They need a feud with more than 2 wrestlers involved. What has happened to factions? Have one created with Kennedy, Orton, and Carlito battling Cena or Lashley and then people will come back. I just don't understand why they keep having these feuds that last like 3-4 weeks, main event at the PPV, and then they move on. Cena faced Umaga, done, Cena faced HBK, done, Cena faced Kahli, done, Cena faced Lashley, done, and now Orton. What happened to long running feuds where the heel wins every once in a awhile? The whole thing right now is just rediculous and I am getting very sick of it.This year I see what you mean but there was Cena and Edge feuding practically all of 2006. Wouldn't that count as a long running feud?
Anyhow, the Attitude Era will never return. Something like that can only happen once in a blue moon and it just can't be done. Recreating the past is impossible.
As most have said here, there is no way to recreate the attitude era, and doing anything Russo-like would be a bad idea unless Russo has had a brain transplant. I was there live when David Arquette won the title. Please, no more Russo!
Back on track, the idea of fueding factions is great, and deserves a shot. However, it seems the WWE wouldn't want to put their bigguns in a faction. I consider said Superstars to be: Cena, Lashley, Orton, HHH(soon to be back) Booker, and Umaga. That represents the very top of RAW. It also shows how Cena, Lashley and HHH will be the top faces probably for a good long while, unless the fans turn Orton face by cheering him.
That being said, that does leave an intriguing option for the 'mid-card.' What if they took the main pieces of the mid-card and split them into two factions? Traditionally you want 4-person factions. I could see TWGTT, Kennedy, and Carlito fueding with Jeff Hardy, Sandman, and Kendrick and London.
That should lead to some good matches, and great heel promos featuring those 4 heels.
If you REALLY want to mix it up, and add an Austin like the USA Big Wig wants...perhaps you bring Austin in as a heel adviser to the Kennedy faction(like his run with RVD, Angle and Vince and a way for him to 'attitude' it up), with Mick Foley the mouthpiece of the Hardy squad. This way, you can have Austin and Foley cut promos on each other about who's squad is better, and they can serve to put their wrestlers over. You can even have Kennedy turn on Austin down the road, and set up one of Austin's rare matches against Kennedy at a Mania or Summerslam.
Obviously, this will never happen, but they could do something like this, and it would be something they haven't really done since Evolution, which never really ended in fued with any other faction, just themselves in the end.
Who knows what happens next.
