I think they overstretched themselves and the roster became quantity rather than quality, leading to sub-standard matches and too many feuds amongst the top fighters due to lack of personalities. I mean having Rick Flair, Finlay and Regal as top performers sums that up.
The tag division is a joke, there are too many belts that mean nothing now (does ANYONE know who the WWF Champ is?!) etc.
As soon as WWF brought in 'Smackdown' it all went to shit and just kept getting worse.
Well to be fair mate in 2002 Smackdown used to be the show to watch if you wanted to see quality wrestling. During the early of the brand extension Smackdown was awesome.
And even when Velocity was around Smackdown was putting on good matches on Velocity aswell. (The Akio-Paul London series, Numerous Cruiserweight matches, A few of the Chris Benoit and William Regal matches, etc,)
If i can find some video's of Smackdown's better days on youtube i'll post them here or in another thread.

Speaking of threads can someone a wrestling thread if there isn't already one.
As all of this talk is bringing back memories from when wrestling was great.
