Why doesnt the 2005 WWE wrestling boom get any credit?

Heidenrich v Undertaker at survivor series '04 surprised me:ehh:

He looked decent in the ring compared to them bums Jindrak, Tyson Tomko, Luther Reigns, Orlando, Snitsky etc..

2004 been a trash ass year tho (my girl and I started from WrestleMania 14 and have watched every raw, smackdown and ppv till survivor series 04).. hopefully this supposed "boom" picks up :dead:

the NWO is responsible for the late '90s boom period.

the attitude era extended it an extra year or two, but WCW is responsible for that last boom.

Nah I was in the thick of it at the time.. grade school/ middle school

And when the attitude era came along half of my classmates became wrestling fans overnight

It was a true boom period

2016 boom had much more long term impact. 2005 boom lead to a decade of John Cena

Because it basically halted the slide but didnt create a boom per say or put up numbers to rival the other 2 boom periods

Also I'll say it again: As much as the Ruthless Agression era brought fans in and people remember it fondly. The storylines were also like a stale version of the attitude era (DX reunion, Bat*tsa vs Rey with Eddie's death, Vince's Son, Vince vs God, ECWWWE etc etc) and at the time they were complaints.
