That moment The Attitude Era officially ended



2:15 minutes in

Was like my childhood died.

I say this as the “attitude era part 2” kicked off on Monday.
No Vince McMahon. It’s all going to be run by Triple H 100% he is the new creative genius.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Attitude Era when it was happening as I was in college and my early 20s. But looking back on it now, the talent was amazing, the wrestling was amazing (due to talent), but man their gimmicks as extreme versions of themselves and what they were trying to portray as cool, I look at that now and just kinda laugh.

the internet ruined pro wrestling, I don't think it can ever come back

The crowds were definitely far more rabid too. Those crowds moved on in 2002-2005. Also wwf allowed fans to be any signs they wanted to shows even the uncensored ones. The crowds made the wrestlers like Gods larger than life when they were out there performing for the masses.

Wcw was great. Definitely had the more technical wrestling matches on the side . But they couldn’t do shock tv as great as Vince McMahon. Not even close.

I did appreciate their rich history. 4 Horsemen for life.

JCP/WCW was always the promotion I liked best. Even during the 1999-2001 nadir I still wanted it to come back strong-even though we all knew it was doomed. Southern rasslin was always superior to Northern.

Honestly, nothing will ever top 1996 - 1998 WCW, especially '96 and '97 and if you include the side merch like that Revenge video game. You'd regularly see main event tier performances by the cruiserweights within the first hour of three hour shows. I remember watching the whole shows with a buddy of mine as a kid, and we mostly didn't care about the first couple hours of the shows at the time, but they were better than we realized. I haven't found WWE entertaining in over 20 years now.

TV censorship- and the WWE pandering to it ruined wrestling.
