WWE Raw May 6th, 2002/WWE SmackDown! May 9th, 2002 Watch Along

[Ricky Smarks]

If they had a month or so before they had to transition, I feel WWE would have a whole different logo that isn't a scratch logo and the E would be included.

You can be entertained if you like

Is this the first "Oh My"?

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Maybe I stand corrected, Tazz says it's still Attitude? I mean Vince doesn't mention Ruthless Aggression until July.

 

[Chris]

It's a subjective timeline tbf

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Stacy on SmackDown may be the main reason I watch Thursdays.

 

[Chris]

All of that for Vince's intro what a guy

 

[Ricky Smarks]

It's a subjective timeline tbf

Agreed, but the one thing I stand firm on is Attitude was still rolling full force in 2002. It's when it ends in 2002 for me.

 

[Chris]

Did Cole just say shoot

 

[Chris]

Agreed, but the one thing I stand firm on is Attitude was still rolling full force in 2002. It's when it ends in 2002 for me.

I think I like the draft as the start of Ruthless Agression just bc it was a huge change, but I do think the product itself doesn't switch into the real Ruthless Agression mode until Vince's promo or even arguably when Bischoff and Steph become GMs

 

[Chris]

I'm not sure how far apart those are either tbf

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Based Vince tell them heathens. Stacy is a precious lady.

Agreed. That is my loose starting point since the product splits, but I do think May 6th is notable too since that's when the Attitude Era marketing is officially stopped. Like that intro I linked that played until Raw. But yeah, the promo and the GMs really create the RAE. That lasts pretty much the whole 5 years.
