The Attitude Era was a period in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) and professional wrestling
history that began during the later half of the 1990s and ended in the
early 2000s resulting in a three-year life span. The era was marked by a
shift to more adult-oriented programming content, which was
accomplished in a number of different ways, Including an increase in the
level of depicted violence and the incorporation of sexually
suggestive, horrific, or otherwise politically incorrect characters and story lines created for shock value.
Similar to the 1980s professional wrestling boom, the Attitude Era was a surge in the popularity of professional wrestling in the United States as television ratings and pay-per-view buy-rates hit record highs.
The era saw several wrestlers rise to stardom, including Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, Triple H, Kurt Angle and Mick Foley; established WWF stars The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels continued their main-event prominence. Wrestlers such as Chris Jericho, The Big Show, Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero, who were unhappy with their employment in rival promotion World Championship Wrestling
(WCW) jumped ship to the WWF to make names for themselves.
Other
main-event wrestlers who first rose to prominence during the Attitude
Era include Kane, Edge, Christian, and the Hardy Boyz. The era also saw an increase in the McMahon family's on-screen presence, starting with CEO Vince McMahon's creating a heel persona of himself following the Montreal Screwjob.
Since the end of the Attitude Era, and in particular since 2008, WWE
has done away with much of the adult-oriented programming content
introduced during the Attitude Era and returned to more family friendly programming that we all hate. Watch the Era below.
