I don't agree that viewing figures directly correspond to the quality of the show. When it was cool to watch wrestling say 1999-2001 it was going through a transitional period. It was going through the Attitude Era, when pro-wrestling became sports-entertainment. People watched it because it was different to how they remembered it. Technical classics were thrown out the window, replaced by 'The Headbangers', 'Los Borricuas', and whatever other shit they came up with. Anyone remember JR's heel turn? He had been away because he had cerebal palsy. When he came back, his gimmick was that he was not fit to commentate because he was now disabled. So he turned heel. For about a week.

OK I know The Rock, Austin, HHH, Foley were in there prime, but who else main evented for 3 years? The Big Show?, Kane? (Angle debuted late 2000, Benoit, Guerrero RIP were still in WCW, Lesnar debuted RAW after WM 18 2002)

I'm not saying it's perfect at the moment, but I'd rather have Rey Mysterio than D'Lo, Randy Orton than Mideon, HBK than X-Pac etc.

bweasts indeed
