It's a good argument..

I think that the water started to boil after Summerslam 95. But the company didn't get behind the whole concept until just before WM 13. They realized they had nothing with that card, and the only way to make it special was to make it bloody. By that point you had Chyna killing Terri, Goldust in full force, Austin doing his thing, Bret being a bad sport, Shamrock, The NOD...

I'd say it ended about the time the Ivasion started. There is that "Ruthless Agression" era which is similar, but the difference is that era was corporate, the attitude era came from the real "attitudes" of the fed up workers.

I think the first "attitude" era star was Diesel. After the lost the title to Bret at SS 95, he was one bad mother fucker. Very much like Austin. Goldust could also be considered the first "attitude era star".
