2. Exposed Paper-Thin Roster
In 1993, outside of a few top stars, the WWF locker room wasn't exactly bursting at the seams with money-making talent. Men such as Shawn Michaels were still finding their feet as featured names, and apart from a select few, there wasn't really a lot to shout about. The Undertaker, Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan and Bret Hart were the biggest names around at the time, possibly even joined by Randy Savage, even though McMahon wasn't too interested in booking him as heavily as he had done previously. Flair was soon to depart, heading back to WCW, and it was obvious that Hulk wouldn't be around for too much longer. The result of this was that the live show, Monday Night Raw, came across as filler a lot of the time. Matches such as Friar Ferguson squashing local jobbers, Bret Hart beating Samu, and Shawn Michaels defeating Max Moon didn't really do a lot to make Raw the exciting weekly package the WWF had promised.
