I was watching RAW the other day and was amazed by the lack of characters in the WWE these days, you have the main event guys sure but other than that, there's an overall lack of depth. I mean back in late 1980's/1990 you had Hogan, Savage, Warrior, Dibiase, etc, but then you had mid card guys like Mr. Perfect, Jake Roberts, Dusty Rhodes, and then you had lower card guys that had gimmicks like Rick Martel, Tito Santana, Koko B Ware. And the tag division was also set apart with teams that had names but were also distinctive like Bushwackers, Demolition, Rockers. But then I was thinking back to the Attitude Era which also had alot of character depth. You had Austin, Vince, Mankind, Undertaker, then mid card guys like D-Lo, X-Pac, Jeff Jarrett, but lower card guys like Godfather, Al Snow and even Gillberg had gimmicks that people cared about, so I was just thinking which era people thought had the better gimmicks?

1985-1994 had better characters by far. And please, please don't count Undertaker as an Attitude Era guy, that gimmick was around before the Attitude Era was even conceptualized.

Fair point but The Undertaker was a bigger draw in the Attitude Era, as opposed to the early nineties when he battled the likes of Giant Gonzales, Kamala and The Berzerker. Compared to '98 against Austin, The Rock, Mankind & Kane.
