5 Reasons WWE's Attitude Era is better than the modern era and 5 reasons why it's not

Not Better #5: Women were just eye candy earlier, while today they are treated as serious competitors

Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair engage in a fierce struggle for dominance.

During the much-ballyhooed Attitude Era, women's wrestling was at perhaps its lowest point in company history.

On numerous occasions, the WWE Women's title was determined in specialty gimmick matches whose sole purpose seemed to be to titillate male fans with exposed flesh. Evening gown matches and mud wrestling matches were more prevalent than actual wrestling bouts.

In the modern era, women are just as big a draw as the men, and are treated with more dignity and respect. Becky Lynch is the first woman to be featured on the WWE THQ video game series, and is considered by many to be the top star in the company.

By contrast, the Attitude Era pushed stars like Torrie Wilson and Stacy Keibler, neither of whom were formally trained for the ring and lacked the athletic ability to put on convincing matches. Fans point to the women's evolution as another reason the Attitude Era is not superior to modern WWE.

What do you think? Was the Attitude Era really better than the modern WWE, or are fans just falling prey to nostalgia's embrace? Please comment and let us know, and as always thanks for reading!
