Who else here agrees that the WWE is really, really in need of
new ideas right now?
I feel they should be moving on towards the future, not just
staying around in the stale near-post-attitude era.
I appreciate Vince's attempt to recreate the Attitude Era, but if
he thinks that just because ECW and DX are back, then we'll think
it's the AE again, then he's dead wrong. He's begun bringing back
all the popular things from the AE, like the Brothers of
Destruction, and the Hardyz.
The ratings prove it:
1999 (Highest) RAW (Middle of the Attitude Era): 8.1
1999 (Lowest) RAW: 4.2
1999 (Highest) Smackdown!: 5.8
1999 (Lowest) Smackdown!: 3.5
2006 (Highest) RAW: 4.5
2006 (Lowest) RAW: 3.3
2006 (Highest) Smackdown!: 3.0
2006 (Lowest) Smackdown!: 1.9
Most storylines nowadays revolve around either "You have a title,
so I hate you" or "You said something about me, now we will
fight".
I know that the glory days of Rock vs Austin are long gone, but
can't they at least move on, instead of staying in a
pseudo-Attitude Era?
What do you guys think?
