I do however miss stables. The closest thing to a stable in the past couple years was JBLs cabinet...and even that wasnt half bad. It gave Orlando and the Bashams an actual personality.

The athmosphere for me was different then. There is a saying tht goes "A joke is only funny, when you tell it the first time." and so it was for the WWF/WWE. The DX aera was my favorite one. The "war" between WWF and WCW, the feud of Austin against Mike Tyson or how Austin destroyed the DX Express.
Later storylines had also some good ones, for example how Brock Lesnar turned ageinst Paul Hayman and teamed up with Ray Misterio or the revival of the Dead Man Undertaker.
JBL was also great. I liked him so much because he was such an asshole.
But what makes me really sad is what they did to Kane, when he unrevealed his face. Kane was knows as the feared 7 foot monster and the Undertaker's evil brother. A good Main Eventer. And now, they turned him into a psycho, a Mid Carder with a bad gimmick and he even had to be a jobber for Matt Hardy. I've been never so dissapointed of the WWE.
The feud of Eddie Guerrero against Rey Misterio was ridiciolus.
But may it be bad as it is, there will be something wht I will ALWAYS enjoy: The entrance themes. Most of them are really cool, for example HHH, Steve Austin, Undertaker, Kane, Edge, Val Venis and so on.
There's nowhere I can't reach.
