Umm..anybody who thinks making the product more Russo-like would make it better is a grade-A IDIOT. Russo hasn't done anything good since the Attitude Era. He put the final nail in the coffin of WCW, and he hasn't exactly done so well with TNA.

They need a feud with more than 2 wrestlers involved. What has happened to factions? Have one created with Kennedy, Orton, and Carlito battling Cena or Lashley and then people will come back. I just don't understand why they keep having these feuds that last like 3-4 weeks, main event at the PPV, and then they move on. Cena faced Umaga, done, Cena faced HBK, done, Cena faced Kahli, done, Cena faced Lashley, done, and now Orton. What happened to long running feuds where the heel wins every once in a awhile? The whole thing right now is just rediculous and I am getting very sick of it. This year I see what you mean but there was Cena and Edge feuding practically all of 2006. Wouldn't that count as a long running feud? Anyhow, the Attitude Era will never return. Something like that can only happen once in a blue moon and it just can't be done. Recreating the past is impossible.

I don't think they're trying to recreate the attitude era, I think they're just trying to provide more entertainment and a little more of a hardcore/in your face type of setting.

They should bring jericho back for sure...also if vince and shane would start competeting againg or atleast start appearing ...then ratings would go up and with HHH comming in as well. They would get a decent ratings push.

Okay now someone who knows next to nothing about WWE is coming up with ideas more intresting and creative than the WWE's writers. Serisouly this 'creative' team needs to be fired because they are pure crap and have been for a long time. It takes a whole team to come up with one simple storyline and then nothing for the undercard, except a few stupid skits that are meant to be funny. If this doesn't show WWE is seriously in the toilet at the moment, I don't know what does.

Yes, bring the McMahon's (All 4) and Jericho back to Raw. And bring back the Attitude Era. You go Bonnie Hammer. This is her: I'd give her the bony hammer, Jericho needs to come back

what the is everybody talking about, saying she has better ideas than the current bookers? SHE DIDN'T EVEN STATE ANY ING IDEAS( or at least the article didn't). All she said was " Bring back Austin( not ever gonna wrestle full time again, so she's an idiot), Jericho( not a draw, so she's an idiot), and feature McMahon & Cena( already happening..)". and as already mentioned, you can't recreate the Attitude era.

You can't recreate the era. Totally agree. Did everyone forget about DX: 2006?

Jericho back in the WWE is good, and the Attitude era was brilliant.

Seriously though, and I say this as a fan of Jericho, he didn't do anything to pop buyrates and whatnot. The 'E didn't make a ton of money off of him as champion. In measurable ways, he wasn't a draw.

You can't "bring back" the Attitude Era. You can't recreate the circumstances and the mood of the culture from ten years ago. That audience has changed and moved away from wrestling, for the most part. Guys like Austin, Rock and DX were lightning in a bottle, it's going to be a long time before we see something like that again. The current booking team (Read: Stephanie McMahon & Brian Gewirtz) is too caught up in ridiculous ideas like making Haas and Benjamin into The World's Gayest Tag Team. Raw, back in the Attitude Era, was cool, hip and edgy. It is none of those things now, because the "creative" committee doesn't know how to write that kind of show. As Kevin Nash said in a shoot interview, "How can you do a show about sex and violence when it's written by guys that have never gotten laid or been in a fight?" Vince and "creative" have grown too complacent and if Bonnie Hammer can light a fire under their asses, then more power to her. However, she should know enough about creating television to realize that bringing back Austin and the like won't draw the Attitude audience back in, it will only give a nostalgia pop for the folks that are still around. It's not even about "creating new stars", it's more important to correctively utilize the guys they've got. The misuse of guys like Kennedy and Carlito, for instance, is criminal. Pushing an uncharismatic cancer like Randy Orton is another insane decision. And don't even get me started on the worthlessness that is Snitsky. If WWE really wants to spark another wrestling boom, they're going to need to book ahead of the audience. Bringing in Jericho (or anyone else) isn't the answer as long as "Creative" is creative ly bankrupt. After all, a bull **** movie with great actors is still a bull **** movie. Very good post and very good sig. Karma for you.
