Honestly, I hate the word "boom" in general. This man would like to have a word with you....

WWE obviously wants another boom period, but I can say with great certainty they do not want another Hulk Hogan or Rock.

While they're nowhere near any kind of trouble, of course they do. But "boom periods" aren't something a company can just decide to have at the drop of a hat- in fact, most of everything WWE have always done is and was to initiate one.
With Rock 'n Wrestling and Attitude, the stars were aligned for them to dominate pop culture and be "where it's at". The sensationalism of their product in the 80's fit the times, and the aggression of their product in the late 90's drew in the angry male youth of that era.
John Cena's been a fantastic spearhead for them, and I shudder to think how much better he could crossover if it weren't for UFC's successes.
