It ended right when they bought WCW, around Wrestlemania 17, because after they bought WCW they had no more competition and they did not need to do the edgy storylines. And the main guys that made the Attitude Era so special like Rock, Austin etc were now part time performers and WWE was in a rebuilding stage.

Its kinda hard to keep something going when you dont have to 'one up' someone every week.

Stuff that drew ratings in 1999-2001 wasnt going to work in 2002 and beyond. Once the WWF bought WCW, the company sealed their own fate.

If they hadn't chaged the Raw and Smackdown! entrance stages an titontrons, SCSA still wrestled, Undertaker was the American Badass and Kane didn't take off his mask, we would still be in the attitude era.

I think what is happening these days in wwe is a mixture of the attitude era and the late 80s-early 90s cartoonish era. It's not a good mix.

Russo left. Like it or not.. thats the answer, you cant come up with anything other than that. Russo may have lost his mind, but the man is responsible for some of the greatest, and worst things in wrestling history. Hmmm, WWE seemed to be doing fine when Russo left, which was before the attitude era was over. Russo is mental, the guy buys into his own bull
