Hi Allan, Wow! I guess you really are out of the loop. WWE has changed a lot since the Attitude Era when Steve Austin and The Rock were the two most popular performers on the roster.
These days there is a whole new generation of superstars such as Sheamus, John Cena, CM Punk, Ryback, etc who all emerged over the last 10 years or so as well as some classics like Chris Jericho and The Rock who got there start back in the Attitude Era. That's only the mail roster. The Divas division has grown and expanded a lot over the last decade, and there have been several female superstars who have come and gone such as Mickie James, Trish Stratus, Candice Michelle, Michelle McCool, Layla El, Maryse, Melina Parez, Beth Phoenix, Kelly Kelly, and the list goes on.
