Some people Say "FORGET THE ATTITUDE ERA"
its gone forever, its like saying "how can I live my childhood again.

But As Far as I know I'm an Attitude Era mark -- yes, I admit, a mark -- and even though I admit the wrestling wasn't the main focus during the Attitude Era but the storylines were, I STILL pick the Attitude Era over any other era in wrestling. Always have, and always will. Believe me when I say this ,Give me Stone Cold's beer truck and Rock's awesome promos and Y2J and Stephanie McMahon acting like teenagers picking on each other again, and I would buy a ticket every single time. I'm as sick of the PG Era as I am of Ric Flair.


What is Vince's Point of View of not bringing the Attitude Era Back?

1). As much as I want Vince and the writers to go back to what made them so popular, you have to understand that vince isnt trying to hook my generation anymore (i'm 20) he's trying to hook the next generation because they are the future of wrestling. what vince is doing now is no different from what the major sports teams do: Rebuild. Vince is trying to rebuild the fan base and the fan interest and rebuilding may take up to 3 or 4 years. Lets say, for example, vince is trying to hook the 9 or 10 year old. These kids just want a hero like John Cena or Batista to be beaten like hell in the whole match and then the combination of 4-5 moves give them victory in no time. But thatz not their fault, they are lkids afterall!! I think it may take vince 3 or 4 years to actually hook them onto his product before going back to the "glory days". yes, most of us who grew up during the attitude era are suffering, the matches aren't that great, some of the superstars are getting stale, and the feuds are just as bad.

Back in the 80's and early 90's, vince appealed to both young and old fans. what changed was when wcw started competing with the wwf. bischoff started getting vince's guys to sign with him and started the monday night wars. vince's response was the attitude era. vince wanted to win the ratings war and would have done anything to get the ratings.

Vince is a Legend, He is a Perfect Buissinessman

The only way we could see another attitude era is if TNA or ROH starts beating the wwe in rating within a year and a half. but i don't see that happening since TNA won't push anyone younger than 35 and ROH just started doing weekly TV tapings a few months ago. Guess we're stuck with the PG WWE.

2). They don't have the characters, they don't have the wrestlers to bring back that era. I'm not saying that you HAVE to have a SCSA or a Rock to bring back that era but you do need overly charismatic characters and you need at least one huge new guy to push to lead that era. Someone that the people could get behind and want to cheer no matter what. The WWE did have that person in Kennedy but he got released. Other than that there is nobody else out there in WWE that can do it.

People will say Cena... but the thing is... for the Attitude to work... you have to appeal to the teenage demographic, not the kids cause the kids aren't going to really get it as well as the teens would. And since Cena doesn't appeal to the teens as they majority hate him while the kids love him... Cena can't be the face if there was to be a new attitude era.

Then on top of that you also need new faces, new faces that have potential to rise to the top. Thing is... there are far more components to make a successful era that could rival the Attitude era that just aren't there... but the most important aspect needed is a rival company. WWF had WCW to push them to try cause well... WWF almost had to fold.

TNA isn't even a blip on the radar and ROH... ROH is a smaller blip than TNA so WWE doesn't have to do anything "good" to stay afloat because right now they are doing just fine. They've moved on from our generation and are feeding the next generation. But when WWE starts to really feel threatened again ... surely they'll start to up things again and make it a lot more watchable than it is now.

Conclusion :

So here is a list of things about the ATTITUDE ERA

1). I miss the attitude era most because of The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin. If those two guys, two of the most famous wrestlers to ever step in the ring, returned... then I wouldn't have complained about the attitude era. I know a lot of people like the earlier storylines, but I don't see what's so good about them.

I used to like the important aspects of it, like the greatest introduction of all time, with Jericho coming out for the first time against The Rock. that promo was gold, and it was great catching up with it on Youtube years later. I know that there are a few great promos from the Attitude Era, and some great matches from that time period as well. The Hell in a Cell between Shawn Michaels and Undertaker was really good too, people say it was a great match.

Y2J was an awesome force during the Atitude Era. We saw Stephanie practically grow up on TV during the AE, including her wedding to Test and her drive-thru wedding with Hunter. We saw HHH and HBK do their stuff, and Road dogg who rhymed all the time. We had TLC Matches and Edge and Lita and APA. I could go on and on, but I won't.

We saw better storylines, and better tag-teams during the AE, and the ppl who had the belts kept the belts longer than two weeks at a time. The belts weren't passed around like hot potatoes like they are now.

When I compare the WWE now to the WWE during the AE, there is a huge difference, and there always will be.

Its just Austin and The Rock..thats it...I dont give a shit abt anyone else.


2). It WAS the greatest Wrestling ERA ever, don't try to deny it, because when asked most real wrestling fans (and I mean real, by people who have watched wrestling most of their lifes) will say this exact same thing.


3). People loved it because of *takes deep breath* SCSA, The Rock, Chris Jericho, HHH, HBK, Undertaker (biker gimmick), The Hardys, The Dugleys, E&C, ect. This list goes on for a freaking week.


4). Yes it had a lot more entertainment moments and less wrestling moments than wrestling had PROBALY ever had before, but the things about this where. Those entertainment moments where actually funny, and the wrestling that was done was freaking awesome.


5). Vince McMahon let himself get stunned and/or attacked regularly. This might not seem like much but look up videos of him getting attacked back in those days. Pretty big pops.


6). It's dead, GET OVER IT! There's no other way to put that. The single best era ever in wrestling is dead and gone and we fans of it need to move on.


We all know that Attitude Era wont be back, but fuck, saying current period of PG shit is better than Attitude is fucking moronic.


So We will End this from where it all started..I mean


"You sit there and you thump your Bible, and you say your prayers, and it didn't get you anywhere! Talk about your Psalms, talk about John 3:16 ... Austin 3:16 says I just whipped your ass!"



RIP Attitude!
