It's Kind of Scary when you think about it

I got to thinking after all the discussion last night in that "Waste" thread about Orton and HHH's match.

I realized last night that with the final four matches, 7 out of the 9 participants were all products from the attitude era or before. And I'm talking about HBK/Taker, Jeff/Matt, The Triple Threat and HHH/Orton. If there was a match in between those, I apoligize.

Then throw in Jericho and the other legends and it's more guys who were among the best of the best 10 years ago or before.

I stopped and thought for a second, what if in 2000, guys like Ultimate Warrior, Earthquake, Jake Roberts, Rick Rude, Hulk Hogan, and Randy Savage were still involved in weekly TV and all over main PPV's in the WWF? These guys were all over WWF TV and PPV's in 1990.

And you can say, well what about HBK? He was wrestling for the WWF in 1990 and main eventing in 98? Well I'm talking about a 10 year period where guys from 1990, who were near or at the top of the card, were still at the same spot 10 years later.

And you can say, what about Hogan? I'm keeping this strickly WWF and when Hogan did come back in 2002, it was kind of a short nice run at the top and then he came back in spurts after that.

I will give you Taker though. Can't argue that one.


What's my point on all of this? Well that holy shit, it's 2009 and the same guys from 10 years ago or before are still the one's carrying the company on the big shows. Now, I am not saying these guys should not be there or that the matches suck because obviosuly if you watched last night, Taker and HBK tore the house down.

But how much longer can you rely on these guys to carry the show for you? When does the WWE start realizing that "oh shit, we better get these young guys on the levels of Taker, HHH, HBK, Jericho and others." They can't rely on Attitude era wrestlers and Hall of Famers to sell a show for much longer.
