Hi all it's Dazzaschofield back with another blog.

I hear a lot of argument on her about different era's and how people want the WWE to move on and others don't think it's been as good since the attitude era. This has all been personal opinion so I though I'd throw a blog together with some stats and a Raw 1999 vs Raw 2012 analysis.

Firstly here is the roster breakdown for each year;

1999
Superstars - 57
Diva's - 14
Tag Teams - 18
Others (managers, Announcers & Authority Figures) - 7

2012
Superstars - 51
Diva's - 14
Tag Teams - 3
Others (manager, Announcers & Authority Figures) - 11

Looking at the above it seems that how the show is put together has changed compared to 13 years ago, this is almost certainly to fit in with the change in viewing habits.

Its seems in 1999 there were less segments with a wider variety of superstars in them, they would have done this every week developing a characters story slowly as they only had a few mins to do so each week.

Today's fan is a lot more impatient and so more segments need to be given to a smaller number of superstars in order to move the storyline on quicker.

It's obvious from the above that it's not a lack of superstars thats causing the problem as the roster size is almost identical, the main difference is the huge number of tag teams within the roster size that has changed. Maybe we need more stables and tag teams to get us involved.

Maybe it's just us that need to change and not the WWE?
