Are we Entering a New Era?

Well the last month or so in the WWE has been very cool and exciting to say the least. Lots of stuff happening, which a year ago, I would of never thought happening. It seems like the WWE is starting to realize how to make good TV again. They've created new stars the past year or two, which they failed to do between 2001-2003, and it hurt them. And now we're starting to see the effort of creating stars with how over Batista and especially Cena are. Of course, Orton, Hassan, Shelton, Carlito and a few more are there.

But what I really wanted to talk about was what seemed to be started by the ECW PPV. This new "shoot" style TV/Internet WWE we are seeing lately. From the shoot promos at the ECW PPV, to the BWO appearing on Smackdown (Meanie vs JBL), to the Lesnar stuff, to all these releases, which were presented like they were some kind of event on WWE.com. To the little things like that of Richards attacking Masters on Raw after few knew Richards was even injured by him. And of course, the biggest thing, Matt Hardy/Edge/Lita.

This past couple of months has just felt a lot different. A definate change for the better IMO. As I said before, last night with Matt was just so surreal. Something that you don't really see anymore these days in the WWE. Real Crowd emotion and just hearing however many people chant "Hardy" as loud as they could brought me back to 98 with Austin. It really felt like that last night.

I just hope they continue this "New WWE" so to speak. Keep running this "reality" kind of thing they are doing right now. It's something new and it's something fun.
