Oh, agreed. The Cena push diminished their audience greatly. The Reigns push will do the same thing.

I really do believe that they are skirting on their past. I think that's why things are quieter around the internet than they've ever been too. The half-life of the hangover of the Attitude era is expiring and even the people who thought they would be wrestling fans for life are too exhausted to engage with 5 hours of television that is designed to have no emotional stakes and run contrary to what they demand as fans.
