Cool shit just always seemed to happen, and it was largely because it was organic. It's no longer organic, so it ceases to have its finger on the pulse because it's so robotic. You say the current crop of guys doesn't take enough onus on themselves, I say the writers should have a little more sense and idea of what will really and truly be a wonderful and fulfilling product vs. another Monday Night RAW that will hopefully be competent enough and fill enough time and space to make them enough money on ad revenue and sponsorships etc... which they certainly are doing quite successfully.
Whether they can do that with Daniel Bryan, or they can do that with Hornswoggle I'm down.

Yeah I dunno, I just feel like there have been really cool moments in recent history. Daniel Bryan doing the turn in the cage was a cool moment, and then watching him win the title was as satisfying an angle as Ive ever seen. Brock-Taker pull apart from a few months ago was awesome. A lot of the stuff with The Shield and Wyatt Family was cool. I find Mania to feel like more of a special event now vs the heyday of The Attitude Era.
I think one difference from then to now is that there was a ton of things done for the first time. But in doing so much, a lot of the stuff now doesn't come off as cool because its been done before.
