    Before the wrist fracture it was reported that giulia was gonna debut in July at nxt heatwave. Wrestling for a title which is most likely the nxt women's title since I seriously doubt they want whoever wins the women's north American title to lose it a month later. Her rumored heatwave debut & her match with sareee for marigold are days apart so if she's not cleared to wrestle at heatwave than her match with sareee will most likely be postponed.

    That nostalgia is clouding people's brains. The current era may not be as strong or better than the attitude era in terms of star power, but it most certainly has eclipsed the attitude era in almost every other way. 💯

I doubt streaming is reliable for people who replayed it or anything like that. In my case I usually watch with a friend who comes over and we binge it from noon to the start of night two.

    One thing that makes the Attitude Era better than Now is that the crowd’s energy was constantly 3 times better than what it is now. Backlash was a Mid-AF show, but the crowd made it a 5 Star show. That whole thing can be said for the Attitude Era.

    Anecdotally speaking for whatever it’s worth, I see way more people in public wearing wrestling shirts. I have random coworkers talking to each other about Wrestlemania. I meet random people at bars and hear them talking about wrestling. Compare that to 10 or even 5 years ago and it’s night and day. In the mid 2010’s it was a niche a guilty pleasure, nowadays to me at least it’s about as common as being a big comic book nerd.

      I think nostalgia plays a bit into love for the Attitude Era and people often forget a lot of the bad. This era from both a in ring and storyline wise is better overall than the Attitude Era. But the Attitude Era from a popularity standpoint is hard to top in the modern era.

      Well if you're gonna go that route than t.v. ratinngs dont mean much. Most people dont watch t.v. like that anymore due to the amount of streaming services and platforms. Back then more ratings equaled = more money, so if they are making more money now with more merchandise sold and wwe becoming more popular and more cultural in the world i would say wwe now already passed the attitude era, but dont confused i still prefer the attitude era ( entertainment wise)

      When you realize people don't consume things the same way in 2024 than in 2000, come talk to me. Who watches every TV show live ? Look at what is a platinum artist today, a box office record, and compare (adjusted for inflation), you'll be surprised. Attention is more split, people can be a wrestling fan without watchin live because they have the choice.
      Reality is theres probably more wrestling fans today than in the attitude era, if not then explain to me all the sold out shows outside of the US ? sold out house shows in the US ?
