10 Reasons WWE Raw Will Never Be The Same Again
8. The REAL New Generation
Not to be confused with WWE's desperate attempt to make the company feel young again as swathes of stars left for WCW in the mid-1990s, the real new generation that will soon fill WWE shows are those that weren't even born for that seminal paradigm shift.
Vince McMahon infamously railed on millennials during his 2014 podcast interview with Stone Cold Steve Austin, presumably because they were one of the last generations to know that wrestling didn't just have to be whatever his monopoly dictated.
