WWF New Generation Vs WWE In 2020: Which Was Worse?
1. Verdict
Damning, ultimately. The shorthand for sh*t WWE is to be updated, at long last. 2020 takes the "worst ever" nod with a narrow 6-5 "win".
The thing about 1995 was that the output always had the earnest air of trying to entertain, even when it failed spectacularly to do so. Pay-per-views sunk and stunk, but try telling that to Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels after they got backstage following one of the best matches in North American history - the sort they were routinely having back then.
Vince McMahon's aforementioned post-In Your House 4 sh*tfit was the worthy of his impotent anger. He wanted his product to be profitable again. To be revered again. To be welcomed in the homes of the many rather than just tolerated by the loyal few. He's not that Vince McMahon anymore, no matter what the Network talking heads tell you. He's had it/lost it control freak that changes his mind more than he changes his workout regimen.
2020 was as big a victim of that as it was the ongoing global b*stard, and that's most telling of all. The first Raw of 2021 wasn't a bad show because - like all wrestling - it was trapped in this godforsaken no-fans era. It was a bad show because it was a bad show, filled to the t*ts with all the bad things that make wrestling shows bad.
The New Generation, in dayglo contrast, has never looked so good.
