Much as I love Gimmick Battle Royal stuff, there's just not enough change or roster turnover for stuff like that to even work anymore.

Look at WrestleMania 17's battle royal - Duke Droese was 32. Earthquake was 37. Nowadays there are lots of "up and comers" who are the same age those guys were in that match. In 2001 those guys felt like relics from an ancient time.

Nikolai Volkoff had been out of WWF for 6 years before being in the Gimmick Battle Royal. 6 years ago by today's standards you had...Roman Reigns vs. a part timer in the main event of WrestleMania, and Lesnar/Rollins/Styles/Wyatt on the undercard.

Can't be nostalgic about things anymore when nothing changes. 6-7 years used to be a lifetime in wrestling, it is now a blink of an eye and not just because we're getting older.
