Hellblazer14DMN Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Who's trying to hide the bad moments? There were bad moments, unlike today they were momentary, today is predominately awful, in reference to characters, their development and storylines. The current era started in 2008.Are you kidding me? 2013/14 is a completley different WWE in comparison to 2008.The AE had some great stories, but they seriously are a minority. Just like today. Some things had a lot potential, but were horribly done. Ministry of Darkness, Corporation, the whole Tag-Team Division after the LOD left, Blue Blazer, naked Mideon, sexual chocolate, etc For the most of the AE they tried to cover up the flaws with violence, swearing and nudity this !!!!! the ministry of darkenss had the potential but they ruined it... and i remember when ppl were complaining that they wanted more wrestling than acting and now they got it and they complain again loool. as a wrestling wise , it has to be one of the best era ever ,as a storyline characters not the best but its great and yes there are alot of problems right now just like always, and you cant compare 2011 - 2014 with 2008 -_-, the summer of punk made a new era imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockstar™ Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Summer of Punk makes a new era yet absolutely nothing changed, so I guess the summer of Bryan made yet another new era as well? LAWL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellblazer14DMN Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 aas tag team division, in 1998 it was poor, NAO and LOD the only two tag teams that were a treat for the tag division but then in 1999 we had E&C , hardyz, dudleyz... but you cant take away the amazign tag team division from today too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
μndrey Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 I liked the feeling of the old shows, they felt badass, like someone here said, Big Bossman dragging Big Show's dad's coffin, there was little to no pop songs, all rock songs. I've been hoping for something great to happen ever since 2008. In fact, I can pinpoint exactly when I realized that the upcoming few years wouldn't be great, it was Survivor Series 2008 when John Cena beat Chris Jericho. I was just plain bored and have been feeling like this ever since that night. The only exception is WrestleMania. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atleast for my personal taste^^ Just to clear something up... I don't have a problem when you prefer one era to another. But if you say one era is the best because of all the best things and one is bad because of all bad things...that's stupid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JGPLX. Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 I agreed but People got offended by Punk pouring Fake ashes on Taker and a Lawler joke. ( which he agreed with) so forget about getting a little bit more edgier. True story. People clamor for edginess, but when it happens, people complain. What Punk did and said weren't even that bad, yet people didn't like it. This is what edgy is. Didn't someone steal Big Show's dad's coffin at the funeral or something? Or WWE had Torrie's dad die of a heart attack? Seems one way or another, someone will complain about something. "omfg that's not edgy, that's just cheap heat/pop!!!!11" Big Show's storyline dad, and Torrie Wilson's storyline dad. That's the difference, just saying.

Let me recall from the AE. Stone Cold Kane Undertaker+Ministry Mankind DX (those alone are more entertaining than the ones we have now) Rock Jericho Vader and I'm pretty sure there are a lot more.

But if you say one era is the best because of all the best things and one is bad because of all bad things...that's stupid Who's done that? I haven't. I've discussed both the good point and bad points of all eras. You haven't and others that put down the attitude era haven't.

LAWL. it made the wwe a bit edgier for example some words like son of a b and etc and blood and etc. they call it the reality era for a reasonBlood? Blood? BLOOD? You still think they blade...? Son of a bitch has rarely if at all been said on wwe since 2008. Punk did have an impact, much like Austin's famous promo, the difference being things and the landscape changed some time after Austin's promo, nothing has changed since Punk's promo. So no, 2011 was not a dawning of a new era, it could and should have been but it wasn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevermore. Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 I don't even see the need for blood, either. Matches can be great without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E#37 Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 I don't even see the need for blood, either. Matches can be great without it. I agree with you that it's not necessary. However, some matches are better with blood to really show the intensity of the feud and hatred that the competitors have for each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still don't see the whole point in complaining about what Punk did if no one complained about Torrie or Show, even if it's just fake. Anyone gets edgy, people will complain nowadays. Especially when there are more kids watching now than there probably were in Attitude Era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maskedmaniac Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Forget the Attitude Era on it's own, the late 90's featured not just arguably WWE's best period in time ever, but we also had WCW at a time when the nWo and a ton of other great acts were still great or in their prime. WCW had Sting when he could still go, now there is just TNA and they have a Sting that is well past his prime and a bunch of WWE rejects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
