I decided to give it up again about a year ago, and I left for a lot of reasons that you talk about here.<br /><br />I am completely willing to accept that the old horses can't keep pulling the cart forever. The Undertaker is a hell of a wrestler and can still sell a match better than almost anyone in the biz, but how much longer will he be able to do that. How many big matches can he wrestle before going down for another surgery? The same thing for Triple H. I dig the hell out of him, but he just can't keep up with these young dogs. <br /><br />These guys weren't stars when they started. They had to pay their dues and fight the big dogs of the day. They cut their teeth fighting the Hogan, Flair, the Road Warriors, Jake the Snake, etc. They didn't get the push that guys like Swagger and Kingston are getting until they became known quantities for years. <br /><br />I think the breaking point came when Kane, perhaps my favorite character, pretty much became a jobber. He sure isn't the wrestler he used to be, but he's still freaking KANE. He can still sell his schtick. It disgusts me that he's jobbing for guys like Kingston.<br /><br />I still infrequently read the wrestling "news" sites to get an idea of what's going on, but until the WWE starts better respecting their known quantities (I never could get into TNA), I'll watch something else.Cullenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11668947039713922916noreply@blogger.com
