I was actually going to make a thread about the attitude era later. I think the thing that people forget, was apart from the more 'edgier' storylines it was the character evolution that defined the era.
For example we had Hunter Hearst Helmsley turn into HHH, The Roadie into the Road Dogg, Rockabilly into Badd Ass Billy Gunn, The Ringmaster into Stone Cold, Rocky Maivia into The Rock etc.
With todays characters I honestly don't believe you could have the same transformations with the same effect. And the reason for that is that we have become too smart. It was easy when we were younger to accept a jobber becoming something better, but if we were all honest we'd struggle to do it now and bitch and moan how *insert name here* has been jobbing for 3 years, now we're meant to take them as a threat. Kane is a perfect example for that.
But yeah, pretty sure I'm dribbling shit now and not making sense. Maybe I should have just done my own thread for disscussion. But whatever.
