Great, this thread again.
Times change, whatever was edgy in the Attitude Era is passé now.

I don't care if it's edgier. I just want blood. And lots of it. And this kids, is how people get Hepatitis. |

It's hard to say. Ratings may be down but WWE is bringing in tons of money. That being said, what happens when the fan base gets older and the age of the average fan increases? I'm not talking about the fans all of a sudden being in their 30s and showing their kids. I mean the current 10 year olds that turn anywhere from 13 - 16 and want a more "rebellious product" they can identify with. Is WWE willing to part with sponsors to save ratings? Or will they jus try to ride I out until the next generation of fans come along? Very hard to say.

Yeah cause nothing puts asses in seats like good old miscarriages, necrophilia, & beating up lesbians. WWE really had their sh*t together back then, huh?

Cursing, blood and boobs doesn't make the product better. A good story will be a good story in the Attitude Era and in the PG era. Yes it does |

People on here love the Attitude era. Go back and try to watch that  . Besides the main events the wrestling was terrible. Sure there was excitement but that's because of all the hot shot booking and shock TV they were doing at the time. You can't do that all the time and be successful. Post wwe Vince Russo is proof of that. |

The problem with edgy tv is that you have to keep topping what you did last. You can't sustain that.
First it's jumping off the top rope to put someone threw a table, then it's off a ladder, then it's off a balcony, etc.
After seeing this stuff over and over we become immune to it's impact

It'd be better if they had the option to make it 'edgier' for certain feuds and characters, but it doesn't need to be like the Attitude Era. The edgieness was only one aspect of why that time period was the highlight of WWE's history.

Only reason it happened to begin with was Monday night war. Vince has always preffered this style. If someone else would step up and threaten wwe on the level wcw did, then they would have to do something different.

I don't care about "edgy-ness"
I just want actual storytelling beyond the main event.
Give me some entertaining backstage stuff with OTHER members of the roster. Have guys attacking each other because of a personal feud. Make the mid-card titles mean something. There is a very simple solution to making the current product better. But the WWE is more focused on self-promotion, social media dominance and John Cena.
