My point being, that until the company finds someone who can generate that sort of interest, then it's going to be in a rut, like it is at the moment.
Sheamus doesn't have it. Orton definitely has something about him. His reactions are proving that.
Is being PG (ie, by targetting a young demographic) going to to harm the company in the short term through low buy rates for PPVs? And will it pay off in five to ten years when this audience is older, can spend their own money and buy their own PPVs?
It could be a masterful choice or it could prove that wrestling will never reach its peak again. But as we have at least five more years of the PG era, the effects may not be felt for a while yet.
It could be that this is entirely unrelated and that unless WWE revise their booking style, that things will never change.
