So the past several wrestling Eras have been labeled, with the names widely accepted by the fans. They are:
1) The Hogan Era
2) The New Generation Era
3) The Attitude Era
Here, it is the year 2009, and like the bunch of slackers we all are, none of us still have a consensus for what to call this particular Era we are in now, but also the past Era, that transpired after the close of the Attitude Era.
The Wikipedia Entry has the Attitude Era taking place between the June 23, 1996 at the King of the Ring where the infamous "Austin 3:16 says I just whipped your ass" catchphrase was born .... and March 26, 2001, the Monday Night Raw where Vince McMahon announced that he purchased WCW.
With that in mind, we need to decide if we have had one or two separate take place up to this point. And then, determine what their names are, and when they began and ended.
My thoughts are that we have had 2 different Eras between the Attitude Era and today.
The Post Attitude Era
March 26, 2001 marked the beginning of what I would call the "Post Attitude Era", somewhat of a transition period in between the Attitude Era and what we see today.
There were still some edgy moments that took place during this programming, such as Katie Vick, the wedding of Al Wilson and Dawn Marie, the wedding of Billy and Chuck, Hot Lesbian Action, the Live Sex Celebration, etc. However, during the end of this Era, the WWE began transitioning over to a PG oriented product, until the rating officially made the switch.
I would probably mark the end of the Post Attitude Era as being July 22, 2008 when the product officially went Rated PG. That brings us to the next Era.
The PG Era
Kind of self-explanatory. However, I think this name fits the Era, because the WWE should be remembered for this little experiment. They should be held to praise if it succeeds, or held accountable if it fails, so everyone can remember years and years later what exactly went on in this time frame.
With that in mind, I would like to hear your thoughts and nominations for a name of the past Era/Eras, determine whether the Attitude Era extended until July 22, 2008 or if we had an Era in between, and cite a quick explanation on why you named the Era/Eras what you did.
