I have been watching the WWE since the earliest years of my life, back when it was still called the when it was called the World Wrestling Federation, before the World Wildlife Foundation forced them to change. I have watched through the classic era, the days of Hulk Hogan and Macho Man, to the Attitude Era, and Raw is War, I payed attention to the Ruthless Aggression era off and on, so I missed some things, but , I came back more solidly in the PG Era.
I got kinda mad after ECW was bought out, and WCW…. And some of the story arcs were annoying to me after that… And then I was distracted by highschool during the whole brand split….so I missed some of the newer wrestlers come along, but I did get to see some of my faves from the Attitude era finish their career or get permanently injured….
So, my thoughts on the PG Era….So , I came back to wrestling in 2005 after an off and on 4 year Hiatus… So Ruthless Aggression was ending while the PG era was taking hold. So, The PG era isn’t so bad, but I’m not going to lie I miss the hardcore edge wrestling once had , the violence , the blood, street matches, hardcore title, but the PG era is hit or miss…. There is a lot of dullness nowadays, wrestling has lost its bite… But , it still has moments that shine, fun rivalries and talent with potential… So I have stuck around.
So , right now The WWE is revisiting some a Hodge Podge of storyline which are quite familiar to me. This whole Authority storyline reminds me of the corporation storyline, along with other storylines from the Attitude era or maybe even other eras… Maybe even recycling material from 1999…. But, I don’t think the writers remember what made these ideas work…. Or they don’t know how to push them…
Right now these current ideas could be building blocks to much better events even if they recycle more stuff . What the Authority needs is a Rebel Staple, something like DX but, for a new era…and maybe CM Punk and Daniel Bryan could help build that staple. Second someone needs to feud with Triple H himself, something that forces him back in the ring. One of the things that I always liked about Vince McMahon in his younger days, was he would get in the ring with people and wrestle them. He wrestled triple h, stone cold, hulk hogan, and some other people…. And it was awesome , you had a chairman of a company getting his hands dirty, even if he cheated. Like or hate Vince which we often do, the man forged and made the WWE what it is today…
right now Stephanie and Triple H are still riding on Vince’s success, but I’m still iffy on whether or not they can run the company or if they will end up running it into the ground… I would love to see the PG era become a lil less PG… Maybe they could make Raw or Smackdown more edgy, kinda like the Raw is War days.. Bring back the Hardcore title… Maybe even have title matches on their non ppv shows…. I remember back when the WWE or Heavy Weight title would be put on the line on Raw or Smackdown.
Lastly, I wish the WWE would push their talent more. I feel like they waste a lot of what they have. Occasionally they will start doing good… But , still they fuck up at times…. It’s cool if they wanna focus on Cena or Orton….. But, their is other talent in the locker room.
