The attitude era is overrated as fuck. Crazy shit started happening. It drew in viewers because "what the fuck is happening right now?" but it wasn't sustainable.

I think the general idea is that the attitude era ended at the same time of the WCW buyout (early 2001). Which also happens to be the time wrestling started heading downhill.

Well, is that what the ratings show though? Whether or not the attitude era was a good thing or sustainable, did it cause a brief drop in viewership? Did "change" cause a significant drop in the audience?

I honestly don't think the core of Attitude was "crazy shit happening" I think it was stars that were over with the crowd and who got over with the general public. Mankind, The Rock, and Austin were insanely over. DX was a hot act despite wrestling like shit.

In my opinion it was a combination of "everyone's a superstar", "let's do heavily scripted scenes that don't fit into the broadcast style", and "the title doesn't mean shit" stuff that drove me and most other people away from the product.

My wrestling geek dream scenario is to be given the ropes and to come out at the beginning of raw and let the entire roster know that they aren't special, that none of them are superstars. I'd take the script for that night and burn it in a trash-can. Then I'd fire Seth Rollins because he's awful.
