Also, those were the times before Cena, Orton, and Batista.... in my opinion that alone makes it the best time!
I don't mind Cena, Orton, and Batista so much. As long as they play their roles well (and they usually do), they're fine. In fact, Cena and Orton are two of the best in the business over the last decade. In fact, both have improved markedly over the last two or three years. I truly don't understand the hate either guy gets.
