2000's average was higher than '99s
2000 was GOATsso’s backwash, The WWF was was still riding his wave in terms of story, momentum and characters. Notice in 2001 it was a crash in the ratings
Literally every single nostalgia act that the WWF has used in the last 10+ years has all been from Vince HOODsso, and all these midcarders getting into the Hall of Fame are all there solely because Vince GOATsso made everyone he wrote for relevant. Compare that to today and not only are the midcarders irrelevant, the main eventers are completely I irrelevant with absolutely zero heat and none of them are over
