AJ Styles was not a big draw in the 90's. He's good now, but we barely saw him. I was never interested in the whole Hogan v Hart thing, it wasn't entertaining enough. Triple H, even though I never saw him as a factor before, I see his in-rang ability now because he doesn't use the same move over and over again, like Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar, and those other 2D wrestlers. AJ Styles uses a variety of moves, and could do a submission here and there. The Rock? He doesn't use the same moves over and over again. I could say the same for Austin, also. My favorite was Austin because he knew how to use the mic in the best way possible. His promos were exciting. The current crop of superstars don't have what Austin, Rock, Trips, or Cena has. I'm not even a fan of Cena, but I recognize his skills.
Attitude Era was awesome because risks were made. They were never afraid to use their character to the best of their ability. That was Angle's whole point in his HoF speech, and nobody seems to be inspired by it. The biggest risk was having Austin do the middle finger on live TV. You can't do it today because America is a bunch of guilty bunch of man-babies who are afraid of middle fingers or swearing. Wah. Wah. Shut the fuck up and get the fuck outta here. (Not to you
@Geese, I meant in general.)
I mean, Suits, which is a popular drama TV show - allow swearing in the fucking script, but WWE can't push the envelope because mommies and daddies cry over bullshit.
