Pretty much. It was do or die. We have to remember that the NWO pretty much changed the landscape of wrestling. Vince had to do SOMETHING.

They won't even let these guys bleed in a match so how do you think they can push the envelope? The WWE and society is A LOT different in 2016 than it was in 1998-2001.
More people on the roster should continue to make this point
He basically says it's easy for Austin, as an "attitude era" guy, to sit back on his podcast and criticize the current crop of stars and say how they should do this or that. Don't know why you don't wanna "spoil it"
i feel the same way. Austin i fukkin hate nowadays. thought his character was overrated. The Rock >>>>>

"New day" proved Austin's point correct...they were three guys who didn't like thier gimmicks...asked to be put together and got it over on thier own..

NEW DAY disagrees
Wrong , they were forced to do the original superbaby face gimmick by Vince . Only once it flopped did they get a chance
His character helped fuel a new era and was one of the all time most successful runs that a wrestler has ever had. I can't agree with that at all.

Rock is my fav but you dead wrong for saying that Austin is overrated. Austin pretty much saved the WWE from getting smashed by WCW and had one of the greatest runs ever, and is one of the most iconic wrestling characters ever. Austin being one of the GOATs is not up for debate.

And New Day were fortunate that cokeboy liked them so much that even after HIS original idea flopped and got booed out of every building, they were still allowed to continue getting time with the gimmick and were able to instead let their own real personalities shine through (rarely happens today), turned it into something great, and then everybody in the back still loved them. Props to them obviously, but you cant point to one example and say "see Austin's right" when we all can name tons more examples of guys taking shytty gimmicks and getting over on their own like New Day, and instead of being celebrated they get squashed and buried for getting themselves over in a way that WWE didnt like or didnt plan for. THAT is generally the rule, New Day is the exception.

Ziggler is on point his time. Didn't somebody a few years ago catch heat backstage for wearing the same color pants as HBK? You can't come up in an overly sensitive environment like that.
