when you have Austin and Rock as your main eventers it negates all that bullshyt
It really doesn't. It did at the time because crash tv was hot(Jerry Springer, reality tv, etc). Looking back, it's tons of very low brow content(that's saying something for rasslin) that's a relic of it's time. Part of the reason i could easily let go of the network when they brought back Hulkkk was i tried to go back through alot of that stuff and it was a slog outside of the main events and even those aren't the best to revisit.

99 was almost complete garbage. Russo trash TV at its worst.

Things did get better in 2000 .

99 was the worst Attitude year by far.

But rose colored glasses or not, current WWE should probably find ways for their guys to not be out-popped by Crash Holly and Head Cheese.

You know this topic is a really good counter to the usual response of “Russo gave everyone something to do” that you usually hear as a defense in his honor :ehh:
Is it really better to be in a storyline where you fukk your sister, or are Beaver Cleavage (another incest storyline) or are apart of a group cutting off another man’s manhood (:dame:) as opposed to chilling in catering being told creative has nothing for you :jbhmm:
Contrast that with modern times where dudes are getting WCW contracts just so they won’t sign with AEW or whatever, should they be happy their making numbers doing nothing versus shyt like this :jbhmm:
