Well the problem is that Hogan does suck, but the fans don't CARE. Never underestimate the power of the casual mullet-headed Budweiser swilling mark. And no, by saying that I don't consider myself a smart. I just would like to see the WW"E" look to the future instead of wading in past glories of wrestlers far past their prime. By keeping Hogan as the champ, they are hanging on to the fans that probably would stick around anyway, but they aren't winning any new fans, and the ratings prove this.
Now saying that, I do like the way they are trying to push new blood like Lesnar and Orton (If you remember I actually called for them to be brought up a while back, thankyouverymuch). I actually would have brought them both in with Heyman plus bring in Leviathan and have them make a heel Stable. That way they could give them some high profile matches right off the bat without killing any heat on guys like Austin or Hogan by making the matches end with run-ins. The whole storyline could be that since they were "getting held back" from a shot at the big time, they were going to take it.
As for the NWO, if you blame Austin for the failure you're grabbing at straws. The fans didn't care from the get go. Why do you think Hogan left so quick? Now the NWO has already degraded to the B Team. Now THATS pure hilarity. The new Raw started out so good, and it has degenerated into a nothing show so quickly. I never thought I'd see the day when I looked forward to Smackdown more than Raw.
