Were you a fan of this time period or did you dislike it?
as someone who started watching about a year ago, this seems really crazy

Glad to have not watched during this period, jeeez that looks boring
>>2342952
What a shit time period. Its no wonder that no one was watching
>>2342952
This seems likes a comfy time
>Kofi is the most over person in that photo today
Literally ONE (1) of the champs in that pic was charismatic, the other were boring as shit to watch
>>2342952
I wasn't watching but I don't really dislike anybody there. Punk is the GOAT of the post Austin era
I was watching at that time and was stoked about a bright future for once. Shortly after that pic was taken everything went back to shit and I gave up on the product for good.
it was meh. I'll be happy to never see evan bourne on my tv again

I stopped watching wrestling before the Nexus showed up and started again with the Raw where Ryder Bryan and Punk came out to celebrate
Wasn't a huge fan of Bryan but I recognized that he had talent and he's been great as GM of Smackdown

I stopped watching in 07 after the Benoit incident and started watching again after Seth killed Sting because of shitposting on /sp/. I feel like I didn't miss anything of value in 8 years.

This. I've seen highlights here and there during those dark ages, fucking shocked how the company didn't go under with the utter dogshit they had. What person in their right mind actually watched this weekly?
>>2343036
fuck off people power was awesome

Wrestling is unironically much better now
>Cena no longer restricted by being a cartoon
>BMAJ
>based Miz and Maryse
>based Braun as the best big guy of a generation
>BBDWTS
>more attractive women
>comedy gimmicks that aren't pure cringe
>wrestlers like Rollins and BMAJ with actual talent
>everyone with perhaps the exception of Roman given more creative leeway
Face it the only reason to like 2011-12 over 2015-17 is if you're a CM Punk mark or you're such a bitter cunt you refuse to enjoy wrestling

This and last 6 month of 2011 was awesome.
