Smark Era..... Good or Bad?

WCW proved that you can do both, you can have great matches and then stars at the top of the card, the problem, as they found out, is that you have to create new stars eventually and the workers need upward mobility. Its that balancing act that noone has found a formula for.

Right now on WWE TV, there are no stars. Not when you define a star as a Hogan, Stone Cold, or even a HHH, Angle, Sting, Undertaker. Just a glimpse at how over Goldberg is can tell you that. It is a different leve totally, a different planet.

How do you make stars without stars? It's a tough one, but I don't think they have even tried. Whether that is a positive thing depends on if you like what you are watching right now. A world where WWE is the only star.
