The thing is you like many others are still comparing todays wrestling to that of the Attitude era which had Steve Austin, The Rock, Chris Jericho, Undertaker and HHH in their prime, Mick Foley, Chris Benoit, Kurt Angle, Big Show and Kane but that was then and this is now and we are probably never going to see an era like that again.

Another big factor is the fact that WWE doesn't have any serious competition at the moment, i know TNA is around but their ratings are similar to that of Heat or Velocity so are not really concerning WWE right now, what is needed is something to take WWE out of their comfort zone and really give them a run for their money as at them moment WWE are, and have been since WCW went out of business, on cruise control.

The injuries haven't helped of course and to lose HHH, Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, Rey Mysterio, Mr Kennedy and King Booker would hurt any company as well as losing Big Show and Kurt Angle but seeing as these were the biggest stars in the whole WWE John Cena and Edge apart it has made Vince scrap every short term and long term plan he had, i doubt very much that Khali would be main eventing on Raw if HHH and Shawn Michaels were still on Raw and i doubt we would see Mark Henry involved in anything top level if SmackDown had Mr Kennedy, Rey, Undertaker and Booker but Vince has to make the best of what he has left at the moment.

I don't think we are going to see a dramatic improvement until Survivor Series when everyone barring Undertaker will have been back a while and got back into the groove but it will improve we just have to be patient, i don't want to see Khali, Mark Henry etc involved in the main event scene but until the major players get back from injury we have no choice.
