Few reasons, I think.

WWE wiped out WCW which was good for them but the competition was good for wrestling i think. Some of the people that watched at that time drifted over to UFC and other things.

Vince has always been a cheap and doesn't want to pay the talent what they are worth. I wonder if The Rock would have stuck around longer if he was given his due.

Steroids are illegal now. A lot of the injuries that the old guys sustained destroyed their bodies and some of the younger guys are scared of doing that same thing.

A lot of the old guys are dead because of the crap they did and took on their bodies. Vince is cheap and doesn't want to have talent that is too expensive. Young generation doesn't want the sacrifice the older guys made. I think those are the reasons.
