As If You Lot had such a bug up ur asse about the attitude era when u was young and watchin it....looking back on it mayb u can think hey yeah maybe sables tits on show in front of a load of kids is uncomfortable or immoral or whatever but at the time i'll bet u didnt over analyze it!!what the guy who made the last comment is gettin at is...u are makin it sound like at the time of the attitude era u was as smart to the business as u r now, which i highly doubt!!im 24 been watchin since 1990!!

First of all asshole, we're analyzing it, not over-analyzing it. Second, I can't speak for anyone but me, but those are all the feelings & thoughts I had at the time, so just because you didn't fuckin 'get' what was happening in front of your face at the time doesn't make me as stupid as you. Go post somewhere else where maybe they'll tolerate being told how they were 10 years ago by someone on the fucking internet they don't even know. Jerk off.

Since you can't read, or perhaps don't understand what you read, I'll have to explain it : That is how long we've been FANS. See, where it says, "Fan - ___ years?" That means we've been fans that long, not how long we've been alive. Furthermore, we'll comment on whatever we fuckin feel like, because, I dunno, some us do something called "reading" or "research." We're commenting on what we felt then, what we feel now, whatever we want. So go tell someone else to do, genius.

The point is that a lof of the people they let go could have been huge stars if WCW gave a shit. Jericho, Eddie, Benoit, etc. were huge megastars once they left that sinking ship while not changing anything about themselves. That says it all right there.

Let it also be known to those who say PG/Kids is ruining wrestling: How many of you WERE kids when you watching the Attitude Era? How does Sable showing her tits and Mae Young giving birth to a hand make wrestling better again?

WWE and wrestling in general need to really change how they do everything

[BoukenCrimson]

After watching videos from before the Attitude Era, I do agree that it isn't this amazing thing like some people think it is. Many people simply watched it for the storylines. One good thing about the Golden Era, New Generation Era, Ruthless Aggression Era, and even the PG Era was the focus on the ring.

[ThunderKnight19]

I personally agree that the Attitude Area that is a little overrated. 1999 was really poor wrestling wise and some of the promo segments a were too long or didn't evolve storylines (cough- the rock's this is your life- cough). Also the only segments I really enjoyed were the ones involving Steve Austin.

lol no matter how many times i watch this episode the intro always gets me. i seriously think you guys will talk about MMA haha, and i hate how everyone is an expert about the attitude era on these comments. Why dont people understand theyre watching a video where people are expressing their opinions yet they take it as if they're saying their facts. People need to grow up and learn to listen and absorb opinions

[J'Rome Brown]

The biggest stars in the WCW in the late 90s were Kevin Nash & the nWo, Goldberg, & Sting to name a few. Jericho & Malenko weren't that big. Just saying.
