People poo-poo the in-ring content of the Attitude era, but I’d honestly take it over most modern stuff because it just feels a whole lot more organic. There was this element of improv to it. Give me 4 minutes with 2 guys calling it in the ring over 14 with 2 guys who need to plan everything out ahead of time any day.

And you don’t need to be risqué to deliver great moments. A lot of the specifics of the Attitude era don’t hold up because they feel really immature. It’s more about something you can at least will yourself into believing is half-way authentic, even if it’s a real guy playing a stupid wrestling character so he has a job. Good booking and building logical pay-offs to stories with guys who have the skills to be stars helps too.
