Botches a powerbomb or something on HHH during the match (might have the details wrong)

And people want to say that the Ruthless Aggression era was better than the Attitude era?

I wouldn't, but I also don't think 2002 is as bad as you do. I think it gets worse in 2004, though.

Not for nothing this show is embarrassingly bad.

What happened to this show? Only 6 months ago we’re in a boom period, the attitude era. We have Rock, Austin, NWO Kurt Angle, Triple H, everyone has a story and character.

Now nothing.

It looks like a wasteland.

This isn't the best show, admittedly. A week or two back Raw and SD both slayed it.

It's hard to split your resources in half and maintain the same level.

We did start at the beginning of 2002 and it was a great ride.

But I swear they had to have some travel problems or something bc the first half hour felt so much like they were stalling and HHH/Flair not even being seen until hour 2 was weird af

That’s it I give up.

There’s a reason I don’t rewatch the ruthless aggression era, it was absolute garbage that drove millions of viewers away. I watched it as happened, I watched how we went from the attitude era to this era in 2002, I remember falling asleep during shows from 2002-2004, FORCING myself to watch because I genuinely thought things would go back to normal like before the brand split

6 months before this WWF was booming with huge ppv buys and 5 + million viewers every week, now they have 3 million

Rock and others are missing and it’s felt.

And it only got worse as the years go on.

The ruthless aggression era may be better than today’s wrestling but it’s still objectively garbage and one of the worse eras ever that should never be fondly remembered.

The Ruthless aggression was not in any way better than the Attitude era or WCW AT ANY PERIOD, not in ring, story or character and anyone who says it was shouldn’t be taken serious and likely wasn’t around to watch it

I’m gonna do like the 3 million viewers did following March 2002/Rock’s departure, tune out. It’s too boring and sucks. I cannot force myself to watch this

I’m out
