The best package in the company as the top guy who works almost every week. Will WWE ever go back to this?
They either have part-timers who barely work like Reigns or shitters like Rollins beating everyone.

Cena and PG and his refusal to turn heel killed the company, and everything after is just a death spasm.

I remember guys having a little over 180 being the highest in the year a decade or so ago so over 200 is about as much as it gets.

The problem was never turning Austin, it was turning him knowing the Rock was leaving the next night.

Also, Austin heel turn wasn't bad. The problem was pairing him with Gaytch for zero reason and making him like a bitch. If they did the 96-97 Austin heel run, that would have been dimes.

Why wouldn't 'we' when the original discussion is how much he worked, not just specifically how many matches he did. Stop being a spaz.

The turn was dogshit and went against everything fans supported for years just to be a swerve. The inital heel work was also cringe dogshit until Austin found a balance, and being with HHH was one of the better parts.

It's been a steady decline since 2002, all through Cena's era, too. It plateaued just once for a brief moment, then plummeted again. Cena was not a draw.

Every remaining GayEW fan likes the current slop because everyone else left, therefore the current slop is a draw. Tard logic.

Cena is responsible for every single program and angle on every single show, and somebody not watching a Diva or Kofi segment was Cena's fault. His segments adding over a million viewers and him being one of the biggest merch sellers, and WWE still doing sellouts often up until he went part-time doesn't count.

WWE thrives presently with a rotating cast of babyfaces that are over but no one that stands out as "the guy" and this is obviously working extremely well for them. Why would they go back?
Plus, who do they have to put in that role? Most of their current success is on the back of beloved veterans and ex-indie guys who are in their late 30s and early 40s. Will Trick Williams be equipped to be the guy?

No, it didn't. Vince net worth (meaning WWE stock since that is 95% of his net worth) was 1 billion in 1999. He only passed that mark in 2014 when he hit 1.2 billion. 15 years later... and that's accounting for the massive inflation and population increase. Today he is worth 2,7 billion but that's nothing considering he was worth half that like 20 fucking years ago and had a monopoly on the business for the past 20 years.

source? also 2002 is were they hardcore slumped. but even in this graph you can see the only thing carrying them are the tv inflated deals. RAW in 1998-99 would be pulling 10 billion in tv rights
