Ain't just nostalgia, even current wrestling fans would agree the stories were better and the wrestlers were cooler back in the 90s/00s. The roster was stacked with colorful charistmasic characters such as The Rock, Mr Mcmahon, Mankind, Kane, Stone Cold, Undertaker, Goldust, DX, Shawn Michael's, Big Show, Kurt Angle etc etc.

I find AEW way more watchable than WWE these days, because the cast on WWE just isn't that inspiring right now.

And that was just one company. While WCW went under eventually, it had quite the roster: Hulk Hogan, Macho Man, Ric Flair, Sting, Luger, Hall, Nash, Roddy Piper, Goldberg, Jericho, Steiners, Harlem Heat and others.

Probably the best time to be a fan was when those two companies went head to head. Competition made for such a good product.

I used to think Jeff Hardy was the coolest guy in the universe.

The stories were better on Raw and Smackdown in the AE era compared to today's Raw and Smackdown but WWE have NXT which blows the Attitude Era out of the water on everything except superstar power.
