Biggest differnce between the Boom period and now

So I'm watching the entire Raw and PPV run of 1998 and the biggest thing I've notice between then and now is the amount of feuds and storylines there were for the midcarders and even lower midcarders. Steve Blackman was feuding with both The Nation and Jeff Jarrett, Ken Shamrock was feuding with both the Nation and Dan Severn, The Rock was feuding with Faarooq and Ken Shamrock, for a while NAO was feding both with Cactus Jack/Chainsaw Charlie and LOD. It's just amazing how many simultaneous storylines they were running on one show. It made everything much easier to get invested in as everyone had a story, a reason for being there

I don't fully want them to go back to 1998 style booking, the in ring product is hell of a lot better these days but I wish they'd give some of the midcarders more feuds more stories.
