I like to think of this as the "Forced Star" era. I'm not just saying that to be negative, it just seems the best way to describe things. John Cena, Batista, Randy Orton, Bobby Lashley, Brock Lesnar and Rey Mysterio were all pushed fast and hard. The fans' selections in Matt Hardy and Christian were often ignored.

Not sure where I'd begin it, though. 2001/early 2002 seems like just the dying days of the Attitude era, where it tried to hang on. The brand split seems to be a defining moment of the new era. As well as Brock Lesnar winning the WWE Championship and Batista and John Cena with their title wins at WrestleMania 21.
