Wireless headsets.....

[Emperor Smeat]

Would be sort of amazing if they were wireless and during a match a wrestler takes the headset to talk trash while beating up his opponent during the entire match in a bigger way than The Rock who did it once but just near the announcer table.

I'd assume like others have said, its more to keep the signal constant and prevent any possible lag/skipping or interference from other devices. Probably the same reason why they still have cables for most of their cameras to prevent loss of a signal from the cameras.

They did this in WCW with the "Oklahoma" JR rip-off character. He did it during a PPV match against Vampiro. I'm pretty sure I remember him yelling "Oklahoma stomp! Oklahoma stomp!" as he stomped Vampiro in the face.
