10 WWE Attitude Era Problems That Fans Don't Want To Admit

10. Even Some Of Today's Stars Weren't Big Fans

On the surface, it'd be easy to imagine that Dean Ambrose would be a huge fan of the Attitude Era, because the very fabric of his current WWE character seems to be one that would fit snugly into that particular era very nicely. In many ways, Ambrose is a curious amalgamation of Roddy Piper and Steve Austin, all presented in a more suitable form for the current WWE product, but the man's comments seem to give indication that he was a bigger fan of Piper's era than Austin's. During various interviews, Ambrose has been refreshingly honest when quizzed about the Attitude Era, choosing not to fawn over the time period as would be tempting to do for someone currently earning their living from the pockets of Vince McMahon. Instead, the 'Lunatic Fringe' was quoted as saying that the whole thing was generally over-rated, because there wasn't enough focus on actual wrestling. Asinine humour often took centre stage during the Attitude Era, and whilst it was fun at the time, it's not difficult to see where Ambrose is coming from with his comments. Throwing his own opinion out there, even Adam 'Edge' Copeland - a roster member during the infamous generation - has said it was much more enjoyable to wrestle during the PG era.
