5 Reasons why the Ruthless Aggression Era was better than the Attitude Era

EDITOR’S NOTE: This slide requires more points and does not contain enough substance to determine why the RA era was better than the Attitude Era. Please resubmit this piece.If a random person is quizzed about which was the best time to be a wrestling fan, the most probable answer that would come out of his mouth would be the Attitude Era.One of the main reasons for this would’ve been the amount of options that were available during that period as a fan who didn’t like one promotion’s show could’ve easily switched to another to see a better offering.However, if we look from a wider angle, the ruthless aggression era which followed the attitude Era deserves more credit than it requires.It is one of the periods in the timeline that is often overlooked by many but here is a look at the reasons why the Ruthless Aggression Era was far better than a heavily overrated Attitude Era. 

#5 The Brand Split

After WCW went out of business, a plethora of talent flooded into the WWE forcing them to have a full scale brand split. There was Raw and SmackDown with talented names and both brands told entirely different stories.

Unlike the current product or the one in Attitude Era, it was just like two different promotions that were fighting it out to find which the better show was. 

And to make matter more interesting the WWE even had Paul Heyman as the creative head of SmackDown. WWE used to have only a handful of common pay-per-views for the brands and it made the fans eagerly wait as well.

Superstars from each brand crossing paths were also another interesting prospect of this while this wait and satisfaction wasn’t there to be seen in the Attitude Era.
