The ones saying that this is a new Attitude Era weren’t around in the real Attitude Era and there was a lot of garbage around that time too people seem to forget about.

At most it's ruthless aggression era lite

This was a brilliant explanation of what the Attitude era was. To compare the current era to the late 90’s is ridiculous. Attitude was lightning in a bottle. It’s not coming back.

Your videos are a public service. You're right, that most of the wrestling fans today on social media saying this is the Attitude era 2024 didn't exist then, or were children. They only remember what WWE LATER told them about that era in dubious documentaries produced after they bought WCW and ECW. Even younger people in the wrestling media sometimes get this wrong because they look up flawed sources.

The REAL Attitude era had some intense action end storylines that made you care, today WWE is boring with no life scripts.(end i was born in 2002 so i watched it years after it ended.)

Remember when stone cold was in celebrity death match? Roman reigns is barely a celebrity

The fact that people are saying this is the attitude era 2.0 only because the WWE after 23 years finally have more than 3 Superstars at a time legitimately over is crazy to me smh.

A certain channel on this platform put this out and my eyes nearly rolled out of my skull.

Pretty much what made the attitude era was not only just the stuff that was happening in the wwf at that time but the pop culture and all around nostalgia people get from looking back at those times

After being in the IWC since 2005 (sadly…) I’ve noticed that there will never be a winner regarding what Era was better. Fans will always resort to the era they watched as children/when they were new fans. Nothing will beat what they saw when they were purely just fans. This is why oldheads hold the attitude era so close to their hearts. What’s funny is that no one likes the Ruthless aggression era while it was happening. That time period was swamped by fans saying the attitude era was better that Cena was a cheap Rock. No one likes the ruthless aggression era while we were in it. All the sudden now those kids grew up and we adore the ruthless aggression era. What changed? I have the same expectation for this “Renaissance Era”. We’ll all say it sucks and it’s not as good right now. In about 15 years when things change and we have a bunch of new faces we aren’t used to, we’ll magically love the days when Sami was in the bloodline, and Rock was a heel, and celebrity matches were always bangers, triple H was cookin good stories. You have a choice as a fan whether you want to spend this time complaining for the sake of complaining, or just enjoying the ride. -I wish I enjoyed the ruthless aggression era while it happened.

At this point AEW might as well be the attitude era too then lol.

Ruthless aggression is still better then attitude era. Imo. WWE just gotta be edgy product. That's all

wwe fans are overhyping the current product it really isn't as amazing as they claim it is, just because its better than it was three years ago doesn't mean its as good or better than the attitude era

Hate to be the "akchtually" meme guy, but somehow I feel compelled to point out that Vampire: the Masquerade 1) was made and owned by White Wolf, not Wizards of the Coast, at the time and 2) it's a tabletop RPG, not a card game

I liked the "Attitude Era" but I thoroughly enjoyed the "Ruthless Aggression" era more! For me, the Ruthless Aggression era had good characters and better wrestling than the Attitude Era. Less cringe and more sports-like "Entertainment".

Labeling this generation as the “new” attitude era, only draws comparisons and hurts the current product.

Whoever said that weren’t around back then as the wwe was everywhere in the 90s unlike today where almost nobody watches wwe the rock is carrying the wwe which is sad if the rock wasn’t there the ratings would be all the way down

There's been too much focus on "era" talk over the past 20+ years. We didn't sit around in the 90's and say "wow, this sure is some Attitude Era, huh?" even though Vince explicitly called it that. I think it's best if we all just sit back and let this era define itself with it's actions and booking before trying to tag it with a buzz word that there really isn't any value in outside of referencing it in past tense 10-to-20 years from now.

I've been watching old Raws so far, from 1997 and early 1998. So even though I was too young to see the attitude era during its time, to call current WWE another attitude era is laughable. Know that when I say that WWF back then was far better than WWE now, that is not nostalgia talking.

I grew up during the tail end of the ruthless aggression era. Batista and Cena were just becoming main eventers when I really got into wrestling. Honestly, I'm kinda sick of hearing about the attitude era. It gets held up so high that people overlook how great wrestling actually is now.

I was 10 years old when the attitude era was in full boom. This ain't it fam!!!!! Not one bit at all

It’s 2024. I thought we left the “Bring Back the Attitude Era” mentality in the 2010s. Let it go. It’s never coming back.

Just goes to show how brainwashed the fans are today, in the 90's WWF was the underdog and vince mcshat couldn't compete financially with ted turner, also the attitude era was a fad, most people stopped watching once MMA became more accessible to watch

To be fair this is the first big boom period wrestling has had in a while. Since Austin left I can't recall any 2 eras of WWE being more popular than the last. For ages every era of WWE was hugely less popular than the last.

I was 12, 13, 14 years old during the Attitude era. You don't have the big personalities like Austin or the Rock today. Austin could barely walk let alone wrestle at his peak. It was all about the promo and character made him a star. Guy's today are better wrestlers, but its really the characters that get over in the WWE style of show.

How long before we have an Onlyfans character in Wrestling?

