YEP YEP YEP WHAT IT DO
Ok, before I start, I just want to say don't reply if your not going to read the whole post. I don't want to have to reply to any moronic posters. I would say noobs, but not all new posters are morons by default. But since I know that some fucktard will still reply with an opinion just based on the title, I'm going to put the important points in bold. L-I-K-E T-H-I-S.
The Attitude Era was great.
However The Attitude Era ruined wrestling.
Let's take a look at wrestling for a moment, shall we? Everywhere you go, you see hatred of the WWE main-eventers. Four in particular. Batista, Triple H, Randy Orton, and most of all, John Cena. Chris Jericho and Mysterio get hated by some, but not like those infamous 4. Taker and Michaels aren't there that much to begin with, and somehow Edge is above this. Now I can't seem to grasp why there is so much hatred for the WWE's main-eventers. I mean, Orton and Jericho get ripped for there slow, robotic, monotone promos. But isn't that how a heel's supposed to act? Didn't Kurt Angle get disliked in his feud with Cena for the WWE title for using highflying moves. Wasn't he called a bad heel? Orton and Jericho get burned for being slow and monotone. Cena, Batista, and Mysterio get burned for pandering to the kids and being "goody goody two shoes". Ok. Let's look at the top two names of today: Orton and Cena. Let's look at the top two names of the Attitude Era: Steve Austin and The Rock. Do you see a pattern?
The Attitude Era set the standard of professional wrestling so high that it can't be beat.
The Attitude Era was something new. It was something exciting, something that we as wrestling fans had never seen before. I loved it personally. But by technical wrestling definition, it was the apocalypse of professional wrestling. The lines of heel and face were blurred. In fact, the only true and consistent heel was Vince McMahon. The Rock, who was the top heel, was cheered for his excitement and awesome promos. Orton and Jericho are hated for there boring and monotone promos. But they do there job, and that is to get booed. Austin did what a heel should do. Come down to the ring with chairs and beer, and fuck shit up!
Fast foward to today: Cena and Batista follow most rules, Orton and Jericho are considered boring. Nobody does anything out of the ordinary. The only thing left of the Attitude Era is Triple H, and still, he rarely uses the ol' sledgehammer anymore. Now none of this makes the WWE boring, but fans are disapointed in the product that the WWE puts out.
Some say the answer is to bring the Attitude Era back. This is not the answer.
How much edgier can the WWE get? Have divas wrestle naked? While that might increase the amount of time you ejaculate, it still isn't going to help much, plus I'm sure the divas won't go that far for a paycheck. So what is the solution? Have wrestlers drop the N-bombs and F-bombs. No, that's not it. There is nothing more the WWE can do, unless they go X-rated, but really would you want to see that? So no, the Attitude Era can't be recreated. Not to mention that fans wouldn't accept it. You know how I know that? I've seen it before.
I'm sure we all know a man by the name of John Cena. Well he is how I know, a second Attitude Era won't work. Look at the stages of this man's career. When he was strapped with the white rapper gimmick up until the time he was drafted from Smackdown, he reminded me of Austin. Then, in about 2006-07 he reminded me of the Rock. Now since he came back in 2008 he reminds everyone of Hogan.
Look.

Talking shit to McMahon? Where have I seen that before?
Cena's Rock Era:

Calling the interviewer a sick freak? Sounds familiar?
Cena's Hogan Era:
He walks around respecting everybody, tipping his hat and shit, and well look at his shirt:
So Cena replicates the 3 biggest stars in wrestling history and still gets hated? So recreating the Attitude Era is definitely not the answer. But what is? I'll tell you: Nothing.
So in conclusion, the Attitude Era was great for the 4 or 5 years that it lasted, but it ruined professional wrestling in the aspect that it set the bar so high, that it can't be beaten. Tell me if you agree, or If I'm insane, but please mature and intelligent responses only.
