The attitude era was great because it had compelling storylines all over the board, not just in the main event. Usually everyone on the show mattered. The ME Title was not defended that often and was actually protected a lot. You had one off switches that went to Foley at times, but Rock would get it back very quick.
I wouldn't really compare today's wrestling to back then because back then you only had 4 major PPV's. That's why guys stayed champion longer and TV was mostly setting up/building angles. Once in a while you would see a title switch.
Wrestling today suffers from the fact that there's simply not enough guys protected anymore. Everyone loses quite frequently, minus a couple guys. I've already made my position on 3 brands. I hate it.
