CM Punk Circa 2004
Dark Match Winner
1st off I know ECW is really what motivated WWE to start the Attitude Era, that and needing to compete with the at the time Superior WCW. But...Really, The NWO was formed in August 1996. Austin 3:16 was born before the NWO, but didnt really kick into gear until the next year in 97. And logically I think we all know DX wouldn't of happened without the NWO and WWE needing to change it's image from the family friendly kiddy crap "oh that sounds familiar
" So I guess im just saying, didn't WCW really start the Attitude Era and it was WWE that just simply did the same thing but super exceeded it?
A funny side note. There was an apparent ECW Fan at BATB 96 where Hogan turned heel loving every moment of it.
