Simple question, out of the current superstars in today's WWE, who would have made it as a successful character in the Attitude Era? Yes you can change their gimmick. And by successful I mean relevant, whether it's main event or midcard.

John Cena whenever he actually tries to be adult and not give boring and/or childish promos. (Don't know about any of his recent ones, because I haven't watched the shows in awhile.) His Thuganomics character would have especially fit in just right.

Randy Orton with his Viper gimmick - especially during his awesome heel run in 2009 - would have fit in. Orton and Austin would have made a great personal feud, if it was anything as personal as it was between Orton and Triple H.

CM Punk likely would have fit in as well. I can imagine the Straight Edge Society being a group in the AE, and I can also imagine modern day Punk existing then as well.
