10 things PG era fans won't understand about Attitude era

Attitude Era is considered as one of the best time periods for someone to be a wrestling fan. Everything about it was controversial and interesting that it often blurred the lines between kayfabe and reality. And it was the same tactics which saved WWE from running out of business after locking horns with WCW.But once WCW died and WWE ended up as the sole power in professional wrestling which left them with no need of producing such controversial or top notch product to stay afloat.Slowly, WWE set foot into the PG era and we could never see the great things that we used to enjoy again.The WWE network has been working as a time machine ever since the inception and since its going strong here is a look at the things that sets the Attitude Era apart from the PG Era.

#10 Vince McMahon himself

For all the PG fans Vince McMahon might be a regular old guy who is the CEO of the company and makes rare appearances on Television, but in the Attitude Era, he was the synonym for evil.

McMahon was the top heel in the company without being a regular wrestler and his feud with Steve Austin was the actual highlight of the glorious era. The Attitude Era literally kicked off when Vince delivered a real life screw job of Bret the Hitman Hart which made everyone hate him.

While most people try to turn the table and make others like them, Vince did the exact opposite and made a character out of the hate he attracted.

It went on to become a huge success as at times the only thing that the fans wanted was to see Steve Austin beat him up.
