The WWE crowd knows who people like HBK and Lawler are. We know their style and we know they're legends, so even if all Lawler does is throw some fists he's able to get the crowd going before he's even stepped into the ring. I'm wondering if a guy just coming up today be it in the indies or even starting in the WWE, dropped that same fist or wrestled a Lawler type of match would he get over? Or do you need to be part of the X-Division now?

This kind of goes along with what Cornette said about hardcore and what Dale is saying about timeless wresting. To a certain degree, all the no-selling, supermoves, and false finishes comes back to haunt you. The crowd will expect more and more and you can only do so much.
