Exclusive Ken Shamrock Interview: Triple H Isn't The Man To Run WWE

3. Shamrock On Today Compared To The Attitude Era

WWE.comWWE.comRM: Do you currently keep track of WWE€™s product? And if so, can you share your thoughts on the direction the company is heading in? Do you believe your character would've flourished today?KS: I do watch it every now and then, but not too frequently as I have to travel a lot as part of my ministry work. I enjoy it and like some of the talent that is in there. I don€™t know, but I really miss the Attitude Era though, the tough guy era. I don€™t know why they turned away from it. Maybe it€™s because of new people in charge - I don€™t know, but it is not there. It was pretty clear that was what the fans liked, but you know it is what it is and the people are doing the best they can with what they think will work, it is definitely not that someone is trying to sabotage the WWE or anything. They seem to be trying to do things that they think is the best for business, no question. But also to it, any time you run a business and you are in charge of a company and it isn't doing as well as it should be doing... you need to make some changes or you are going to lose that company.
