Correct. I do think in many cases WWE has found that nice balance of "gimmicks" versus "close to life" personas that they were trying to pull off in the last decade, but outside of Cena and Orton? I can't think of too many WWE has "built" in the last decade. Lesnar might be part of that but Lesnar was pre-Cena (and damn I miss that feud).
