the 02-05 era was solid but it was a drop off storyline and character wise from the Attitude Era and it was almost as if they knew it.

They focused on building new stars and characters which produced a lot of misses but some good hits. And it was sort of unique having the show and brand not focused on one central character like Rock, Austin, HBK, Bret, etc as they had been during most of the 90s. Outside of HHH beginning his reign of terror, who the top babyface was, was up in question until Batista and Cena rose to prominence.

The worst nostalgia is for Undertaker's American Bad Ass run or Triple H's mid-2000's run. Both arguably the most painful runs for any wrestling fan :francis:
at least bikertaker made me hate him. i rooted against him in every match with all of my being. I remember wanting jeff hardy to win that ladder match so damn bad too

if you were on the internet around those times you'd know fans shytted on the product just as much as they shyt on it now and john cena's hate was arguably worse than reigns

with that being said, 15-20 years from now expect this era to be looked back at in a similar manner

Even before I became a “smark” I stopped fw Cena when I was 12, I didn’t like that his character became all cookie cutter and cutting corny ass promos. Same reason why I never liked red & yellow Hogan

ABA Taker was cheeks. And I say this as someone who has Taker in his Mt. Rushmore of wrestling gimmicks.

Big Evil Taker, though? Y'all can't TELL me you didn't enjoy him getting his bully on.
Big Evil Taker:wow:

when he hit that ice cream man with the Last Ride:wow:

Wrestling fans kill me with their revisionist. I was binge watching old wwe intros and nikkas in the comment section always talking bout the good old days.

Smackdown was ass in 2004. Outside of Cena and Eddie's story-arc wasn't shyt interesting about Smackdown. Don't even get me started on how shytty Raw was, especially in 2006 omg.
wasn't 2006 the DX year? :picard: one of the worst years of all time no cap
