I feel the business model is different now than it used to be. In the 90's if you went to a show, you were going to see Austin. They could've had monkeys dancing in the ring for the entire show and you wouldn't care. You were there to see Stone Cold. Same for Hogan's WWF Era and WCW era.
But now it's different. You don't go to just see ONE guy anymore. It's not the wrestlers fault, it's the over saturation of wrestling. There's way too much, and there way more variety and different wrestlers people relate too. Its not really a bad thing, just the reason IMO there's not huge singular full time draws any more.
The closest thing they have is Reigns and Styles. I'd say Cena but he's pretty much part time now.
It's so different now. Reigns and Styles wrestle almost every single week. Even during Austin and Hogan's runs they weren't wrestling 15 minute matches EVERY SINGLE WEEK. It's hard to be a PPV draw when you're available to the audience every week.
