Austin was too banged up and the Invasion changed everything.
There is no such point. If the show gets canceled by USA, it would be on another network or WWE.com the next week.

It's a dead period and it's easy to get fans to pay attention to a giant like Big Show.

So is there still a (likely) chance of somebody becoming a bigger draw than Hulk Hogan, assuming they were extremely talented, like Hogan once was?

No.
Because deep down, under all the scars from women hitting you with shoes, love bites from Sam and rough exterior, you care about people.

Thoughts on Goldust's face paint? I think it's cool.
What's next for Axel?
Thoughts on Big E. winning the IC Title?

I'm assuming this is because of the smaller fan base than before.
If there is a small fan base, how come the WWE is getting more sponsors, advertisers, higher attendance and all that jazz? I mean the WM 30 tickets are almost sold out already!

They can sleep in them and they'll grow I'm assuming.
I'm fine with it.
Hopefully a few much needed wins.
Good choice if they use him right.
Nash was a solid big man when he was trying. When he wasn't though....aye aye aye.
Yep and I dropped nearly $200 to get one of them.
It's not because of the smaller fanbase. It's a combination of the WWE being the focal point instead of the wrestlers and the wrestlers not being able to be themselves/a character outside of WWE's reigns.
It's not necessarily a smaller fanbase. It's that WWE is much more diversified and family friendly. A company looks at WWE doing all their charity stuff, drawing big crowds, drawing still solid TV ratings and being completely family friendly and wants a piece of that.
The PG Era has also done wonders for the company. Picture this scenario.
A dad and his 8 year old son are at home and the dad, a former wrestling fan, sees Raw on and stops to see what's up.
Son: "DAD! What is this stuff? IT'S AWESOME!!! That guy John Cena is so strong and he beat up all the bad guys!"
Dad; "You like this? I used to watch it when I was your age."
They start watching every week since it's PG and therefore nothing too bad for the son to see. A few months later, WWE is coming to their town.
Dad: "Happy birthday son. I got us tickets to go see Smackdown!"
Son: "YOU'RE THE BEST DAD EVER!"
They go to the show.
Son: "Dad can I please have the Cena hat and shirt? I've never wanted anything more ever. Pleeeeeeeeeease?"
Dad: *sigh* "Well ok I guess. Eh throw in one of those Bray Wyatt shirts too. That beard is awesome."
Under the PG TV, WWE has now sold two tickets, gotten two people to watch, and sold two shirts and a hat while possibly making a fan for life out of the son. Under Attitude Era, the dad might have stopped for a few seconds, seen something that belongs on after hours HBO, changed the channel and told his son to forget about it, meaning no tickets, viewers, or merchandise. That's how WWE makes money with PG in addition to sponsorships.

Porn is okay here long as it ain't dudes.
Who do you see Del Rio feuding with after Cena?

Welcome to My (And Not Sly's) House
That's a good question. Langston maybe?
Del Rio in the midcard where he should be, that's something. Though seeing him against Big E for the umpteenth time isn't exactly flattering.
Who do you see winning the Tradition Survivor Series Match between Shield/Real Americans and Rhodes Brothers/Usos/Rey? Who will the sole Survivors be?

I'm thinking Rey is the survivor and we set up Shield vs. Wyatts and Wyatts vs. tag champions.

Xavier Woods, what's next?
When Cena was drafted to RAW as champion and Batista still had that feud going with HHH was SD! just without a champion for like a month? I guess the draft was like a weekly thing that year instead of just one night.

Probably a tag team run with Truth for awhile to see how he does.
Yeah it went over three weeks that year.

Who's next for Cena assuming he defeats Del Rio? Speaking of ADR, I just can't believe he has been involved in the WHC scene this whole year pretty much at every PPV (minus ER, though that was a number one contender's match). I imagine we will see someone elevated as I can't really see Punk, Bryan, or Show getting involved in the WHC scene.

Unfortunately I'd think there's a third match at TLC because WWE insists on trilogies despite no one caring.
After Del Rio........maybe entering the Authority storyline. He can't ignore it forever.

Speaking of the Authority and Cena. How much longer do you seem them not having Cena involved in this whole storyline? And also, do you see WWE pulling their almost regular and having Cena being the savior?

Welcome to My (And Not Sly's) House
I don't really see another way around it. You can only talk about someone being the face of the WWE for so long until someone says "I thought John Cena was the face of the WWE." Cena probably has his big moment in the story at Wrestlemania though.

Wrestlemania. I watched that earlier this year and I was losing my mind all over again, despite seeing it a few dozen times. That's not at all to say the Survivor Series match isn't a masterpiece as well because it is, but the storytelling in the rematch is better with so many little intricate details.

Hey man...I responded because I thought it was a great thread. You need to bump it to get other peoples opinions. The Steve Austin-Bret Hart feud will go down as my all time favorite!
They just dont make em like they used to...and by that I mean storylines.
