8 Ways We Didn't Realise WWE Has Been Re-Living The New Generation
6. Generic Sets
Bar the King of the Ring and a few WrestleMania shows, the New Generation was filled with bland, generic and repetitive sets – be that on TV or on PPV. If you saw any outing of In Your House, for the most part you’d seen them all. Of course, that’s as it pertains to the look of the shows rather than the in-ring action itself. For sure, there were some great matches at the In Your Houses, but the same set being used over and over again failed to ever make the events feel truly special.
As the New Generation slowly began to become the Attitude Era, WWE made each and every PPV unique and distinguishable from the rest. It soon became just as much fun to see what sort of set and stage WWE was going to deliver on a PPV as it was to see what matches were being offered up.
Right now, we’re at a point when WWE has scaled back on the majority of its PPV sets to the point where shows just look, well, the same. And then you add in that the current product has also cut back on pyro except for on special occasions, and that again rings true about what fans saw back during the New Generation.
