Bjork wtf that stuff wad awesome well, The Rock was. The rest annoyed me. As an 8 year old lol. The worst thing from the attitude era for me was either HHH being shoved down my throat(now that I'm an adult and see how overrated his reign was. It was always boring to me) and as a kid it was Austin. I hated Austin as a kid, I was a Rocky and HBK fan so it waa legit hate for Stone Cold, you can ask my cousins about that lol. Now that I'm an adult I see how cool Austin was.
For me personally, there's a big shift in the product from the moment Raw went to 2 hours. Go watch some earlier episodes of Raw and aside from the occasional King's Court or whatever, you didn't have long talking segments. Then skip to 98 or 99 and see how every show opens with a long segment, and then every f-grade shit like Road Dogg has to have a long entrance and repeat their same dumbass catchphrases every week. So then you get Rocky with his promos that were less about "I'm going to beat you because x y z" and more like "I'm going to shit on you and kill your momentum" that also included the same dumbass catchphrases every week, but with the added pregnant pauses, and it was just the worst to me. HHH and his "Rock-uh... I-uh... will-uh" style promos were also bad. I didn't mind HBK so much because I could appreciate that he was on pills and that was cool.
But the notion of expanding the show because wrasslin' is hot, then padding it out with a ton of useless shit like that, is what initially turned me off. Watching a 3-hour Raw is even worse nowadays, or the last time I saw one, and I think the last time I did see Raw was the condensed Hulu version. Even that had too much rambling and shit in it for me.
I have a lot of reasons for not watching and mostly reading reports, but it all started with that. When I am watching the show and I feel like my time could be better spent going outside or something, you've failed.
