Compare it to what came before for. Then tell me its not, you dunce.

Only in the facet that image, hype, and people talking/doing gimmicky stuff was more important to it than the in ring choreographic storytelling.

The style over substance kinda postmodern.

Considering it was about as vulgure, in your face, and "attitude" as rest of the 90's. Wrestling just finally caught up with the times. Nothing post modern about it. Very modern for it's era.

But denying that it isn't postmodern in comparison to its history is ignorant. Sure, edgy stuff like south park or whatever emerged around the same time, but the company itself changed its presentation that rejects what WWF was doing in the 80's to mid-90's, like blurring the lines between face and heel, sex appeal, and excessive violence. It's not like the late 80s itself wasn't edgy, just not as prominent.

I don't see how it's "post-modern" at all and don't think you know what that word means.

It was all falling in line with different type of media that have been going on for years though. It was different from what wrestling was and would be from there on in. To imply it was ahead of any curve is kind a stupid considering how we've seen how they've just constantly toned down the AE since.

Attitude Era was hardly "the next step", it was just buying into the times cause Vince was sweating bullets over losing the company. So it needed to have Jerry Springer like segments, South Park humor, and all the blood and crazy antics to get people watching. It's 90's carny shit.
