Change
This resonates with everyone. Change is something some people don’t like and don’t want to happen. For instance, the Golden Age lasted for 11 years and then the WWE moved onto the New Generation for 4 years and then the Attitude Era for 5 years. Since the turn of the century, times have changed. Knee-jerk reactions about edgy ideas and gimmicks are more common and the image of WWE has to be played carefully as the steroid scandal tarnished the image for a little while.

In order for any type of venture to be successful over a lengthy period of time, they need to be up-to-date and with all of the trends that are going on at that particular moment. As a business, if the money is getting a younger audience involved, which leads to making more money, then that’s what should be done.
Needless to say, anyone who invested a lot of time, emotion, and money in the Attitude Era knows how hard it is to say goodbye to something you cared a lot about. People from that Era just aren’t as emotionally involved with wrestling as they were in the past.
