Razor Ramon would have been labelled as just Ramon and been used like Cesaro was used today, Rick Rude would be Rick Boogs in 2022, Jake Roberts becomes Damian Priest, and Roddy Piper would debut on the main brand as "Butch".
Point being is through the late 80s and 90s the WWE had lots of stars because they knew how to build stars (and would let people have the freedom to build their own stars), that's gone now.

It was interesting to me when there were rumours that Disney was interested in WWE, because it makes perfect sense to me. WWE is essentially a formulaic, paint-by-numbers entertainment franchise at this point, not really dissimilar to what Disney has done with Star Wars and Marvel. I like Marvel for the most part, but it is what it is, and I feel like WWE fits into that type of ecosystem perfectly.
