YES...
The Main Eventers were Rock, Austin, HHH, HBK (early attitude) Undertaker, Rikishi, Kurt Angle, Kane, Jericho, Benoit, Big Show, Mick Foley, and even then the IC title was quite big, not just a way to get a push.
The Tag Teams were DX, New Age Outlaws, Right to Censor, Hardyz, Dudleyz, Edge + Christian w/Angle, Benoit + Jericho, B.O.D, A.P.A, Two Man Power Trip
Now.....
Main eventers...Batista, HHH, Taker, Kane, Big Show, HBK, Randy Orton, Cena, Edge, Mysterio, Booker T, Benoit (this list is no way near as good as the one above, you'd rather watch attitude and some here are past their primes in people's eyes...ie. booker t (said he may retire in next couple of years) kane (disgraceful that he's only got 1 24 hour title reign) Taker, HHH, HBK
Tag Team Division....becoming non-existant.
