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

Better #2: Storylines and angles took longer to unfurl

Vince McMahon reveals himself as The Undertaker's 'higher power' during the Attitude Era.

One of the major criticisms lobbed at the modern WWE era is that many storylines seem to be clipped short, or rushed through.

Part of this is due to the relentless, once per month (at least) PPV schedule that the WWE employs today. With only three to four weeks to build up a potential feud for one of the super shows, the promotion must sometimes make sacrifices in terms of drama to get the match properly marketed.

But there were a lot of PPVs during the Attitude Era, as well, and the company still had longer and more involved storylines and angles. One such angle was the "Higher Power" debacle. Undertaker hinted that he served a greater evil than himself, and speculation ran rampant for months before WWE finally revealed that the higher power was Vince McMahon.

The Attitude Era wasn't afraid to spend months or even a year building up a particular storyline to its ultimate fruition, which is why many fans believe it to be superior to the WWE's modern era.
