The WWE can still make new stars, they are just putting their eggs in the wrong baskets. I was watching Smackdown, and the biggest pops are still Eddie Guerrero and John Cena, after all this time, but neither has been in the main event picture in a while. On Raw, Shawn Michaels is the biggest draw I think, and he has not held the title, and is used as a prop to put over others. Well this is selfless of Shawn, I think he needs a good title reign to boost ratings. The heels as long term champions is not working for Vince.

Sorry pal but that isn't the case. Smackdown had it's best rating all year last week, but that doesn't mean it was good. With the money they make off of TV ad revenue, hte networks they're on won't keep them at the same rate. UPN may even cancel Smackdown if they decide to rework the channel. The last two PPVs were the worst in company history. Live attendance is at a long time low, and there are no big stars on the horizon, because they've buried everyone.

And Lost Angel, I hate to say because he's a great performer but HBK waqs never really a draw and certainly never a big draw. During his title reign business was at it's worst. Ratings were down, buyrates were usually low, and live gates didn't pick up until Austin came.

Sorry Trauma but before I'd bring in Hogan I'd take a stab at bring Austin back. He's younger and he made more money for the company.
