The last time WWE was good and had some soul

[Chris Cool]

2010-11 was cool to me.
Cm punk
The rock returning
Heel truth
Swagberto
Swag ziggler

Christian getting the belt, even though it was only a day.

And the best part of the whole year

The most must see champion in wwe history.

 

[Take It In Blood]

The last time was when it was called the WWF

2011 was probably the first and final time WWE actually gave a damn:

• Summer of Punk
• TLC 2011 title photoshoot
• R Truth main eventing a PPV
• Miz being legit

Whoever wrote those storylines and ghostbooked that year needs to be in AEW

Has there ever been a consensus on when the ruthless aggression era begins and ends?

I find it's an era that ages well. Lots of stuff from the attitude era doesn't, but the 96-97 stuff and the ruthless aggression stuff does.

Read "and had some soul"

There's some good moments every year but the shows still feel empty and plastic in every facet and been lost its cool edge

ruthless aggression ended when PG started, notably when Vince chewed out Batista for blading in a Raw Steel cage match

nikkas was still complaining about the shyt back then, and hyping up TNA/ROH


Swore WWE was about to die



All this shyt clock work... y’all gon be crying about how trash everything is in 2030 when Dan Matha is winning his 5th universal title

Yeah if you’re like 40

Everybody knows who John Cena, Randy Orton, Big Show, Kurt Angle, Rey Mysterio, etc. are. Nobody’s gonna be making curb stomp memes in 2028

Nobody besides internet geeks knew what TNA and ROH was The quality wasn’t as good as Attitude Era, that’s why people complained. The point is the product completely lost its edge after this time. If in 10 years Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns are as iconic as Orton, Batista, Cena, Mysterio, etc. I’ll stand corrected

 

[MikelArteta]

remember going to read wrestlezone spoilers every week never missing a show, buying merchandise

I was in 10th grade. shyt was off during this period. I've drifted in and out and this was a period where nobody i know watched that shyt. Really though, that's every year past 02. maybe you got a point.
