Lucha underground, mlw, njpw were putting out fire wrestling at the time too, I was barely fukking w wwe at the time then they brought back Hoegan on top of a garbage product. : they made it very easy to not watch.
2019 was the worst year ever for WWE ever, absolute shyt fest, yes worse than 1995, it rebounded in a huge way, fukk Vince
As strange as this sounds: COVID may have actually helped the WWE in some weird way. We got some really great things during that short period of time. Bayley/Sasha, Roman turning heel, the entertaining MITB ladder matches, Cena/The Fiend and AJ/Taker at Mania were unique matches, no Brock to come in for three weeks before taking two months off, and I thought that Randy Orton/Edge GME match was pretty dope too. The writers had to think outside of the box for awhile.2019 and the build up to Wrestlemania 36 was WWE creatively at its lowest.
I really feel the wrestling Gods saved the company from creatively going off the deep end. It was DANGEROUSLY close to being like that again in 2022 after WM 38, but then the WSJ article came out.
What’s not talked about is how it was getting worse even with the WSJ article out. But then when he stepped down it was like LIFE was restored back into that company.
And almost over night the shows became watchable again.
Vince McMahon being stripped of his power will down as the most important moment in modern day wrestling history. He was single handily holding wrestling back from what it can be with his old ways.
Kinda wild to think the last Vince McMahon controlled WWE program was the Raw after WM 39. And it will go down as the WORST episode of Raw in the Triple H era..
Quite fitting..

After 2013 the company took a nose dive
2016-2021 was some of the worst television in WWE history especially 2018- 2020 with all the horrible creative decisions
Rematches
2/3 fall matches
No wrestling in between commercials
Non consistent storylines
List can go on
Sure they were the hot ticket because of Covid protocols were done and people could go to the shows but they didn’t get White Hot till they got Vince out
Jeff got fired, DX's on-again/off-again reunions, Undertaker's last year as a full time performer, Punk lost his hair and Batista holding the spinner belt.IMO 2009-10 is still the worst WWE has been in my time as a fan
That shyt was CRAZY. He looked blindWhen the tribal chief had colored contact lens
