My problem as a non-wrestling viewer now

I agree with most everything said here, and I think that part of the problem is that there is no real MAJOR conflict going on in the WWE as a whole. WCW's boost came from nWo versus WCW, and Hogan versus Piper/Sting/Flair, etc. WWF's boost came from Austin vs. McMahon, ie Corporation vs. WWE. There is nothing like that anymore.

There is also no primary main event face on the entire roster. Say what you want about Undertaker, Triple H, HBK, Cena, Batista, but none of them are what Austin, Rock, Sting, RVD or Goldberg were for their respective companies. They are main eventers, they are the most over faces in the company, but none of them is "THE guy." And say what you want about Cena being "the guy" for the WWE, but trust me, the top runner for the company should not receive half boos/half cheers at every venue. That is called a problem. Imagine if Sting were getting booed when he was dropping from the rafters to beat up Bischoff and Hogan? That doesn't work.

And the problem will remain, because on the current roster, they just don't have "that guy," and they don't seem to be willing to do anything to create him. Without naming any names, I believe there are certain superstars on the roster who could be that main guy if they just took a risk and ran with him, but I really don't see that happening until they end up having no choice.

I hope that one day the product improves. It's a sad day when someone like me, who loves the product and even wants to work there sometime in the future, can't watch an entire episode of their programming without wanting to do something else.
