>TFW you realize that 95% of the attitude era was awful and

It's true. Tbqhwufam

It's really true, havving watched 1997 and most of 1998, the only good thing about it was rocky and austin. Fuck shawn and HHHetty, Mr Asshole Billygun, and Roadcuck

No stupid. 97-99 was GOAT. When Russo went to WCW, WWF was good for maybe a year (the HHH/Steph, Angle storyline).

100% of WWE is shit now, so go figure.

I'm not a big Russo fan or anything but I wonder sometimes where this "filter" that Vince supposedly had for him has disappeared the past fifteen years as the company hits record low ratings and house show attendances

t. born in 1997

The filter meme is just WWE revisionist history

>>2227194

That's the problem. Russo gave the ideas, McMahon filtered them.

Since Russo left, the "filter" has been creating the ideas.

>>2227194
That's just it. There really was no filter . The proof is fucking Brawl for All

Lol what? Once Russo left it all went to Dog shit. Gang wars was shit I'll give you that tho

Fuck any autist that says 1997 was a good year:

>cringeworthy worked shoots (fuck Cuck Russo)
>Hbk and HHHetty making cock jokes
>Shawn refuses to job to people because he throws 6 year old hissy fits so
>worst Midcard in wwf history

>>2227230
Bret vs Austin was one of the best feuds ever cuck

>>2227230
Hi Cornette!

I think this might be why Ryan Ward is so valuable.

Anyone remember the light heavyweights?

>>2227018
road dogg is the worst. same boring promo every time. just shut up

main event scene was great

everything else had lots of downs and few ups

>>2227194
There wasn't a filter. Nitro under Russo has the same ideology as AE Raw Russo. Both times he popped ratings.

>>2227236
Literally the only good thing

>>2227261
That was so fucking pathetic and dumb

1999 was wrestling soap Opera at its finest

>>2226998
True. Late 2000, and early 2001 were especially GOAT.

>>2226998
>Its a smark born in 1998 episode

>>2229252
Late 2000s and early 2001 is when the ratings dropped like a stone. Everyone stopped watching.

>>2226998
>>2227013
I swear no one on this board was actually alive for the AE and are just making up their own revisionist history now.

You kids were too young to understand the AE that's why the Cena/RA era is what you default to.

>HLR

>>2229277
I started watching in '89.

If anyone truly believes 95% of WWF Attitude was bad, then they flat out just don't like pro wrestling. That's fine. But a bit weird to go on the official 4chan wrestle board and post about it.

>Big Ratings Russo has been gone for years and the show is shittier than ever

Russo understands that only smarks care about muh workrate and 30 minute fake fights. Emphasis was on compelling storylines and characters which attracted the casual fanbase. Not long after Russo left, ratings began to drop.

>>2229312
Wrong faggot, this is easily the most talented midcsrd we have. 97-99 midcard was really bad
