After Stone Cold's storylines, Vince's Corporation storylines, Mankind's storylines, The Brood/Gangrel/Edge's storylines, and the Ministry of Darkness storylines wrapped up my care cup emptied out pretty quick.
The Attitude Era had actual real wrestling, real fights, real injuries. Scott Hall got his teeth punched out one match. The company is so PG and safe in what moves it allows and what wrestlers can do I can't get into it. Take HHH, Rock, Taker and a few other guys off this card and its junk.

There is still a lot of blood and violence. Wrestlers are getting injured left and right due to the physicality in the matches, but it does take some time getting used to no chair shots to the head. Other then that i can count lots of times recently wrestlers are busted open and pouring blood, even as recent as last week. Check out this pic of cena after getting his nose really fucked up during a match on raw a few months ago: [You must be logged in to view images.

Admittedly I haven't seen much PPV at all since Attitude and was basing my opinion off of RAW 2005-2012. I remember watching a few RAWs and being like "this is pretty soulless, RAW used to be electrifying". Those "can't miss" RAW days during the Monday night wars spoiled a lot of people. Even Vince was saying they went too far. Part of the yearning for Attitude is definitely being young again and nostalgic, but it was a damn hell of a time for pro wrestling. Vince Russo delivered again and again. I miss J.R. and King together. There was strong talk of JR doing some MMA commentating, would have been cool to have him cross over in his prime from the Attitude era to the UFC.

That Hell in a Cell touched on some Attitude Era there for sure.
The Wyatt's have gotten a lot darker and weirder it seems since I saw them years ago. I remember when creative didn't know what to do with them. Def an Attitude vibe now, that ending was really harsh. Its tough not to hear JR calling the shots on a match like that. His announcing was half of Attitude for me.

Make no mistake, they still have absolutely no idea what to do with the wyatts. The storyline went to shit two RAWS in after that match and immediately became forgetable. The wwe's biggest flaw since ive started watching again is the storylines, which is why RAW and Smackdown mostly have been unwatchable and i ignored the shows for a long time.
A lot of wrestlers including Mick Foley and Steve Austin have been very vocal about their dislike for the storylines too which I think they are now starting to pay attention to. The fans at last years Royal Rumble almost had a riot due to the booking of the finish and since then they have been putting some effort into the PPVs, like you see in that match. Vince Mcmahon came back after the last PPV and his involvement as a heel with his antics against Roman Reigns have been hilarious and very close to old school McMahon of the past and sort of saved the show and the ratings have went up. I'd say half the RAWs since the PPV have been good but half of them sucked, which is a good record for RAW this year. The announcers have been really bad. Booker T and JBL need to be fired. Fortunely they just signed Mauro Ranallo and he debuted on Smackdown two weeks ago doing commentary with Lawler. He was great and the best person to probably announce since Jim Ross. His chemistry with Lawler was really good and Lawler was busting his balls and actually acting like he was in the 90s. Hopefully they'll end up replacing the entire announce team with quality announcers. | ||

Anyone with exposure to late 90s early 2000s tuning in had the same complaint about the new announcers. Which was tons of dead air, and weak hype not doing justice to the matches that were taking place. Mauro is a huge signing. He knows all the history and his style is basically JR 2.0 with a bigger quirky vocabulary. They desperately need a big voice ever since JR left. Why in the fuck did it take until 2016, that strikes me as bad business. Glad they figured that out.
