What Was So Great About The Attitude Era?

Stacy, Torrie, and Trish

the game

WWF attitude!

Oh no...I can't decide whether that game is actually better than WWF Warzone. I vote no...because it was hyped to be so much better than Warzone. But it was just Warzone with extra crap added.

It was at that point that I ripped that cartridge out and put in .

Hardcore division and Jericho and Rock's promos. Seriously, they should make a "best of Promos" video featuring only these two guys. Two of the business' premiere mic men alone could make any episode of Raw or SmackDown fantastic. And then put all the great wrestling and edgy storylines on top of that...Man, I do miss them days.

I miss the Rock's promos. But I'm sure Jake's too cool for those, too.

Hole in one.

Attitude Era started in 1998. HBK left a quarter of the way through. There is only one other quality D-X moment.

5.Corporate Ministry

Really?

6.Kane

What did he do after Mania?

7.Tag Team division taken seriously

With 3 credible teams?

9.Hardcore title

10.Possibly the Era with the most memorable moments

The Rock made it entertaining and it was not stale. You did not really know if a title was gonna stay with a wrestler or change hands unlike today. The wrestling product was worse but the entertainment value miles better. If only we combined some of the wrestling talent of the early 90s with the entertainment value of the attitude era, you would have the perfect show. My favorite highlights from the attitude era include Taker throwing Rikishi off HIAC, Kurt Angle in general, and the Rock and Jericho badmouthing Steph.
