>The Ruthless Aggression era was better than the Attitude era

have sex

Never understood why some people say this. They just talk about how good SmackDown was and ignore that RAW was the Triple H and WCW reject show for two years

I think it was more balanced and had less over the top dumb shit than the attitude era

but it also lacked the ascension of rock/austin and other dank stuff

overall I think it was decent and I still enjoy it

That's because Ruthless Aggression era Smackdown had a little bit of everything. Match quality, good promos, good storylines, good booking, just enough violence and titties.

It doesn't have the problems with booking, stories, and segments that modern stuff does considering Paul Heyman's good on all those ends, but it doesn't have the bloated roster, nor the dumb filler segments, nor the overuse of blood, nor the shit match quality of Attitude Era.

Yes but Smackdown was half of the company. RAW was the other half and it was terrible, so bad that it even managed to lose to Smackdown in the ratings multiple times which is embarrassing

People have fond memories of the era that was around when they first discovered wrestling at age 8-10. But objectively, Ruthless Aggression was not even as good as The New Generation.

billy and chuck were the GOAT

The attitude era was the triple h and ECW reject show for 3 years

>>2224912
The Attitude Era had vastly more goofy shit than that, even the main storylines like the Undertaker taking Stephanie's and "le it was me Austin" we're outright silly.

And the ruthless aggression era ended after WM21, the Vince vs God shit was the post ruthless aggression era

That's not Hardcore Holly

This is fair. I started watching wrestling in 2002, when I was a little one. Some of the Ruthless Aggression stuff hasn't aged well. But it was better than the New Generation. But whoever thinks its better than Attitude is daft.

1 Attitude era
2 Ruthless Aggression
3 Steroid era
4 PG era
5 New era
