straight up, we are SPOILED right now with the product

I totally agree.

The Attitude Era was so top heavy we forget the fukkery like J.O.B Squad, Mideon, Axel and Crush, Savio Vega, etc. etc. yeah it did produce the best out of Owen, Rock, Mankind, Austin, Taker, Angle. etc but the bottom of those cards was filled with crap like Gillberg and the Blue Meanie.

As far as pure talent goes I think this era is good but to me Ruthless Agression was just as on par if not better. You got Cena, Mysterio, Lesnar, Edge, Mark Henry, Batista, Randy Orton, etc. breaking out ALONG with HHH, Angle, Taker, Hogan, Rock, etc. at the top.

Cant make up your own set of facts....the wwf of the mid 90s was losing millions of dollars a year. The wwe of today is organization whose profits are in the hundreds of millions of dollars. True, wwe has developed revenue streams that werent accessible before, but Vince signed a cable distribution deal that brings them close to 100m gross, and that contract was struck with Cena as the face of the company. And they will ask for more when that deal is up next year.

Cena is absolutely a bigger star than Savage was at this point in their respective careers. Savage now is the more iconic and known figure, but thats after a full career, post-retirement, and death....We'll see where Cena stands in 10-15 years.

I get what you're saying, Cena may have done more than any one star because of how he carried the product to insane profits when literally no one else was there to help him... but we cannot forget that Taker, Rock, and Lesnar have all helped make the Rumble-Wrestlemania run in these last three years.

breh i was fooled too..i was a big fan as a kid

i DARE YOU to watch a match of theirs with their slow motion bumps and winning with the freakin BATTERING RAM and seeing guys torture themselves to sell it

Bushwackers got a bigger reaction from the crowd than 90% of the roster today.

Back then the WWF got the audience to actually invest in it's characters and their matches. When their music hit, people actually cheered. Even the bushwackers, a sideshow tag team meant to get a rise outta children... were a huge hit. So much that people still talk about them more than 20 years later.

Wtf

Cena is nowhere near the star Savage was or is. He doesn't have even 1/2 of the national notoriety that Savage did.

Savage is just below Hogan, Rock, Austin as far as name recognition goes
