There's no way you grew up during the Monday Night Wars, and favor today's wrestling product AT ALL. So yes, Wikipedia is obviously your life.
I'm obviously going to take Stone Cold, The Rock, and Shawn Michaels' word for it seeing as they did work in the Attitude Era and knew what the environment was like inside and outside the ring during that time period. You act as if wrestlers cutting their own promos without someone writing a script for them were taboo in wrestling. It wasn't. Kevin Nash did his own promos back in WCW and DDP did as well.

No one is denying the fact that the Attitude Era was a successful era in the WWE that started a boom period in wrestling. We get that but this idea that the Attitude Era was simply flawless with every storyline being well-written, gimmicks
totally not being ridiculous (Naked Mideon anyone?), and every wrestler being amazing wrestlers from the curtain jerkers to the main eventers gets old real fast.
You have to realize that when you compare today's product with the Attitude Era, you have to take in to account the fact that the Attitude Era was done to save the WWE from going bankrupt and also had Ted Turner and WCW trying to put WWE out of business. In today's product, they have no other competition to go against and they have no real reason to start another Attitude Era like they did back in 1997. people are still buying what the company is selling nowadays for a reason; because they enjoy the WWE's product, not because they
have to enjoy it. Otherwise, they wouldn't be spending their hard-earned paycheck on the WWE's product if they didn't enjoy the product.
It was different time period during the Attitude Era then, and it's a different time period now.
