Now thats not true. It wasnt their fault alone. WWE business dropped off because of poor booking and stupid characters. You could Blame Diesel, Razor, Taker, and Yoko as well. But I think the only blame for that drop was Vince.
Then they adapted and took over the entire business, which VInce gets credit for.
HBK Adapted and helped launch the WWE to the top, where Stone COld and the Rock took it over the goal line.
I feel like Cena/Hogan comparison is pretty apt. I think that Cena becoming a heelwouldnt kill the WWE at all, in fact it would energize the older fans and maybe help boost some ratings, and Daniel Bryan is PERFECT to become the child friendly "Face" of the WWE.
