LOL at 2006 being a great year for WWE. If by 2006 you mean 1999, sure.

Wait, who in WWE isn't showing motivation? Pretty much everyone who's regularly featured on television improved in some way during 2012, I thought.

The whole series is worthy of appreciation. Its easily my favorite thing that has come out of 24/7. I just wish they debuted more often.

I recently discovered the roundtable show and have enjoyed watching a whole bunch of episodes, but the Raw 1000 episode was kind of painful to sit through. A lot of horn blowing, some revisionist history (though nowhere near as bad as it's been done before in WWE DVD's, so this is a nitpick), things of that nature.
Concerning the comments guys like JR tend to make on that show about the new generation of guys just "not wanting it enough" or what have you, I'm torn on that. On the one hand, it's tough to deny the effectiveness of the old territories as training grounds for wrestlers; the territories also had the added benefit of being places where you didn't have to travel TOO ridiculously (unless you were working for Stu Hart, I suppose), so if you didn't really make it it's not like you were completely broken down.
But a bit too often I feel like the older guys are glorying aspects of the old days, even up through the Attitude Era, that WEREN'T positive things, that were in fact major health and safety risks that wrestlers were senselessly made to live through, and many suffered or even died as a direct or indirect result of.
I think JR, at least, is held back on those shows in really wanting to say more about the problems with the structure of WWE itself, but he risks less heat if he just discusses where he thinks current wrestlers can improve. Frankly, if wrestlers are coming into WWE and not working to get better, than WWE itself needs to address it, and be creative beyond "we'll pay you in peanuts until you improve".

LOL at 2006 being a great year for WWE. If by 2006 you mean 1999, sure. When did I say great. I wasn't comparing 2006 to the Attitude era... I was saying that 2006 was the last year WWE was more adult orientated and how I wish WWE more like that today.
