?

Where is Sabu and why the hell isn't he in WWE changing the buisness and pushing everyone else. New Jack? Sandman? Stone Cold? What about old Tank Abbot and Dan the Beast Severn?

thanks
