9 Ways Today's WWE Is Just Like The Attitude Era

6. People Are Getting Arrested

Back in the Attitude Era, a big plot point would be when somebody would get arrested. Steve Austin would get arrested pretty much every other week. One of the biggest storylines on Raw during the Attitude Era was the first night that Austin stunned Vince McMahon in Madison Square Garden, and was hauled off by New York City police. A couple weeks ago, when Raw hailed from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, Vince McMahon was arrested and hauled away by the New York City police, even having his mug shot. It's doubtful that arrests will happen as frequently these days as they did back in the day, but Vince's arrest was a nice little trip down memory lane.
