I agree with @
saysumthinfunnymike , WWE has been entertaining as hell compared to recent years. Cena actually has new blood in the main event scene and its working wonders (Punk, Bryan, Shield, etc)
People talk about how bad about Vince Russo was but Vince Russo was right, no one cares about these little vanilla midgets on a grand stage. People forget how bland WWE was when Bret Hart and HBK were in their prime (93-97), that "New Generation" shyt was corny as a mother, its just nostalgic nowadays for YouTube purposes but i would never want to go back to those years.
Russo took WWE to new heights when he added that realistic, gritty feel to the WWE programming from 98-99 and once he left, WWE died. After Russo left WWE in 1999, Vince McMahon ran with Russo's previously planned writing formula for 1 year and after that, Vince couldnt think of any new ideas, Thats why WWE died in 2001, they tried new ideas of their own like the Invasion idea and the Brand Split idea.
WWE is just back to where they have always been, a circus like company with a cult or passive fanbase of moms and kids, the Attitude Era kids are all 20 somethings adults now getting their blood thirsty combat sport fix from UFC and even UFC stole some WWE type ideas with their catchy hype promos and twitter beefs to spark interest in ppvs.
