I'm not saying that time period wasn't entertaining. I'm saying that the difference between Nitro and Raw getting 5's and 7's in the Nielsens is that group of people who were watching and just didn't know the difference.
You can't seriously tell me you idn't know anyone in that era who couldn't tell you who Rick Steamboat was but could recite Road Dogg's entire pre-match monologue.

at the Ricky Steamboat and Road Dogg comparison. you get repped for that
But If people hadn't wathced Wrestling before and didn't know about people like Flair and Steamboat, it's not their fault. I mean people have to start from somewhere. Most people started watching during Attitude. If they had never watched before how would they know about Steamboat? It's not a bad thing that attitude was the first time alot of people had seen Wrestling. But if the product had stayed as good as it was back then, people who tuned in simply because wrestling was kool would have continued watching today.
I'm not sure if that makes sense? I'm just making up shit now...