This was an interesting take. I appreciate you sharing. I have been a wrestling fan since I was 6 years old and I am 32 as of this post. For me you were correct, I didn't know what the heck was going on. I just enjoyed the wrestling. The attitude era gets so much love and is the high bar of wrestling eras. For that, I respect it. For me, I thought the Ruthless Aggression era was the bomb! Nonetheless, I agree with you that this new exciting era, while fun and captivating, isn't in my humble opinion, the Attitude Era 2.0. It will be it's own era, with elements from other eras to fill out its growth. I dig the discourse though 🤠.

only the rock and cody can curse which is proof its not attitude era when only those 2 can do it which is funny since its coming from a guy went thru the attitude era and the other from aew where they can swear too, if they let more freedom in promos and anything can happen each week its more attitude era light but not full cause like this video that era was a different time and the world has changed so it will never be 100% like it again and we should just enjoy what this new era is now cause it sure its the best in over a decade atleast for me

Roman has been exposed during this wrestlemania build. More proof that he needs to drop the championship asap which he will.

Didn't they label this era with an R word I forgot.

As someone who wasn't around during the Attitude Era (in fact, I was born around the time Undertaker debuted as the American Badass) I love this video. Personally, I'm a fan of this era of WWE being called the "Cinematic Era" (or "Cinema Era" if you wanna lean into the Bloodline memes), or even the "Blockbuster Era", as I see lots of similarities between current WWE, at least on its main event scene, and many superhero stuff from the likes of Marvel and DC; in fact, even though I'm not a fan of thse types of movies, this year's Mania feels to Mania 39 like what Endgame was to Infinity War (or at least it seems like that's what HHH wants it to be). And it's very similar to how they borrowed from lots of pop culture things during the Attitude Era, just like you said or even like how Vince McMahon pointed out when they started doing that back in '97. I've also seen the term "renaissance era" thrown around, but I think that's a better name for the American wrestling industry as a whole, mainly with AEW becoming a thing and landing a major TV deal with Turner but also with the likes of TNA, NWA and even MLW being around in some way, shape or form.

Great video there will NEVER be another attitude era again the culture has changed and it can never repeat.

I heard that shot at a certain talker of wrestling.

Excuse me sir but the attitude era was also about PUPPIES! Among other great quality segments like dustin rhodes in a neon green gimp suit!!!...geez n u claim to know wwe...lol 😂😂

I been watching wrestling since im 2 theres no way this is attitude era 2.0 but i do think we are ip for one exciting era

How about the "Reagression" era?

To be fair as a person born after I recognize the era for its significance in mainstream western culture.

This is the cinematic era

Finally some worthwhile analysis that acknowledges the context of the 90s, and what was unique about this period of time.

This obsession with attitude era nostalgia is another reason why pro wrestling and sports entertainment (they aren't the same) will never prosper again. All wwe and aew have to do is book the talent they have properly and then they can create a new era. It's that simple.

When that PG 13 changes to PG 14 then till actually be over.

Not even close, this better than the attitude era. The wrestling is definitely a lot better now vs then

Thanks for the video ❤

Glad to hear you are fine after that horrible bridge incident. Big personalities pushed the era. And let's be honest, many of the storylines were awful. But you still wanted to see Ken Shamrock or Golddust or Val Venis. You never knew what was going to happen. Most of the matches were crap too. Today we have one person, who made his name in the attitude era, who is a big personality. But imo he is making Cody and Roman look weak since they get so much less time and then Cody freaking cries. If he won the title I could excuse crying. But he looks like a wuss. Roman is an after thought and I am not sure people even realize Seth is involved.

Thank you for not disrespecting The Attitude Era 🙏🏻 These dorks don’t know what they’re talking about.

I feel as well people have rose tinted glasses on when looking back at the atittude era like its an absolute perfect era with zero flaws when in reality it wasnt that great. 97 was the transition year where they were experimenting with what could work as wcw's nwo angle was white hot. 98 yes things got interesting with stone colds best world title run but the mid card wasnt that great. We had some great moments come out of this era like rock's heel turn and fued with mankind as an example. 99 was full blown russo writting so matches were now 2 minutes long with rest of the show mostly promos and vignettes. The roster was at its peak and would continue to get better come 2000 Year 2000 is probably its best year. We got much better match qualities and we now have eddie, benoit, malenko, angle on the roster along with jericho who debuted in late 99. A new head writer who was knocking it out the park. 2001- the wind down which comes to an end at mania, not much to say as it ended pretty early in this year. Overall i recommend people go back and watch the era now as if doesnt hold up as well. Personally speaking the ruthless aggresion era is a much better era

The Attitude era got I’ve because it was culturally relevant. And if what was culturally relevant to the late 90s early aughts was the racier content then so be it. The modern wwe is just out of touch with the real world,simple. Whether or not you were a wrestling fan in 1999/2000 you knew who Rock,Austin, and raker were because they were compelling. Roman reigns and Seth Rollins are dorks who no one cares about

The Attitude Era is the most overrated era. Yes, it a period in which wrestling was white hot and accepted by the mainstream audience but if you look back there were so many cons to it. Try watching a PPV from 1999 start to end and you'll see why.

It’s not a new attitude era. This is better. Attitude Era was just homophobic, racist, & transphobic nonsense & the entire era doesn’t deserve a sniff of praise at all as we got the worst versions of Undertaker, 60 second womens matches, & more garbage.

This is definitely one of your best videos. I loved the deep dive into the Attitude Era.

lol @ aew fans saying Osprey is a new Steve Austin and wwe fans saying they have a new attitude era😂

It was so cringe when they used fake blood this past Monday.

wwesg. Checking them boxes and getting that blackrock money is all they care about
