Opinion: The State of WWE And It's Future

I am definitely in the minority here when I say I don't know if the in ring talent is as deep as it has ever been. A lot of the guys on the roster can only seem to follow a scripted match. Here and there you get glimpses of briliance but it is pretty rare. Gone are the days when two guys can get in the ring and just go. HBK is the best ever because he could wrestle anyone, any style and put on a good compelling match; regardless of how much time he has. Y2J is the closest we have now to this, AJ is up there also. What thise guys have in common is they perfected their craft over years in different companies and aren't "wwe trained."
I do like how they have brought in guys who are not wwe styled. I think KO is actually pretty damn good, he has a different style and knows how to sell. A big problem is a lot of the guys who can go aren't very big nor intimidating. When you as a fan feel like you can take someone they have a problem, and right now a lot of their guys look like skinny fat neck beards. A guy like Seth Rollins and Ambrose don't intimidate anybody and even 45 year old HBK looks bigger and more believable. Lesnar and Goldberg are over because you as a fan would not want to fight either of them.

I honestly think the wwe is in rough shape talentwise because they aren't deep with guys who can just go tear the house down. Unless you are Randy Savage and Ricky Steamboat you can't go out and script a masterpiece match and I feel like thats what they are trying to do nowaydays.
