These Days Than in Years Past???
Reason I'm asking.....I'm probably a little older than most Sherdog posters on here (36), and it just seems like the fans today tend to get tired of a feud or booked title run must faster that what most once did, especially in the WWE these days.........
Some cases in point: ++Just 6 months ago....everyone was eating up Goldberg returning on Raw/the Brock feud, by Wrestlemania.....ready for Goldberg to leave for good.
++Roman Reigns went from being voted what, 2014 Superstar of the Year by fans, to fans asking for him to be released and sent to TNA by mid 2015.
++Smackdown/RAW have just been split as separate rosters/shows for a little less than 1 year now, and they're already wanting to split all the rosters up.
++Has anyone actually held a singles title for longer than 6 months in recent years....that wasn't relinquished by injury??
Don't know if it's the social media/electronic age.....but I really don't see the new up and comers being able to last more than what, 5-6 years at a time on the main roster before they're spit out in the future. Kind of hard to believe now that some guys were able to use/run the same gimmicks/move sets/look for decades at a time, while I'll look for most now to be retried out by the time they're 35.
