10 Reasons Why WWE Is Not As Good As WWF
A rundown of why the WWE just ain't what the the World Wrestling Federation used to be.
Its a debate that message boards the web over have been taking part in for just over a decade what is it that made the WWF so much more fun and entertaining than the current product, known since 2002 as the WWE. Of course, it is worth noting several possible pitfalls when approaching the topic, such as the blinding power of nostalgia. Growing up as yours truly did in the supposed Golden Age of Wrestling, with the likes of Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart and Randy Savage, it is tempting to have a rigid, fixed idea about what the product should be. Not to mention, our more easily pleased, less judgemental attitude as kids is likely to skew our overarching view of the product then, compared to a more subjective, critical opinion on it now as adults. After all, how much can a logo and a brand name inherently change a product? Naturally, the argument is not that simple; the post-2000 era of wrestling marked a great period of cultural change for several reasons, many of which are detailed below. That said, my prevailing opinion as an adult is that the WWE is absolutely not the hugely entertaining product it used to be, owing almost as much to situations outside of their control as to creative deficiencies.
