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

Not Better #3: Many of the Monday Night War segments were silly or inconsequential

While the Monday Night War may be fondly remembered by many wrestling fans for its high stakes feel, the fact of the matter is both companies tried to pretend like the other wasn't worthy competition.

Since the WWE couldn't acknowledge their rival WCW as being capable of providing good content, they resorted to using silly antics and parodies to poke fun at the other company while simultaneously trying to make them seem inconsequential.

One of the most famous of these skits involved Triple H and D-Generation X, who would 'invade' Monday Nitro events. While fans may have hoped to see DX actually appear on a Nitro broadcast, the fact of the matter is this was only a tease by WWE. Due to a long list of copyright laws and FCC regulations, the invasion was simply never going to happen.

Another ridiculous item form this time period was Gillberg, who was a parody character of popular WCW star Goldberg. Fans point to this type of silliness as another reason the Attitude Era was not better.
