I used to be a huge fan of the [b]WWF, [/b]my favourite all time wrestler was Kane (With mask). The Era of Wrestling i grew up with was the [b]Attitude Era[/b], less censorship, better more dramatic and unique stroylines, wrestlers that could define themselves merely from their appearance, not 1 single wrestler becoming WWE Champion/contender 20 times in a row cough John Cena cough. The current Era of the now known [b]WWE[/b] is referred to as the [b]PG Era, [/b]appealing to the younger market through cliche characters and simple storylines. Now I have a feelign this poll will have an overwhelming haul to one side, as I see countless fans cheering of the Attitude Era and countless posts on youtube comparing the two. Which do you prefer and why?

I prefer the late 90's/early 2000's. The name has nothing to do with it. To be fair, what has been done to WWE was a pretty damn smart move, they marketed to kids and made a s*** ton of money. Vince is a damn genius. However, to also be fair, they're trying to bring back older fans. Kevin Nash is back in the WWE and they seem to finally be doing away with the brand extention and possibly PG O_O Cause alot of the wrestlers have been doing and getting away with more than what you typically see on a PG show.

I only started watching around 3-4 years ago so I wasn't around for the attitude era,
but I've seen clips and DVDs and what not,

the attitude era seems a lot better, I t was smart thou so the little kiddies could watch and they get more ratings, but going so vanilla to have to change a name like STFU :/ really? I bet kids don't even know what it means. for all they know is that it stands for sugar taffy fun unircorn

I miss DX thou :C

Isn't WWF that nature/animal rights organization?:/

Yeah. Its the reason why the name was changed. WWE used to be called WWF (World Wrestling Federation), but the WWF (World Wildlife Foundation) sued them for using their initals. Which prompted WWF to become WWE.

I was a fan of the early years of WWE. Say, 2003-2006. Not that the Attitude Era wasn't really good, I've seen the PPV's, it just wasn't the time that I watched it. WWE slowly went downhill from 2007 and then it's been awful since the PG turn. Unfortunately, despite that it's now a lot better, TNA is still also poor so I don't bother with any wrestling nowadays.
