10 Big Misconceptions People Have About WWE's Attitude Era

7. The Skits Were Awesome

Today's WWE fans complain about segments involving El Torito and Hornswoggle, Santino Marella or Great Khali and are quick to denounce the product and its poor attempts at comedy. Others will look a ridiculous backstage skits involving Daniel Bryan, Brie Bella and Kane and laugh as they seemingly attempt to recreate an 80's slasher flick. Those same fans will then turn around and claim that the Attitude Era was full of much better segments and skits. Mae Young giving birth to a hand would beg to differ. Vince McMahon and his uncomfortable advancements towards Stacy Keibler, Torrie Wilson, Trish Stratus and any other attractive young woman on the roster would disagree. Big Boss Man feeding Al Snow's dog Pepper to him in a hotel room says hello. The fact of the matter is, bad comedy and uncomfortable television have been part of World Wrestling Entertainment's product for a long time. That was the case during the big boom of the 1980s, it continued into the New Generation of the mid-'90s and even invaded the oh-so-popular Attitude Era. Years from now, WWE will be injected with sophomoric humor because that is what the company does.
