For me, it's the New Era. Too boring IMO.

Sure there’s been average times in WWE but it’s hard to pinpoint it to a five or six year time period. More like a few months to a year or so.

Attitude era, but the PG and reality/authority era were really awful as well.

 My least favorite Era is the left side, and my most favorite Era is the right side. I'd change the Spinner for the Undisputed, but my point is still the same. |

Out of all the Era's I've lived through/been a fan during, and gone back to watch, definitely the 'New Era' of 2016-Today. For the most part, it's just been average for me, and my interest in the product has been at it's lowest during this time. There have been some great moments here & there. But overall, this Era is probably my least favourite so far. (Excluding the Golden Era, since i haven't watched too much of that)
- I liked 2016 WWE and thought it was a good year. Something about it was just so special, so that year was good.
- Early 2017 was good, but everything after WrestleMania & the shakeup was average and boring. Not to say it was 'horrible', but just bland. The only thing I cared about for the rest of that year was The Bludgeon Brothers & their push.
- 2018 sucked... It just sucked. The only thing two things I liked from that year were The Bludgeon Brothers push (again) & their tag title run, and Daniel Bryan's heel turn & title win. Experiencing 'Super Showdown' Live was a great experience, and it had a few good matches, but that's about it.
- 2019 wasn't too bad, I just wasn't all that interested. The Royal Rumble, and WrestleMania were the only two things i was kind of excited for. The rest of the year was average aside from a few gems throughout... Luke Harper returning at Clash of Champions was great, and i was excited for the match at Hell In A Cell. The Black/Murphy matches were great too.
- 2020 was what it was, and did the best it could given the state of the world. Though i did enjoy it more than other years. Edge's return is one of my all time favourite moments, the whole Rumble PPV & Drew winning was great. I enjoyed WrestleMania for what they could do. Something about the whole year, especially the PC Era, was just nice.
- 2021 has been really good so far. The Rumble was a bit disappointing because of the no crowd, but the show itself was good. WrestleMania with a crowd again was great. Cesaro getting his big moment, and the Universal Title Triple Threat match were my two highlights of the show. That Triple Threat Main Event is one of my all time favourite matches now. Lashley's reign was great, and The Hurt Business was great while it initially lasted. Hopefully they keep them together longer this time.
Roman Reigns has been one of, if not the best thing about this year. This run as 'The Tribal Chief' has been great, and I'm actually looking forward to what he'll do every week. Edge's work this year has been top tier too... Storytelling at its finest, and he can still go strong in the ring. This year, in my opinion, has been the best year for WWE since 2016.

Once Edge retired in 2011, I didn't care for any WWE from then up until Seth Rollins heel turn in 2014. So from 2011 - 2014 I did not really enjoy.

It went down hill fast after the Ruthless Aggression era. I quit watching during the PG era.

I never cared for the Ruthless Aggression era, if we’re not counting the past decade which for me is by far the worst. It’s so bad it’s not even wrestling so I don’t count it.
RA era had moments but it’s fair to say it’s my least favorite. Too try hard with the edginess, it didn’t have the charm that the Attitude Era had for me, or the characters.

New era. I can’t stand anything about the presentation.
Don’t get me wrong, the performers today are some of the most physically talented that have ever been. The way that the show is presented however, feels like a soulless corporate circus. It really doesn’t feel like a wrestling show to me anymore (which I think was by design).
I’m also not a fan of the ostentatious wokeness. It’s not the social conscience that bothers me, it’s the fact that it’s largely a ploy to attract other corporate ringmasters. Good on you for giving back to the community, but please don’t beat me over the head as you pat yourself on the back.
I just want a wrestling show with wrestlers.

The New Eras Presentation; the death of long term booking; semi manfactured epicness. Missed oppertunity; this without question should be the best era in Wrestling yet.
You have the star power of the RA; Talent diversity; etc. So much and we get so little. The New Era did start on a much higher note. And WWE was coming in hot from 2016; and 2017 totally dropped that ball.
The PG Era was really bleak; and the glimmers of hope New Era has doesn't dawn as much in the PG Era. I think the transition was fine. 2008 was fantastic. And SmackDown's upper card in 2009 was entertaining; and WWE did produce lots of really fun PPV matches in 2009. But; 2010 was really the most PG WWE got. Like; when I think of PG WWE I yell 2010. Not saying everything was gloom and doom; but pretty damn close. 2011 was actually pretty damn good in the second half; I think WWE started to become somewhat aware of the fans kinda not really. But there was a little edge to the product.
And I think it helped the PG Era on a stronger note. But; the death of the brands and some of the lower tier main eventers were really bleak.
Sheamus and Delrio running god awful program on 3 PPVS that felt forever. Guys like Delrio, Ryback, etc who are perfect US title contenders are semi main eventers in this time period.
Lots of missed opportunity in these times. I will say 2013 produced tons of awesome TV matches. And I think we did miss lots of opportunity in this era; and could of got a little better. I will say the PG Era ended in a much better way then how it started. And Mid 2011 really helped.
The Reality Era I really missed; but I regret missing it. Lots of awesome stuff sprinkled in. Lots of failures though at the same time. Lots of good stuff though. Lots of good stuff. 2014 had tons of good stuff; but I think it didn't convert well into the New Era.
I don't care much for the New Generation.
I'll always be a RA Fan Boy Early PG Era as in the rest of 2008 Fan Boy.

New Era tops the list easy for me. There’s been a few bright spots here and there but really there hasn’t been anything that has completely caught fire in WWE in the last few years. I mean Austin 3:16, Daniel Bryan Yes Movement, etc…
Things can get hot like McIntyres rise to the top, or the debut of the Fiend, but eventually it all kind of fizzles back to mediocrity. Reigns currently is the best thing they’ve done in years. If we were being subjected to baby face Roman with a reign this long everyone would have turned on it a long time ago.

I went with Other, and I'm going to do a bit of a deep dive here on this:
I watched WWE regularly from 1998-2007 and then 2010-2019. I've since gone back and watched stuff from 2007-2010, so I'm going to answer this by year:
2007 - The majority of the year was good, but I tuned out by the end of the year.
2008 - I went back and watched a lot of 2008, but I wouldn't do it again.
2009 - Same as above.
2017 - This is when I started to lose interest again, it just seemed overly repetitive. Same matches week after week, no PPV hype, and just a lack of anything good really.
2018 - Daniel Bryan carried me watching through most of this year, but damn, 2018 was hot garbage for the most part.
2019 - Watched up to WM35, and that was that. Enough was enough for me.
I haven't watched (other than the odd clip or match here) WWE since. If I had to narrow it down to a specific era, it'd be tied between the PG and New Era's.

PG Era had some great matches, plus the rise of Chris Jericho and CM Punk saved it for me
