i, like most people here, have been a long time WWE fan. most people on here also know I'm a huge DX and Taker fan. in recent months Taker has gotten his push back so to speak and DX rarely appears anymore. I have recently heard that the new focus of WWE is the kids, i think, 12 and under. yes, the kids are the future and when we all die the kids will be who is left to watch WWE. what about the older fans though? what about the people between 20 and 50+ who still watch? the story-lines lately all have something to do with cena because kids like him. the other story-lines don't really flow all that well at all.
lets take cena for a second. cena had this LONG title reign defeating everyone from Khali and Umaga to Triple H and Edge. for starters Cena f-u'ed khali TOO easily and should not have been able to beat Khali AND Umaga in a triple threat match on raw. however, wwe allowed him because kids like him.
now lets take DX. i absolutely love DX. this time around it was a watered down version but i understand it bc of the whole "hbk is hardcore Christian and doesn't want to do the same things as he used to". however, the more i look at it, it just seems as DX was a...comic relief to make kids laugh. i laughed to and neither hbk or the game were underused or used wrong in that situation. now though? trips should be WWE champ and shawn should have a feud with him. i can see why the batista.shawn feud works but....why? its making Tista look like a little cry baby.
i have nothing bad to say about Taker. his character is used the way it should be. plus he is world champ so it all works out.
but look at all of the under used talent! jericho shouldn't be stuck with the IC. umaga should still be in the title picture. londrick should be tag champs and feuding with either cryme tyme or rhodes/holly. wait no i take that back....rhodes/holly shouldn't be a tag team.
all I'm saying is WWE is going to lose lots of fan base if they turn their entire focus on to the kids. the older veteran fans love the classic feuds and NOT john freakin cena winning every match or being in every title storyline.
